Steve Marshall … fighting for ethics and the law?

Give Steve Marshall a round of applause. No, I mean it. Fair is fair, give the man his due — he’s done his job as Attorney General of Alabama this week.

New bill would gut ethics laws — just like voters wanted

Congratulations, Alabama voters, you are about to free state lawmakers from the inconvenient restraints of ethics laws. A bill sponsored by Sen. Greg Albritton and co-sponsored by Senate President Del Marsh would wipe out most of the current laws, freeing up lawmakers to again profit immensely from their public service jobs.

Teresa and Greg Almond are living in a storage shed. In their 50s, business owners and upstanding citizens, they live in a storage shed, are warmed by a propane heater and use solar panels to get a smidge of energy to power a small TV at night.

Albritton, Marsh introduce Indian lottery bill, sell out Alabama citizens

Sens. Greg Albritton and Del Marsh are sellouts. There are probably nicer ways I could say that, but what’s the point, really?

Another pathetic display from the Alabama Democratic Party

You know this isn’t right, Alabama Dems. It’s OK to like Nancy Worley and Joe Reed. I certainly have nothing against either of them, and I believe that on roughly 90 percent of social and political issues, we likely agree.

ADEM: where corporations regulate themselves … maybe

Imagine, if you will, that your home is burglarized and you happen to catch the break-in on your surveillance video. You take it to the cops. They quickly ID the perpetrators of the crime.

There is nothing to be happy about in the Mueller report

Why are you so happy? I’ve asked this question at least a hundred times over the last week, ever since Republicans started their weird victory dance over the Mueller Report.
