Nunn enlists faithful in fight against crime
Birmingham’s chief of police wants:
to get local churches, mosques and temples involved in rebuilding the community by supporting mentoring programs, clean-ups, neighborhood revitalization and programs to help former inmates successfully return to society.
Which is actually a pretty good idea. I am struck, however, by the name: The Nehemiah Project. Didn’t Nehemiah build a wall? Yes, the story mentions it — he built the walls of Jerusalem. Does Chief Nunn see Birmingham as one big gated community now?

Council gives BJCC deadline
I have decided that I want the Birmingdome built somehow. Hey, I live in Tuscaloosa County now, it’s not my tax money. Anyway, I have come to this decision because I figure that until it’s done the idea of building it will be held over our heads forever and we should just get it over with. I should point out that this closely resembles my rationale for originally supporting the Iraq War, and look how that turned out. I hope the City Council has an exit strategy.
