So this weekend doesn’t necessarily bring a “sex tip” but for many men in Alabama, we’d rather watch football than actually have sex (in fact, the two aren’t necessarily mutually exclusive and probably trigger the same parts of the brain when doing both). What this weekend talks about is the strange phenomenon of people giving…

Larger Editorial: Romney vs. Gingrich, Two Candidates that REPUBLICANS Hate
I know this race is already about played out and most of you are probably ready to hear about something but…too bad, for now at least because an observation really struck me this week that this race is unlike any other I’ve ever seen. Now most of you might say “Well no shit,” but what…
Fast Food Critic: McDonald’s Removes “Pink Slime” From Hamburgers…Wait, There Was Pink Slime?
There isn’t a whole lot of news every week that comes from major fast food chains, and there is virtually NO news from them that is positive. However, McDonald’s defied that expectation this week by announcing that it hasn’t used ammonium hydroxide in its hamburgers since August of last year, and that ammonium hydroxide is…
Working Class Economist: Mitt Romney Admits He “Doesn’t Think” About the Very Poor
At the risk of turning this once diverse feature into “Why Mitt Romney Sucks This Week,” it’s yet another week in the presidential campaign (as it will be for the next nine months) and disappointingly brings another fuck-up from the Mitt Romney campaign. [With a candidate like this it really speaks to how unpopular Gingrich…
Entertainment Editorial: Alabama Liberal’s Book Club Selection for January is…The Leftovers!
So right now I’d like to start Alabama Liberal’s Book Club Selection both to promote great books that I like and also to counter the notion that nobody in Alabama reads. Each month I’ll be picking a different novel and hoping that maybe (juuuuuust maybe) someone might read it because I told them to, thus…
Monday Morning Movie Reviewer: The Grey
I was downright shocked at how much I liked this movie and especially considering that almost all of the audience I saw it with hated it. But most likely the same things they didn’t like were the same things I did like: the willingness to keep us off our toes, the realism, the refusal to…
Movie Review: Miss Bala, an excellent Spanish film everyone should see
This weekend I had the pleasure of watching another critically acclaimed independent movie that was the exact opposite of Albert Nobbs. Miss Bala is thrilling, ferocious, alive, and speaks to today in a way that few Hollywood movies even attempt to. While the Oscars pathetically role around in past nostalgia for bygone eras with nominees…
Monday Morning Movie Reviewer: Albert Nobbs
I figured since this movie was nominated for a few Oscars, I might as well see it. To be honest, I probably didn’t need to in order to tell exactly what it would be and I wish I wouldn’t have spent the two hours. What Works: Well…uhhh…Janet McTeer and Glenn Close have both been nominated…
Movie Review: Man on a Ledge
This movie is stupid as hell. It has a few sequences that are pretty neat but if you go see this, you might as well take 10 bucks and flush it down the toilet, and then forget you did that because you also won’t remember this movie the next day. Watch Mission Impossible 4 instead…
Mom Jokes: 9 Months Later
John decided to go skiing with his buddy, Keith. So they loaded up John’s minivan and headed north. After driving for a few hours, they got caught in a terrible blizzard. So they pulled into a nearby farm and asked the attractive lady who answered the door if they could spend the night. ‘I realize…
Sunday’s Sermons: Why Are Democrat Politicians So Quiet in Backing Abortion?
As I pointed out in the Sunday’s Sermon directly below this one: making abortion legal actually decreased the number of abortions a country has, and abortion numbers have gone nowhere but down in almost every country that has legalized it. So with last Sunday marking the anniversary of the STILL controversial decision of Roe v….
Sunday’s Sermons: Abortion Rates are HIGHER in Areas Where It’s Illegal
So here it is the weekend of the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, and a little earlier in the week brought an Associated Press news story that many of you might have missed given that it was buried under internet blackouts and Republican candidates slap fighting each other like something out of a three Stooges…
Bubba’s Sex Tips: Jan Brewer…Red State Governor or High School Girl?
The tireless researchers here at Bubba’s Sex Tips (each and every one with no less than a Bachelor’s Degree from Phoenix University) have been oddly captivated (yes, I did have to look up that word) by the strange story of Arizona Governor Jan Brewer’s ongoing bitchfest with the Leader of the Free World. Or as…
