From throwing adulterers under the bus (Edwards, Spitzer, Clinton) to Bernie’s refusal to join the party to the shameful case of Obama refusing to pardon Don Siegelman–AL draws a common link between seemingly random instances: Democrats don’t show loyalty to each other. He also explains why red state Democrats feel so abandoned, many choose to…

Kim Jong-Un Will Be a Bad Influence on Trump
I’m less worried their planned meeting (which China seems hell-bent on preventing) will go sour as I am that Kim Jong Un may rub off on an impressionable Trump; who might take a liking to killing opponents, monopolizing media, hoarding the state treasury, and God-like status among citizens.
300 at 30: Episode 28–A Real Aversion
I explain the ONLY method to lose weight that’s ever worked: how to get you to HATE eating foods that are bad for you using some unique aversion therapy.
TV Reviews: Barry, Silicon Valley, The Terror
Three series premiered at the same time last night, two of them brand-new. And although you never can judge a series by its pilot alone, I already feel “The Terror” and “Barry” are worthy of watching for a full season… The Terror…An 1845 British expedition through the arctic, as two naval vessels attempt to find…
Why “Get Out” STILL Sucks–An Analysis
Like a drunk at the roulette wheel, Alabama Liberal takes one last spin to convince people “Get Out” actually sucks. What’s been mis-labeled an anti-racist or anti-Trump film is actually the most anti-interracial couple movie since “The Family that Preys Together.” I make the case that actual racists would love “Get Out” and take a stab…
The Pay Gap is Bad…For Men
In a seemingly controversial video, AL hopes people will hear him out in taking the macroeconomic view that The Pay Gap feeds into income inequality and less money in the overall economy. [Line: “If men were the only ones with money, the only companies that’d be in business would be Chili’s and Reebok stores.”] Plus,…
The Looming Impeachment: GOP Wants Democrats to Do it
AL explains why a Trump impeachment may FINALLY be here, and why the GOP wants Democrats to do it–and suffer the blowback.
What is Coastsplaining?
AL details his life-long struggle against Coastsplaining–and how most of the issues coastal liberals talk about (from immigration to abortion to guns to income inequality) actually affect “flyover country” more directly. Then, I propose that Trickle Down Economics got its earliest start in Plantation Economics.
Does Trump Like Being President?
Before he gets impeached, AL dives deep into a deceptively-simple question to wonder if Trumpland (where more than half the country hates you, and the other 40% loves you) isn’t really heaven for Donald–the most talked about man in the world.
What is Pretty Privilege?
AL wonders why we don’t hear more about pretty privilege, and wonders if it’s really worse to be desired by gross people than to be gross and undesired.
The Season Finales of “American Crime Story” and “X-Files” Play to Strengths and Weaknesses
Two very different series had their season finales last night (possibly series finale in “The X-Files” case), and even if both were inconsistent experiences, it was quite surprising which show ultimately had the stronger season… American Crime Story: The Assasination of Gianni Versace…There could’ve been no clearer example of this series strengths and weaknesses than…
How Social Media (and Reality Shows) Re-wired Millennials
I explain how reality shows and especially social media changed millennials, turning us into our own hype men/women and making us crave acceptance or fame by creating a version of high school that never really ends.
Millennials Don’t Suck (OR Why Millennials Aren’t Spoiled)
I explain why millennial-hatred is no different than how baby boomers were hated by the greatest generation, and how we might eventually hate the next generation’s habits. Then, I coin the phrase “The Degeneration Generation” to explain how millennials are actually less wealthy, less educated, underpaid, and not expected to live as long as their…
