Can't forget about Birmingham
As candidate Patrick Cooper challenges the residency of mayor-elect Larry Langford, the court date remains set for November 14. Langford takes office the day prior. I still have zero real stake in the race.
Thanks to Birmingham Terminal for writing about this blog ("The other Patrick Cooper"), and thanks to candidate Patrick Cooper's cousin for e-mailing to say he was enjoying the posts.
What's the latest? We're in a bit of coverage break before the court session. But Birmingham News columnist has a piece guessing what candy the various city players may be giving out this Halloween.
Start with Mayor-elect Larry Langford, because he is the easiest. He'd pass out 5th Avenue bars, because he might be able to claim them as a downtown home address. He'd offer 100 Grand bars because, heck, that's what he does. He'd pass out Paydays and Now and Laters, or a combination of both, for all those bond dealers: Pay Me Now and Later.
…
Second-place mayoral candidate and election-challenger Patrick Cooper can give Bit-O-Honey. Like that stuff stuck in your teeth, he just won't go away. His supporters who keep on calling? Almond Joy, I guess. Or Mounds. Sometimes they seem like nuts, but sometimes they don't.
Read the rest. This Patrick Cooper is out of candy. Happy Halloween!
