See recent postsAnother “guns in church” bill is coming. It will be as pointless as the previous versions
You can take your gun to church, unless the church says you can’t. There is no law that will change this. And there will never be one. That is because in America, a private business or house of worship has the right to prevent anyone from entering their premises for pretty much any reason that … Continued

See recent postsA letter to Steve Marshall: You’re still wrong about why Alabama could lose a congressional seat
Dear Steve, It’s not the brown people. It’s the dumb people. The latter is Alabama’s real problem when it comes to the issue of people who reside within this state’s borders. And no matter how many times you, and a few others, attempt to place the blame for Alabama losing a congressional seat on undocumented … Continued

Del Marsh is having himself quite a week. And by that, I mean that Del Marsh is doing dumb things in the hopes that some of you will please remember that he exists when it comes time to vote for the U.S. Senate seat currently held by Doug Jones. Apparently, the way to win the … Continued

See recent postsTrump’s con game is almost over
It’s all true. All of the rumors. All of the speculation. All of the oh-my-God-have-you-heard-about whispers. All of it is true. All of the things that Donald Trump and his administration and family have been accused of doing … they actually did them. All of them. Even the really dumb ones. Even the really awful … Continued

See recent postsThe importance of being thankful
It’s important to be thankful. I know that sounds trite and that your immediate reaction was to roll your eyes and mutter “oh, great, a stupid Thanksgiving column,” but give me a second. This is not an attempt to recast reality or try to put a pretty bow on a steaming pile of horse manure … Continued

See recent postsAs Alabamians send other states’ kids to college, Ivey and ALGOP have no interest in education lottery
The lines snaked out of the gas station doors and around the building in some spots. At others, there was just a steady flow of people in and out for the past three days, usually a lengthy wait at the counter. Alabama residents were playing the lottery. Right over state lines, Alabamians stood in line … Continued

See recent postsThe stupidity is still surprising
Congratulations, Guy V. Martin, you’ve managed to surprise me. That’s not easy to do. At least, not where it concerns someone writing dumb things or carrying the water for a rich person or an even richer company. I’ve been covering politics in this state for a long time. So, I know a thing or two … Continued

See recent postsIn politics, more than ever, conversations are important
Terry Lathan was not happy with me. That tends to happen, I guess, when you say in a column that someone believed a dumb thing. The believer of that dumb thing, it seems, very rarely shares the opinion that what they believe is, in fact, dumb. And that was pretty much Lathan’s position. In a … Continued

See recent postsQuestionnaires show Maddox consistent, Ivey lying
Kay Ivey is lying. With a capital L. She’s not using a “talking point,” as many in the media have claimed. She’s not ducking a question. She’s not being politically savvy. When Kay Ivey looks into cameras and tells the people of Alabama that she won’t debate because her Democratic opponent, Walt Maddox, keeps changing … Continued
