- The week ends with former Governor Don Siegelman headed back to jail for 78 months, his lawyers undecided about appealing that sentence. There was no shortage of bad blood between Federal Judge Mark Fuller and the Siegelman defense team, and you have to wonder if that played a role in the maximum sentence Siegelman received.

- It's been hard to hear a negative word about this weekend's back-to-school sales tax holiday. Retailers promote it endlessly, politicians say they collect more revenue, and people who love to shop, well, love to shop. But Alabama Public Radio talked with an economist who says it is bad tax policy.
The Tax Holiday may be bad economics, but I took the opportunity to stock up on printer ink.
