First, a tornado shreds up the state. Then, Rick Santorum comes. Coincidence? Anyway, today is the Alabama (and Mississippi) primary. Few people think it’s even remotely possible for Mitt Romney to win…and everyone knows it won’t matter. Romney will lose the South, but win the race. He now has a third of the delegates he…

First of all, a sincere congratulations to Octavia Spencer from The Help for winning the Best Supporting Actress Oscar that night. Her win was remarkable because 1. There have been less than a dozen African American females to win an Academy Award, 2. She’s one of the only Oscar winners from Alabama E-V-E-R and quite…

I know that was a loaded title but I’ll be talking about two main things in this article: the hypocrisy of people crying over Whitney Houston’s death AND then defending Chris Brown or outright celebrating him. And also why Brown is “Singled out” as he and his fans so often cry. Nothing was crazier to…

Once again, Alabama Liberal sets itself apart from most media as today I bring you no news of Whitney Houston and instead bring you actual news of events that will effect people. Yesterday, Washington became only the 7th state in the country to allow people of the same-sex to marry each other, and I’m sure…

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…

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…

It’s become a pretty weird irony that I might be the-least-interested-in-football-heterosexual man in America, and yet, everywhere I go, winning teams follow. First, my alma mater Auburn won the National College Championship last year (we’ll call it The Awesome Bowl since I really don’t know what it’s actually called) when I was in Alabama to…

Yesterday marked the announcement that Arizona congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords would step down as she attempts to recuperate from a horrendous assassination attempt that has left her mostly inactive but making great progress. Now many will say that of course this is a huge disappointment for me and my personal beliefs as 1. Giffords was one…

Today we conclude the epic–well, not really, but dramatic statements needs to get injected into this rather dry debate–face-off of me and one of Ron Paul’s followers of “Radical Individual Libertarianism” who pat themselves on the back for being such free thinkers…who all more or less think the same. We join this debate from where…

As I pointed out on Sunday, former Utah Governor and sanest man in the room, Jon Huntsman bowed out of the Presidential race after deciding it was all but impossible for him to win the nomination. His decision surprised exactly no one (except those like myself who wonder why he even entered the race in…

So last night the University of Alabama (or “The Crimson Tide”) beat the shit out of LSU in an embarrassing national championship game where the final score was 21 to zero. That’s zero with a z. [Of course, for his part, LSU coach and professional sayer of stupid things said that LSU should receive the…

Over and over on the tenth anniversary of 9/11, we were told that it was a day that forever changed America. And that’s absolutely true, especially if you’re part of half the country that lives in a city. But what if you don’t live in L.A. or New York or Washington D.C. or even Tulsa,…

There’s not much you can say about the beating the stock market has been taking recently. Ever since the U.S. had its credit downgraded by Standard & Poors (that sterling agency that was so on top of it during the 2008 recession and has never been wrong before) there has been immense panic in the…
