I am trying to figure out which is the worst thing in this article about the poisoning of a couple famous oak trees at Auburn University:
– Someone was despicable enough to poison a perfectly healthy tree because it is on the campus of a football rival.
– Alabama has a law that allows this guy to be tried for the crime of desecration of a venerated object.
– Alabama considers a tree on a college campus a venerated object (how very un-Christian of them, something about false idols I believe).
– The moron who did this named his kids Bear and Crimson Tyde.
He should go to jail on the 4th one alone.

Later he went back on the radio to say this [via espn]:
The Alabama fan accused of poisoning his rival school’s famous trees said on a Birmingham radio show that he is going to get what he deserves and that he just has “too much ‘Bama in me.”
Harvey Updyke Jr., accused of poisoning the oak trees at Auburn’s Toomer’s Corner, went on Paul Finebaum’s show on Thursday, the same outlet he used in January to confess.
“I just don’t want it to be my legacy,” Updyke told Finebaum. “I don’t want to go to my grave saying, ‘Harvey the tree poisoner.’ I think in my life I’ve done a lot of good things, and undoubtedly that wasn’t one of them.”

According to the quoted article he may face charges for poisoning the water table too. If he lives long enough to survive his prison sentence — does he really believe this will EVER go away?

The guy is an idiot, plain and simple, and deserves any jail time he gets. He may have to move from Alabama if he wants this to go away.

Well at least now he’s not remembered for “Harvey the idiot who named his Bear and Crimson Tyde”. I still cannot believe a woman allowed him to name her children that.
