Friday Notes

A few notes I've wanted to post, but time, as it sometimes does, got away.

  • Etta James has passed. I blogged about her poor health recently, with her sons being hopeful, but alas and At Last, it was not to be.
  • We aired a story on CBS 8 News that gives a peek into the building process at the site on Harrison Road in Montgomery in which CBS 8, ABC 32, and The CW will share quarters later this year. You can watch it here if you are so inclined.
  • My question about what if the Bourbon Street tea-bagging incident had a women as the victim? Well late last night the suspect was charged with sexual battery and obscenity, despite comment like "oh it's just frat boy pranks."
  • And who knew that President Obama could sing? He did Al Green one better---well, not really, but just as the rich man's jokes are always funny, the leader of the free world's entertainment is always entertaining.
Have a great weekend! Spring is right around the corner!

  1. I thought the President did a fine job with Al Green's song - it made me imagine how he might go around breaking into song in the privacy of home.

  2. Yes Charles! Does he sing in the shower? I want to think that Presidents can be themselves at least some of the time!
