I didn't know Condoleezza Rice was from Birmingham until I heard it in Spike Lee's When the Levees Broke, one of my Christmas presents from Todd. (Extremely sobering, especially as holiday gifts go? Yes. A good choice for Sus? Again, yes. Funny that Xmas 2006, for us, played to the very sorrowful soundtrack of that film. Soooo good and soooo heartbreaking.)
Anyway, Condi, Birmingham. Who knew? Not I. Did you? I bet you didn't. C'mon, you really didn't.
(Does it matter? Is there some smart-ass conclusion to be made here? NO!)
