Where Is Robert Palmer? Did Gun Control Do Him In?


Robert Palmer has written for the TimesDaily for a number of years. So where is he?



Recently we received some complaints on the TotallyDecatur not covering the problems at the Florence Animal Shelter. Several mentioned seeing Bernie Delinski at a council meeting, but never reading about the proceedings. Wait...Bernie Delinski? Wasn't this Robert Palmer's territory?

We did a quick check and his last published article was an editorial from March 4th. The editorial was critical of some efforts to counter gun control. Did local, or even non-local, NRA members protest? Of was it just a case of Palmer getting a better offer?

Is he now a toadie, er, roadie for a well-known Shoals rock family whom he helped immortalize in print at the TD? Or writing the bios of that Florence political dynasty he insisted was real? Or did the New York Times call? Or does anyone really care...except for the gun control angle that is?

  1. Kind of a stretch to make some sort of "conspiracy" case on this one. A simple explanation is Robert Palmer retired. Probably with a very nice pension from the New York Times. Nothing really to see here.....moving on.
