C’mon, Alabama GOP voters – can’t you do better than this? – The must useless attorney general in American history, Jeff Sessions, announced on Thursday that he will seek to regain his old senate seat in the 2020 election. Presumably not satisfied with the way his do-nothing tenure at DOJ ended, Sessions now wants Alabama voters to allow him to write a different, hopefully more positive end to what had been a pretty solid political career prior to 2017.

Bird's EyeBy Karl Zinsmeister Take Ownership What a year! The world's first full-color feature film has just been released. Now there are whispers of special-effects-laden Hollywood blockbusters to come over the next several years. Two projects thought to be gestating: an adaptation of a much-anticipated new book called Gone With the Wind, and some kind of musical based on the Wizard of Oz children's stories. More films are also expected from the sensationally popular new comedy team that debuted last year: The Three Stooges. Meanwhile, the red-hot new entertainment medium of radio continues to boost its audience. Fully two thirds of...

Electoral College? It's antiquated Rosemary Roberts 10-1-04 News & Record When I was in college years ago, I was on the debate team and the national collegiate debate topic was: "Resolved that the Electoral College should be abolished.'' What goes around comes around, because the Electoral College is back in the news. On Nov. 2, when Americans go to the polls, the voters of Colorado will decide whether to change that state's winner-take-all electoral system to a proportional distribution of electoral votes. If the measure (called Amendment 36) is approved, it will apply to the Nov. 2 election in Colorado....
