Makes me almost want to move to Alabama

A lot can change in six years, but for now, Charles Barkley is saying that he plans to run for governor of Alabama in 2014. It's long been speculated that Sir Charles would throw his hat into the 'Bama ring, and Barkley now appears ready to do just that. He says he figures that he can't screw things up worse than they already are, because: "We are number 48 in everything and Arkansas and Mississippi aren't going anywhere."

And that's why I'd vote for him. Not sure he'd be a good Governor. But the man gives good quote. Constantly entertaining.

When he was criticized by folks about his gambling habits, this is what he had to say about those critics: "I never saw them in there getting kicked in the head by Karl Malone."

Explaining his post-NBA girth: "I really don't eat that much. I just, more or less, tend to eat all the time."

On the nature of humanity: "I don't care what people think. people are stupid."

And my favorite Barkley quote, made as he was taken off the basketball court on a stretcher, with it being clear that he had just played his last NBA game: "I'm just what America needs - another unemployed black man."

*Love*
