Boy howdy, y'all! The day has finally come for Alabama Republicans to tell Big Luther Strange that he can git on outta here with his weird, porny name. The people of the Yellowhammer State like their politicians smothered in Jesus gravy, so they're ordering up a big helping of Roy Moore, a guy who was kicked out of office for violating the Establishment Clause, TWICE.
Yeah, yeah. We know they haven't actually counted the votes yet. But come on.Â

Alabama Election Day: The Deep Fried Fuckery Edition
I always suspected Tom Cotton had that kind of military history.
AN ALABAMA POLITICAL MEMORY
I lived in Montgomery in the 80s the governor was George Wallace. One Fine Saturday Afternoon I rode my bike down to the capitol steps where Wallace was to give a speech.
At the appointed time a body guard wheeled Wallace to the mike. He began mumbling and slurring indecipherably while the crowd of about fifty stood in quiet attention. Occasionally he'd give a crooked grin and his body guards would start laughing, a cue to the crowd to laugh - which it did. After about 30 minutes of this they wheeled him back inside.
On a personal note: I had taught one of Wallace's brand new step daughters. Wallace had recently divorced 'The Redneck Jackie' Cornelia (who had attempted to shield him from Artie Bremmer's gunshots) and married a twenty something aspiring country singer. I also taught the daughters of one of the state senators - I can't recall the name - Baker or Barker I think.
And everybody was a Democrat back then!
