Rep. Daniels?

Among the 45 sponsors of House Bill 183, one name is missing: Steve Daniels.

That's because he's a reporter for ABC-11, not a state representative.

But that didn't stop Rep. Cary Allred from calling it "the Steve Daniels bill" for a news report he did in February about school bus drivers using cell phones that led to the legislation. He also testified during a committee hearing on the bill.

Allred noted that Daniels had mentioned his role in getting the bill written during last night's telecast.

"I'm looking forward to the bill passing so that we won't have to hear so much from him about how much he's done for the state with regard to this bill," Allred said.

The bill passed the House unanimously and now heads to the Senate.

Hey, leave Rep. Allred alone, he was once known as a young Stokely Carmichael, or so he claims.

With Hugh Webster and John Rhodes gone from the General Assembly, he is all we have left for comic relief.

Well, other than Her Majesty Bev and her lording over the Senate.

We noticed you don't work on weekends.

I think that's the main difference between professional bloggers (you) and the grassroots bloggers (me). We don't know when to quit.

Well, I don't work on weekends, so no, don't expect a "daily dose."

Rep. Allred makes good copy, no doubt, but should we expect a daily dose of Allredisms from the online UtD? Do we have to?
