A great analogy of Alabama Politics. Goat Hill politicians getting their way, living the good life, while the taxpaying, working dogs, get the shaft. Hopefully the playful dog will be adopted.
Story of "Goat Hill" from the Alabama State Archives ( first picture): "Andrew Dexter, one of the founders of the town, had held on to a prime piece of property in long anticipation of the capital's eventual move to Montgomery. Dubbed "Goat Hill" for its use as pasturage, the site retained that affectionate appellation despite attempts to dignify the spot with names like "Lafayette Hill" (after the 1825 visit of the Marquis de Lafayette) and "Capitol Hill" (after the 1847 construction of the Capitol)."
