It's the Alabamans' Fault/Metro Properties LLC

It looks like Rick Santorum has won the largest part of the state's Republican delegates. Is this surprising? Yes, for some strange reason it is...just as it's surprising to us that Fay Parker currently has the lead over Keith Collier Jr. for Lauderdale County Commissioner. At least in the latter race there will be a runoff. Some races are always iffy, but why that particular one should be is beyond our ken.

Oddly enough, we've only recently discovered that some of our state's citizens refer to themselves as Alabamans. Weren't they taught in grammar school that it's Alabamian? If they weren't, we're sure we could dig up some former teachers who could elucidate them...or perhaps not. Sadly we might have to literally dig some of them up.

Now let's get prepared for the runoffs. Aren't they fun?

Several readers have asked the names of  the owners of Metro Properties LLC of Colbert County and Game On LLC of Florence. Metro Properties is owned by Kenneth Crump, but we can find no Florence listing for Game On. Both entities lost heavily in the Christmas 2010 fire at Sidelines II in Muscle Shoals.
