Reader Requests...

A few topical requests from readers:

The family of accused child pornographer Perry Underwood asked us to publish this statement: " We are all shocked and disgusted, and we believe justice should be served. We all miss and love him, but his affliction is inexcusable. We are grieving, but after all he has done and put his family through, we believe he is where he belongs. "

Alcohol at the Keller Festival? Before we could write anything, the steering committee for the event voted down any chance for alcohol sales in connection with the festival. While we're sure many supported the sale of spirits at the event, we believe the committee made the correct choice.

What do you want to do with Hoda? Two readers have asked us about the mini-controversy over Sen. Doug Jones wanting Hoda the so-called ISIS bride to return to the U.S. Many haven't bothered to read his rationale that this is the only country in which she could possibly receive legal punishment. She's not committed any known crimes in Syria, so it's not about letting that country pay for any trial. There won't be a trial if she's not brought back here. On the flip side, if she's not returned to the U.S., one could reason that having to live out her life in some hellhole of an Arabic country is sufficient punishment for her actions. 

Roy Moore running for U.S. Senate? Is anyone surprised? Have you read some of the evidence he's collected in his answer to Leigh Corfman's libel claims? Apparently some affidavits refer to how many men she's f*cked as an adult woman. Way to go, Roy. As a certain anchorman would say, stay classy.

Bradley Byrne for U.S. Senate? Rep. Byrne doesn't always come across as well as he should. He has a lot going for him. We haven't seen anyone better on the Republican side; he may just be the best person for the job.

On Behalf of Politics, We Resent These Allegations...Not to Mention the Allegator.
