al.com: NewsFlash - Turnham: Alabama not likely to swap early primary for delegates

My dream of being personally sucked up to by potential Next Leaders Of The Free World lives. Considering that at the last Democratic convention the Alabama delegation got worse seats than Puerto Rico despite the leader of the state party being a longtime personal friend of John Kerry, it's little surprise that the Alabama Party is not interested in doing what the national Party wants. The primary would be the same day as Arkansas', Feb. 5, a week after South Carolina and two after New Hampshire.

Take that, Georgia!

Bomber Rudolph bemoans prison conditions | Chron.com - Houston Chronicle

He doesn't like prison. Isn't that a shame. I suppose it's a real step down from living in a hole in the ground:

Olympic bomber Eric Rudolph laments in a series of letters to a newspaper that the maximum-security federal prison where he is spending the rest of his life is designed to drive him insane.

"It is a closed-off world designed to isolate inmates from social and environmental stimuli, with the ultimate purpose of causing mental illness and chronic physical conditions such as diabetes, heart disease and arthritis," he wrote in one letter to The Gazette of Colorado Springs.

This is all more or less correct. In his case, I don't mind so much.
