Another proud campaign trail moment

Tracy Birdsong, a GOP candidate for the Alabama Supreme Court, received cheers Saturday when she told a crowd in Huntsville that the electorate should vote Republican to rid itself of "liberal activist judges." It was a wise suggestion, considering that Alabama courts, where Republicans hold all nine spots on the Supreme Court and all but one seat on the intermediate appellate courts, are clogged with such hippie types.

The real fun came at the speech's start, though, when Birdsong accidentally moved Huntsville about 170 miles to the southeast.
