Does Our Legislature Know Why the Answer is "The Bear?"

 

We would like to know how many of our male state legislators were shocked/surprised that almost all women would prefer to meet a wild bear in the woods to meeting an unknown man. Why is it a shock?

We have one presidential candidate accused of being a rapist while the other is accused of being an exhibitionist sniffer.

We have a state representative serving part of Colbert County who thinks a woman who has had an induced abortion should be put to death.

The governor of Texas announced he would eliminate the crime of rape in his state by the end of 2021.

In July 2022, at least six U.S. Representatives stated they didn't know it was possible for a ten year-old girl to become pregnant (one of them was female). 

Cheap shot, but if Gov. Gregg Abbott of Texas thinks he can ever eliminate rape anywhere, that tree damaged more than his spine...

Could Two Shoals Killers Have Sentences Commuted?

 

There are currently 30 inmates on Alabama's Death Row who were sentenced by judicial override, a practice made illegal in 2017. A law that would have resentenced these convicted murderers didn't pass during this current legislative session. Next session?

If these 30 individuals do have their death penalties commuted, it will affect two from Northwest Alabama. Pictured above is Christie Scott who has now served over 15 years:

Road to Death Row

The second Death Row inmate from this area is Thomas Dale Ferguson from Colbert County who shot both Harold and Joey Pugh dead in 1997. The gunman has now served over 25 years awaiting his fate:

Presidential Tie-Breaker

 

You always hear about setting some candidates up for failure, but we're not sure we've ever seen it until today.

Our November presidential selection was going to be a write-in of "Anyone Else." There was no way we could see voting for either Biden or Trump. Things change.

Biden to Welcome Some Palestinian Refugees

Of course, these refugees must have ties to this country. Is that as in they have family who have previously trashed U.S. universities and/or blown up national landmarks?

No Lottery Yet...

 

The blog's title pretty much sums up the story. If you're wondering, there is still a possibility this session.

Remember our question/comment about the cause of Kay Ivey's unnaturally wrinkled face? We got only a few answers, but this was the best:

Cigarettes, Bourbon, and like Ebenezer Scrooge in Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, visits from the ghosts of people she wronged over the years.

Our third factor would have been the sun, but we like this one much better...

This is Missy. She's the State's first dog, so she isn't up for adoption, but if you see Kristi Noem coming, warn her:

Coulda Been Better, but Coulda Been Worse

 

I Learned Everything I Know from Satan!!!

This spawn of Satan Garrett Larkin got 30 days in jail and 50 hours community service at the Colbert animal shelter where Sheffield police officers will take turns biting him. Okay, not the last one with the police officers, but he deserves it.

The community service? Let's hope it's all poop patrol!

Let me bite him. I'll do it for free!

Misplaced Laws(?) - Part II

 

The Pulpit Abusers

When Gov. Kay Ivey signs the following bill, it will be law: https://www.alreporter.com/2024/04/29/alabama-legislature-passes-bill-to-punish-child-sex-abuse-by-clergy/

It's much like the death penalty. Those who commit these crimes either think they're too smart to be caught or are so inflamed by passion that they don't care.

We know several men and women who, while attempting to lose weight, refrain from shopping in the cookie or candy aisle. If someone knows he has a taste for children, he has a choice of profession. Perhaps the world needs more lighthouse keepers?

Misplaced Laws(?) - Part l

 

So who's right?

Ledbetter and his history lesson: https://www.alreporter.com/2024/04/26/opinion-a-history-lesson-on-the-uaw/

or

Moon and his take: https://www.alreporter.com/2024/04/29/opinion-the-average-worker-is-getting-hosed-and-you-know-it/

No one who writes here is an autoworker, so we can't vote. One of these two arguments rings more true to us.

Surely neither would lie to us. Would he?

*****

One final comment: If Ledbetter is wrong, he and several others were paid at your expense to do the wrong thing...and the governor is supporting him.

Okay, one more comment/question: Look at Kay's face in the photo below. Three things can do that to a face, or a combination thereof. Comments welcome!
