Langford explores mayoral campaign

Larry Langford wants to run for mayor of Birmingham, a city of which he is not what is technically called "a resident". Which is a shame, because he feels that the city could use his brand of madness "aggression and vision":

How dare they take away the pork that Richard Shelby grabbed fair and square? It's just delightful how outraged the Birmingham News is about this.

So, where were we?

40 killings from'06 remain unsolved

Well, there's always Birmingham's skyrocketing murder rate. Well, it's not skyrocketing any more, it seems to have leveled off, only at record levels -- 109 last year. But hey, give the police credit, they managed to solve more than half of the killings. Take a bow, guys!
