Editorial: Child Poverty - WSFA 12 News Montgomery, AL
excerpt ..
As a matter of fact, last year Alabama ranked 47th out of 50 states and this year we dropped to 48th. The survey ranks U.S. states - best to worst - according to 10 indicators, including rates of child abuse, teen births, children in single parent homes and unemployment in the household.
Patrick T. McCarthy, president and CEO of the Casey Foundation, says and I quote "We need to find the will to make sound investments that can improve the economic prospects for families today while preparing our children for the future."
It's apparent that whatever we are doing as a state is not working. So we encourage those in the public and private sector to take action and reach out to those states in the top 10 and see what they are doing to drive down these key indicators. Let's emulate success Alabama.

Perry: King of the Know-Nothings - The Daily Beast - Michael Tomasky
Liberals called George W. Bush a simpleton, but as Michael Tomasky argues, he was deeply informed compared with Rick Perry, who seems to delight in demonstrating his ignorance.
Rick Perry has traded in his dog whistle for an air-raid siren. He wants everyone to hear, loud and clear. His is the most right-wing presidential candidacy by a "serious" contender since I don't know when (Warren Harding? But he pardoned Eugene Debs!). Have we really reached the point where reveling in conservative hatreds and revenge fantasies can get a man elected president?
Bush—and it leaves me speechless that he's starting to look reasonable by comparison with the current crop of GOP presidential hopefuls—was hardly apologetic about his political views. But he and Karl Rove did have the sense to know when they were throwing gasoline on the domestic fire, and they did it in smallish doses. You might be able to Google up the odd careless quote from Bush about something like global warming, but in general, and especially on the occasions when he knew his words were being very closely watched, he steered well clear of extremism.
