BY P. MICHELE LEONARD Contributing Writer

The small retail business that sits on the corner of Sixth Street and Greensboro Avenue has been around for 29 years. Charles Spurlin, the owner of The Shirt Shop, said he is simply living his dream. As the owner of his store, a private real estate owner and a happily married man with two daugh- ters, Spurlin, 52, said he has enjoyed running and operating his store that he described this year to be “red hot.” Spurlin said he has been known for his hard work serv- ing the community of West Alabama with his products, and he is having fun in the process. Spurlin said he works six days a week at the store — around 70 to 75 hours. “I love my job,” Spurlin said. “I know it seems like a lot of work and long hours but its fun to me.” He said his family gets most CW/ Whitney Walker of the credit for making him Charles Spurlin, owner of The Shirt Shop in downtown Tuscaloosa, gets want to keep working hard. “If it wasn’t for them I prob- ready for a big business weekend brought about by gameday crowds by ably wouldn’t be as driven, and displaying new shirts.

This conjures images of the playground bully sur- rounded by his goon-ish buddies, doesn’t it? What does the president have against children who can’t afford health care? Our system of checks and balances is in place to — ideally — keep one branch of government from becoming too powerful. Congress passes a bill. The president vetoes the bill. If enough people support the bill, it passes again and overrides that veto. Checks and balances in action. Threats aren’t needed, Mr. President. Democracy will be victorious, in the end. According to the AP story, the president also criti- cized Congress for “shoving a tax hike” into every bill proposed this year and not sending him any appro- priations bills. President Bush has been criticized repeated- ly for government spending increases, and the AP reports that he never vetoed a spending bill from a Republican-controlled Congress. It’s interesting how he all of a sudden wants to be tough on spending. When rumors surfaced about Congress possibly combining three different bills, Bush advised them to “pass each bill one at a time in a fiscally responsible manner.” Jim Manely, senior aid to the Senate Majority Leader, said it best to CNN.com. “Taking advice from President Bush about fis- cal responsibility and getting things done for the American people is like taking hunting lessons from MCT Campus Dick Cheney. Neither is a good idea,” Manely said. Whatever the president hoped to accomplish with this speech, he only managed to demonstrate more hypocrisy in his reasoning.
