sweet home alabama...

So, the governor of Alabama is calling for a boycott of Aruba to get those lazy Aruban police off their asses (paraphrase there) and look for Natalee Holloway's abductors/killers. It is the fault of the Aruban police that she's missing, after all...Natalee is in no way responsible for hanging out with people she didn't know (and, it would seem, were not good people) in a foreign land. No, it's Aruba's fault that she's gone and so we must, must punish these people!!!

On a side note, this page lists 31 unsolved murders in the Huntsville area, here are two unsolved murders (and two arsons) in Shelby County, here are 17 unsolved murders in Dalton (including a police sargeant!!!), this page lists ten unidentified deaths, here's two in Jefferson County, five more in the Montgomery area, and, well, you get the point.

Using Gov. Riley's logic we should have all be avoiding the hell out of Alabama for a long, long time...of course, most of the above victims aren't pretty, white, and rich.
