It's a big deal that Jones won, I think it is a great thing for 'Bama. I don't know if this necessarily indicates the first step in a shift in their politics, but if that state continues to prosper, then maybe? I love Alabama, the folks there do pretty well with each other. Yeah, it took a...

While I do see the same danger that you and Sol see, I have also voted there for many years, and those polling volunteers don't screw around there. They'll keep an eye on things.

Oh shit. They just lost the election. The second you start talking about a Jew lawyer, you better have either a development deal for a miniseries or you better be within four miles of a fairly well-developed mass-transit system. You really don't want your audience to start thinking about Jew...

If we forget about the legality/illegality of it for a moment, and if we forget how violently creepy it is for a church man to stalk teenagers, and if we forget how bad this makes other healthy Southern Baptists seem in comparison to that con artist ... Alabama voters are then left with a single...

I took my daughter to friggen Starbucks (my teenage daughters won't drink the far more delicious gas station coffee) and they had that fucking pay-it-forward bullshit thing going. I should have said "thanks the freebie, and here's the money for my daughter's mocha latte as your tip." Instead, I...

Is that how much ten coffees cost in your neck of the woods. Over here, ten "coffees" will set a well-meaning suburban daddy back about $80.

I think that a person needs to live there a few years, raise children there, plant some trees and build some things there to really see what's behind Alabamans. It takes a while to purge the preconceived notions. My son was born in Tuscaloosa btw, he's my favorite Alabaman.

I'll take a different bet. I will never, ever again buy coffee for someone behind me again. The last time I got roped into that bullshit, the bitch behind me for whom I bought an entire breakfast and coffee, then nearly ran over a gal on her bicycle at a ped crossing. I'll send you something...

Northeastern people are the most honest people, I'll agree with you, they have a brutal kind of European honesty that I really like. And Westerners have an odd -- and sometimes delightful -- ability to make friends quickly. The cliche for Easterners is that you can be friends for a lifetime...

Alabama is a surprisingly complicated place. You can meet a solid redneck there with tobacco juice stains down the side of his lifted F-150, and he might also be a renowned chemical engineer or he might be openly gay and every one of his redneck friends knows it and loves him anyway, they rib...

I've lived about the same number of years in Alabama that I've lived in NY State and New Jersey. Alabama is no more inherently racist than those two states. In some ways it's a lot less racist. But in my view, both the North and South states are probably less accepting and open minded than the...

Here's the thing about Alabama voters ... they have a history of electing weak, ineffectual leaders within their state, but they also have a history of electing powerful leaders to represent their state in DC. If they collectively think that Moore will be hamstrung by all of this in bringing...
