I went to sleep in America and woke on a foreign shore.
Now I'm fighting my way back home.

A hurricane heading for Mobile? Somewhere near, to be sure. Well, we survived the big blow of Trump's visit. We'll make it through this lesser wind.

Dear Alabama,

So, now you're mocking protesters of the president's visit to Mobile? Once, most Alabamians did that to another minority exercising its rights against the majority's will.

How'd that one turn out for you?

Your kids' kids will know better. Beat them to the punch.

Translating Trump…

“All of the SLEAZEBAGS, like Third Rate "Reporter," Kaitlan Collins, of Fake News CNN...They're all sick, treasonous, and demented!”

Translation: Why didn’t my father love me? And do you know how important I have to feel to keep that thought out of my head?!

Do I rename the water in the guest bathroom toilet:

a) The Sea of Trump
b) The Bay of ICE?
c) The MAGA Canal?

I guess the important thing is: it's all going where it needs to, eventually.

I don't so much think of myself as "optimistic" these days as I do a "fun" sort of rational.

It will have to do. Especially come November.

So many pointless acts of violence these days; maybe we need a "shelter in place" order for everyone, everywhere.

In 2022, scientists tracked a bar-tailed godwit that flew 8,425 miles from Alaska to Australia, nonstop, without food or water. It remains a magnificent record from a bird the size of a loaf of bread.

So, what are you waiting for, a map? Be a bar-tailed godwit.

Wallet Hub has its 2026 educated population list out. The South has about 70% of the bottom 10 sewn up.

Some say our glass is half-stupid. But we of the South answer, "What's that supposed to mean?"

Poli Sigh...

So, Tubberville vs Jones is set to answer any question about the general IQ of Alabama voters.

A real nail-biter.

One day, more of us than not will stop looking for great where it never was and start laying the foundations for where it could be, instead.

Until then #Resist .

What she wants for you is more important than who she is, than her life as a teacher, a funder of White Christmases, the maker of blankets for children in need, and more, much more.

So she believes, though if you knew her better, you would disagree.

And for you, she wants only:

If you live long enough, everything you remember will only exist in photographs and diaries, or in the puzzled faces of kids who remember being much taller than they are now.

And you were a baby once, and everyone loved you. And everything was possible.

The good stuff still is.

In a move that would shock a guy moonwalking in wool socks on a shag carpet, midwinter, Fox host Sean Hannity has declared he no longer considers himself a Catholic.

Or, presumably, the starting center for the Boston Celtics.

The Pope and TDS?

Early on, when I'd ask Christian conservatives how they could follow Trump and still claim Christ, they'd tell me if I had a better grasp of theology I'd understand.

That has to sting a little, today. #Resist #PopeLeo

“Gov. Kay Ivey Signs Bill Requiring Display of 10 Commandments in Certain Public Schools”

Made me wonder what the uncertain ones get.

I'm kidding. They get shot--because kids can't vote, and Ivey turned Alabama into an unlicensed concealed carry state.

It'll have music (mostly Village People), a grift shop every few feet, and plenty of benches. They’ll set green fees at a million dollars to keep out riffraff, but they'll give you ten times that when you turn in your balls.
