Alabama needs a new normal

By Josh Moon Alabama Political Reporter It’s funny to me who we shun in Alabama.

The rally wasn’t … Continued

The return of intelligence

By Josh Moon Alabama Political Reporter It is time for intelligence to make a comeback. Actually, let me rephrase that: It is time for America to again aspire to and value intelligence. Somewhere along the way — and I think it was when Americans decided that “who’d you rather have a beer with” was a … Continued

I could stop there and you would likely know all you need to know about that … I’m not sure what exactly took place on the capitol steps Tuesday afternoon. A lecture? A physical manifestation … Continued

Morally inferior Alabama

By Josh Moon Alabama Political Reporter Let’s have a conversation about morals. That’s a big thing in Alabama — morals. Our people love to talk about them, love to pretend that “Alabama morals” — “Southern morals” — are superior. And boy, don’t even get them started on “Christian morals,” which obviously have no equal. Last … Continued

The Roy Moore debate is over

By Josh Moon Alabama Political Reporter The Roy Moore saga has jumped the shark. The exact moment this thing became too absurd for even Alabama is hard to pinpoint, but it definitely occurred during Thursday’s 20-person condescension-fest and press preachin’. Probably around the time they welcomed to the stage “The Activist Mommy blogger,” a middle-aged … Continued

Is Roy Moore’s growing scandal masking larger GOP plot?

By Josh Moon Alabama Political Reporter On Wednesday morning, a candidate for U.S. Senate threatened to sue his state’s largest newspaper group. By Wednesday evening, that news was so old, so inconsequential and so boring that it had been bumped entirely from news websites across Alabama. Think about that. Roy Moore threatened to sue al.com, … Continued

Alabama deserves Roy Moore

By Josh Moon Alabama Political Reporter Apparently, this needs to be said again: Alabama does not deserve better than Roy Moore. Back when former Gov.

Dear America: An apology for Roy Moore, and all the rest

By Josh Moon Alabama Political Reporter Dear America, We’re sorry. I’m speaking for all of us here in Alabama, even if some of these people will never apologize and never believe that they’ve done anything wrong. The rest of us know better, though.

There is no bottom for Roy Moore Republicans

By Josh Moon Alabama Political Reporter Maybe there is no rock bottom for the Alabama Republican Party. Maybe it’s just that mushy mud that you find on the bottom of the Tennessee River, and the ALGOP just keeps burrowing deeper and deeper into the muck and filth. Thursday brought on a new bout of digging, … Continued

By Josh Moon Alabama Political Reporter If Roy Moore becomes Alabama’s next U.S. senator, he’ll do it without Gov. Kay Ivey’s endorsement.
