What does the fact that an alleged murder, plus her victim husband, 
supported Tim Morgan have to do with the murder case? Morgan already 
said he would personally excuse himself and try to bring in an outside

Sorry you seem to have missed my previous statement regarding my 
own pride in serving our country. The remark about being ashamed
to wear a uniform in Clinton's army was certainly NOT a ridicule
of our servicemen and women, but a relection of the dismay I
would feel (and certainly many of them share) at serving in our
fine armed forces with Clinton at the helm. I'm sure that you
and I both would do our duty "For God and Country" regardless...
but that doesn't change the way a person feels about Clinton and
his principles.

Other than Mr. Clinton not being President until he's sworn in, I
generally agree with you. (I didn't vote for him, for what it matters.)
Until swearing in, he's the President-Elect.

Ummm,
I think maybe you should have been warned that the Classic Cat, the last I heard
and I am a native, is somewhat known as an adult entertainment spot.  The music
could be good, I don't know, but I'm not sure you'd want to take you're wife 
there.  The Bluebird Cafe, on Hillsboro Rd in Green Hills, take Harding Pl west
from I-65 to Hillsboro, about 6 miles then right on Hillsboro, is one of the 
best places to go for the music, but it is hard to get into.  Tootsie's on
Broadway downtown is pretty famous, and then there's always Opryland.  Good Luck!

Well, I too have dealt with Mr. Abernathy before--Which is why I
have a pile of asphalt in front of my drive (un spread and if
you don't know it is there possibly harmful to your vehicle). I
also don't believe that my letter will make him want to step
down; sometimes you write things like that in hopes that he will
ignore it which *should* further anger the people. Also I wanted
to focus the blame away from the Republican party as the
Huntsville Times & News have in the past blamed the GOP for the
cost of contesting such unfairness.
   The best thing about the last election was Mrs. Dyer's
overcoming the obstacles the new re-districting threw her. Her
new district is so spread out that it is a miracle she was able
to talk to all those people--but she did--TWICE! 
   I hope that justice is served and that Mr. Glenn Nunley will
be our duly elected County Commissioner.

   I voted against him. He is (again IMHO) a coward, and also he
can't answer a straight question with a straight answer. I flat
out asked him at a forum if the pres' election were to go to
congress would he vote with the 5th congressional district or
with HIS PARTY? and he spoke for ten minutes and never answered
the dang question, so I followed up on it and pressed him for an
answer...he said he'd be "Hard pressed not to". Bahh Humbug!

You are wrong when you say Jack Wilson contributed to his campaign, 
he did not. I know, I have seen the fair campaign practises sheet. 
(sp), and it is Betty who is listed, not her dead husband (who also 

was my little girl's eye doctor).
 
Furthermore, Tim Morgan is not the one who will decide who gets to 
prosecute the witch, the DA in Tascaloosa (sp--sorry it is 4:30 am!)
will from what I hear--and I do listen.
 
I think Mo should be the one to prosecute her since he has already 
put in so many hours on the case and is more familiar than any other 
new prosecutor would be at that late date.
 
I also hope her motion to delay the trial (another slick move to keep 
Mo from having a go at her) fails miserably.

Any American has the right to express his displeasure with having a
draft-dodger as President and Commander-in-Chief.  It is not necessary
to have the benefit of attaining a certain age or to have been a veteran
(embittered or not) of the Vietnam conflict.  Anyone with an average
level of common sense can see the irony in having someone like Bill
Clinton as our Commander-in-Chief.  As you should know, like it or not,
choices we make have far reaching (and often bitter) consequences (as
those who voted for him will no doubt see).  Such choices place your
life on a certain path and you cannot pretend that that choice was
insignificant, then or twenty years later.  Your maturity and time spent
in service to our Country should tell you that as far as time is
concerned, the more things change, the more they stay the same.  Bill
Clinton really is (as we all are) what he is when no one is looking. 
And what he is is a draft dodger.  (And that's just one of his
"virtues").  We have no choice now but to give him a chance and hope
that the checks and balances built into our system protect us.  A
Vietnam Era Veteran myself, I was proud to serve in our armed forces. 
But I'd be ashamed to wear a uniform in Bill Clinton's army.

It's easy and inexpensive.  Testing is the only way to know if you and your

Fix your home if radon levels are 4 picocuries (pCi/L) or higher.

You can fix radon levels.  There are simple ways to fix radon problems

Well lets see here... you're a 2nd Lieutenant, that'd probably mean
you'd be about 22-25 years old, which would mean that you would have
been a toddler during the last of the Vietnam conflict. Condemning Bill
Clinton for something that happened 20+ years ago with out a clear
understanding of the times and circumstances, which is most difficult to
do this far removed, seems to me to be rather petty.

I served in the Army during the Vietnam conflict (enlisted 1966,
graduated Infantry OCS 1968, served 15 months in Vietnam). While I
went to Vietnam with the opinion that what we were doing was right, it
only took a couple of months "in country" for me to decide that; 1) we
probably had no business there, 2) we certainly weren't prosecuting
the war to win. Had I known in 1966 what I learned in 1969 I would
have also found a way to "dodge the draft". I don't hold Bill
Clinton's action against him, and really it is the Vietnam era
veterans, and only them, that have earned that right.
