Protesters gather Friday at American Indian site in Oxford
More than 50 people joined hands behind the Oxford Exchange Friday night to protest the demolition of the large hill behind it, which is believed by some to be a sacred Native American site. "Money has taken over, and they have no consideration for our people," said Tony Castanedo, Sr., who is a local Native American tribal elder.

Burying history? Workers begin destruction of Indian site in Oxford
OXFORD — It may be a site of importance to American Indians — possibly a burial ground — but to the city it's just a pile of dirt. The city, through its Commercial Development Authority, hired a company to take down the hill located behind Target at the Oxford Exchange.

Dear Gov. Robert Bentley,

If asked to name your favorite sports team, do NOT follow the lead of this Republican governor.

Politico reports on this comment from Chris Christie: "My favorite football team is not the New York Giants. It’s not the New York Jets. And it’s not the Philadelphia Eagles. No, get ready now. My favorite football team are the Dallas Cowboys.”

Did we mention Christie is the governor of New Jersey. That would be like the governor of Alabama saying his favorite team was Notre Dame.
