3rd World, Alabama


The AP reports the Birmingham City Council has agreed to buy those aforementioned "$100 laptops" for the city schoolkids...and the story highlights the fact that the machines were designed for "3rd World" countries. The story will be carried everywhere, like in The Boston Globe, spreading yet another negative story about that city, and by extension, the state. Weren't there enough red flags flying above this plan for at least getting some experts to take a second look?
