I was born and raised in Alabama...this is pretty typical of how the state’s priorities are so out of whack.

I’ve seen this wine bottle at the store and never really even noticed the nymph is naked. Who cares.

In the meantime, Birmingham has turned into a thug-filled crime den too dangerous to visit during most hours. A good chunk of the politicians are under federal indictment and/or are in jail. Jefferson County is broke. The economy is in the tank.

But, hey, let’s focus our efforts on a random $12 bottle of wine.

I recently moved to Huntsville and have no complaints. I’ve been all over this country and Alabama is about like everywhere else. If anything I worry about losing regional variation. I actually find this thing with banning bottles with the nude figure kind of quaint and charming.

I've been through Birmingham about 5 different times in as many different years and every time they have some serious highway construction going on. Is that a perpetual thing there?

I totally agree with you. It’s no different than the US congress devoting its time to discussing the BCS or the steroids issues. When you can’t deal with the important or controversial issues, create an issue. Does anyone actually believe that any of these politicians are offended by the naked nymph? This is nothing but a bunch of horse manure.
