Congratulations, Hoover!

MTV to tackle more `Two-A-Days'

Your children will continue to be exploited on MTV for the forseeable future!

I can understand their concern

Sex offender group worries block

A ministry is housing released sex offenders in a bunch -- 26 in one building and others in the area. Five others are about to move in. Gosh. I guess you could look at it as a positive -- at least you know to tell your kids to stay away from there.

This should be fun

Court workers study Spanish

How do you say "roust" in Spanish? Or "driving while Hispanic"? Or "Hoover Mayor Tony Petelos is a..." Well, you get the idea.

My thanks to the Republican Party

Millions of Seniors Facing Medicare 'Doughnut Hole' - washingtonpost.com

That seems nice... what?

After years of neglect, Linn Park statue gets facelift

Lede:

Whipped for decades by wind, car exhaust and the occasional stray bullet, the statue of a beloved Birmingham teacher is slowly returning to its former luster.

Okaaaay... There are three bullet holes in the marble statue.
