Rolling on with our one year anniversary week, here I count down my personal favorite ten items that ran in the last year. I’m not saying they’re the BEST ones necessarily and there are dozens of runner-ups I couldn’t list, but I think this gives a pretty good summation of what the site’s all about….

Everything Petty Issues Has Taught Me In the Last Year
Lessons 1 through 5: Not a damn thing. Oh well, might as well make a list anyway. Lesson 5: That People Really Love “Asshole of the Week.” Although I think 14 individual segments a week is plenty, if I were to add one, it would probably an entirely separate segment for Asshole of the Week….
Everything Now What? (Life Post-Grad) Has Taught Me
Rolling on with this week’s trend of going through what each segment has taught me (I’ll stop short of recapping what “Mom Jokes” taught me but not until then), it’s “Now What?’s” turn to act a little wiser. But since part of being young is not learning from your mistakes, I didn’t really learn much…
Everything The Fast Food Critic Taught Me in the Last Year
Going along with this week’s anniversary trend of recapping some of the lessons I learned doing the various segments comes this “Top 5” lessons list from The Fast Food Critic. Lesson 5: 9 Times Out of 10, The More Ingredients Something Has the Worse It is For You. That’s not always an ironclad rule, but…
Everything Working Class Economist Has Learned in the Last Year
As I pointed out yesterday, this marks the one year anniversary of Alabama Liberal. And what better way to celebrate than to look back on the last year and detail what Working Class Economist has learned… Lesson 1: Rich people suck. Lesson 2: That is all. No, but in all seriousness there were just a…
Everything Red State vs. Blue State Has Taught Me This Year
So as I mentioned a little earlier today, this is the one year anniversary of the site. And for the rest of the week I’d like to celebrate by recapping some of the things I’ve learned by doing the different weekly segments. [There will be similar “Top 5” lessons for Working Class Economist, Fast Food…
Down and Out in Bumblefuck: Karl Rove Roots Against America By Shitting on Chrysler Ad
Proving that people will make a controversy out of literally anything, Karl Rove took a big dump on Chrysler’s PRO-America ad yesterday and there were plenty of Faux News morons to back him up. For those that aren’t familiar with the contents of the ad, it featured life-long Republican Clint Eastwood talking for roughly two…
Today Marks Alabama Liberal’s One Year Anniversary!
Well, we all knew it had to happen sometime (provided I didn’t get bored and lose interest after a few months), Alabama Liberal has survived long enough to celebrate it’s one year anniversary! So, suck it all non-believers, that means you George W. Bush (remember him?), Mitt Romney, Tea Party, Alabama’s Republican Party hellbent on…
Movie Review: If a Tree Falls…
Today brings a mini-trend as this film (like Paradise Lost 3) is also a documentary that got an extremely limited theatrical release, but people should catch up with it at home. If a Tree Falls is about the “eco-terrorist” group the E.L.F. or Earth Liberation Front, as it follows a couple of the members who…
TV Review: How Are This Fall’s New Shows Doing Quality-Wise?
So here we here are in midseason, and although many of last Fall’s shows didn’t get cancelled because of their decent ratings, I can’t help but think the new crop of youngsters looks more promising (The River, Touch, Awake). After taking a step back, I can honestly say that none of the Fall’s new shows…
Movie Review: “Paradise Lost 3,” A Documentary You Wouldn’t Believe if it Were Fiction
I can practically hear some of the people reading that headline. “What is this movie and when did it come out?” “And how is there three of them when I’ve never heard of the first two?” This riveting documentary didn’t technically get a theatrical release and is actually part of a trilogy of docs HBO…
Movie Review: Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close
I know this movie technically came out last year and if people haven’t watched it by now they probably won’t, but still it’s nominated for a few Oscars and might even win one (but won’t) so why not review it? This movie is about a boy with autism who loses his father (Tom Hanks) in…
Mom Jokes: Donations
A driver was stuck in a traffic jam on the highway outside Washington, DC . Nothing was moving. Suddenly, a man knocks on the window.The driver rolls down the window and asks, “What’s going on?” “Terrorists have kidnapped Congress, and they’re asking for a $100 million dollar ransom. Otherwise, they are going to douse them…
