Last year was the site’s first year, and that meant I was still getting to know all the rhythms that came in the yearly news cycle. I launched it in early February (the DAY after the Superbowl, a time when men can think for about six months), I enjoyed a wave of events in the…

So here lately we’ve seen more and more cable networks try to get into the business of rural programming, or, if you’re feeling snarky, red state programming. Both The History Channel (which produced H&M…not the clothing brand) and A&E (the new series Longmire’s network) are no strangers to rural programming. Whatever actual “History” the History…

If that title wasn’t straightforward enough, let me confirm that, yes, I did just get back from a recent two week trip to China (specifically, Shanghai and then a shorter time in Hong Kong). The next two weeks of the blog will be a deviation from the articles that usually run as I hope to…

So Earth Day was this past Sunday and it really got me thinking about all of the environmental issues most people ignore on a daily basis (climate crisis, ground soil pollution, and over population to name but a few). But what about the issue that even some environmentalists aren’t that crazy about sermonizing on? You…

Last week brought the news that Keith Olbermann had lost another job. The same man who has been either fired or quit from Sportscenter, CNN, and MSNBC (twice), has now been flat-out canned from Current TV. “What the hell is Current TV?” Some of you might ask. Well, 1. It’s the TV network that Al…

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…
