Your political note for today.
2 buses, several cop cars and I think every motorcycle cop in Birmingham is outside my building today, along with some noticeable MIBs. (hey, "blend in with the crowd" isn't exactly their job description)
Why?
Birmingham's a stop in the Congressional Civil Rights pilgrimage, which is apparently an annual event.
side note: they're riding Adventure buses, a company based in Sumiton. Congressional reps supporting in-state business, yeah!

(note that neither one is Bham. Didn't even make today's headlines at nbc13.com)
