According to the Birmingham News, Governor Bentley attended a church this past Monday, and stated in church, "Anybody here today who has not accepted Jesus Christ as their savior, I'm telling you, you're not my brother and you're not my sister, and I want to be your brother."http://blog.al.com/spotnews/2011/01/gov-elect_robert_bentley_inten.html

He said, "IF I have offended anyone, I apologize."

Using the word "if" means that he does not recognize his insult, and thus his apology is diminished.

Jay...have you ever met the governor in person? How have you been? Haven't been able to get over to your site in awhile...have had 2 deaths in the family, my father broke his arm, and my daughter had a tubal pregnancy and lost the baby...Been taking my father to doctor visits...he has many. My biological father is lying in a funeral home, awaiting cremation, due to negligence on the part of the hospital he was in before he passed away.

(biological father) had his items "misplaced" by the hospital, and therefore we still cannot give him a proper burial until all things are taken care of according to plans by the funeral home. The same hospital "misplaced" items from another individual in the very same room. I find that very shocking.
