Not the ‘history’ we want to preserve

There are a few old strip club buildings on Victory Drive that have to be close to 50 years old. Better tear them down now; otherwise Historic Columbus will make you keep them.

Public participation

‘Middle class’ bracket creep

Most Americans earn far less than $200,000 annually. Hope they will defeat Republicans who vote to raise their taxes while rewarding millionaires with tax cuts.

The answer, sadly ...

If I were an Alabama voter, who would I want as my Senator? Someone who prosecuted KKK members who bombed a church, killing little girls, or a man who pursued little girls for sexual gratification?

Is this who we are?

Only in a banana republic do they prosecute an opponent from an election.
