Bobby Jindal: GOP needs action, not navel-gazing
We’ve had enough. Yes, we just lost our second straight presidential election to Barack Obama. Yes, losing is painful and has consequences. Yes, when you lose, you make adjustments. Enough already. Let’s get on with it.
Yes, we have plenty of changes to make. I’ve offered a list of seven ideas for change, former Gov. Jeb Bush has offered substantive thoughts, as have Senators Rubio, Johnson, Paul, and others. The points these gentlemen have made are sensible and merit serious discussion. And it should go without saying that we should continually challenge our own assumptions and evaluate our standing. But excessive navel gazing leads to paralysis. At present it looks as if the entire Republican party needs to go to counseling. It’s really getting embarrassing, all these public professions of feelings of inadequacy. Every day it seems another jilted high-placed Republican in Washington is confessing to the voters; “It’s not you, it’s me…” Politico

We thought this Top 10 was timely after hearing about Texas Gov. Rick Perry's radio ad campaign in the winter quarter that targeted California companies. In the ad, which ran on stations throughout the Golden State, Perry says, "Building a business is tough, but I hear building a business in California is next to impossible." With that in mind, here are ten great locations in the South for relocating California companies.

That headline represents the first eight words to the song titled "Mexican Radio" by the band Wall of Voodoo. The big hit from 1982 (No. 58 U.S. and No. 18 Canada) that was played about a dozen times a day on MTV in the music video era is awesome. The song was popular with the creative class (before anyone knew what the creative class was until Richard Florida told us), is often heard today on some of the most listened-to Internet stations such as Radio Paradise. Go ahead and buy some Mexican Coke at Sam's (that would be Mexican Coca-Cola), sit back, bring up "Mexican Radio" on YouTube and enjoy.

Do you think it was a coincidence that after Airbus broke ground on its $600 million, 1,000-employee A320 plant in Mobile, Ala., on April 8, that Boeing topped that deal by announcing it would invest another $1 billion and add 2,000 workers at its new 787 Dreamliner plant in Charleston, S.C., just 24 hours later?

Editor's note: This article was the cover story of the latest edition of Southern Business & Development magazine, the parent company of The Randle Report. "It's good to be Nashville right now," said Nashville Mayor Karl Dean in a wonderful story about his city titled, "Nashville's Latest Big Hit Could Be the City Itself," published in the January 8, 2013 edition of The New York Times. The piece began with this: "Portland knows the feeling. Austin had it once, too. So did Dallas. Even Las Vegas enjoyed a brief moment as the nation's ‘it’ city. Now, it's Nashville's turn."
