Langford says Birmingham Olympic bid no joke

This was the title of an article in The Birmingham News this past week. This comment is a perfect example of why Birmingham citizens' blood pressure has been on a steady increase since La La, aka Larry Langford, has taken office as the mayor of the Magic City. So, according to La La, we should not think for a second that the rumors of a bid for the 2020 Olympics by Birmingham is a joke. Why would this be a joke? $500K just to APPLY isn't anything when you are as rich as the city of Birmingham and Jefferson County...........oh yeah, they aren't rich at all. That may be why some people could think these rumors are a joke. Actually, they are so NOT rich that Jefferson County is on the verge of filing the largest municipal bankruptcy in US history.

The thing that makes this potential gigantic bankruptcy filing especially important to this discussion is the fact that La La served on the Jefferson County Commission from 2002-2007 and until 2006 he was the Commission President and Commissioner of Finance and General Services. As the Commissioner of Finance, La La orchestrated a series of complex bond swaps that were proposed as solutions to the County's ever-compounding debt......stay tuned for more on this saga.

Do You Squidoo?

If you are wondering what the hell Squidoo is, you probably aren't alone. I only recently discovered it and I don't remember exactly how, but it is the most addictive thing ever!!!! You can make a "lens" about anything at all that interests you. Lenses are basically the different web pages within Squidoo that everyone creates on any and all subjects. Most of the work is already done for you and you just have to basically arrange everything and come up with a good topic. I know, this sounds completely uninteresting, but trust me.......once you stop, you can't stop. Check out my page @ Squidoo.com Sphere: Related Content

I knew Kanye and Bonnaroo didn't sound right......

This is classic. Kanye apparently showed why he didn't belong at Bonnnaroo in the first place. Check out the details @ Rolling Stone or a very funny take on the situation @ 411mania.com Sphere: Related Content

Well, here I am....

Honestly, I have no clear direction for this blog and no idea if anyone will ever see it. I have recently been sucked into the insane depths of "social media" and needed an outlet for my frustrations, observations and just general b.s. that has come along with this journey. Since I have created a Squidoo.com lens or blog about almost everything I can think of in the past couple of months, I thought the only logical thing to do would be to create a blog about these blogs. Stay tuned.....let the games begin.... Sphere: Related Content
