See recent postsAlabama Republicans can’t manage the crisis they helped create
On Tuesday, Alabama’s governor called together the state’s media, in the midst of a global pandemic, so they could broadcast pictures of her tying a ribbon around a post to remind people to pray for healthcare workers.

See recent postsGroupthink voting is now literally killing us
I have many friends who can tell you the names of the offensive linemen who started last year for their favorite college football team. And most of them can also tell you who their backups are.

See recent postsAn optimist, or just naïve?

See recent postsKay Ivey has an opportunity to do some real good
Dressing up in blackface 50 years ago doesn’t make Gov. Kay Ivey a racist. It just helps explain why she’s a racist today. Think of it sort of like those superhero origin stories that are popular now. The blackface incident at Auburn was just one early clue that Kay Ivey was going to be a … Continued

See recent postsTuberville was right. And then he caved.
Tommy Tuberville is right about veterans’ health care. Or, well, he was right. Before he bent to political pressure and stupid Trump pandering. But when Tuberville, speaking to a group in north Alabama this week, said that Trump should be doing more to help this country’s veterans, he was right. He was also right to … Continued
