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…
Auburn, Alabama University, and NY Giants…What Do These Winning Teams Have in Common? Me
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…
Red State Vs. Blue State: Lauren and I Debate Today’s Oscar Nominations
Today I’m joined by occasional culture debater (and previous reality TV fan) Lauren to bitch like an old married couple about today’s Oscar nominations. This is a different kind-of debate than usual as Lauren and I actually agree about most politics and this is purely about entertainment. Just as I don’t quite get reality TV…
Down & Out in Bumblefuck: Down & Out Over the Retirement of Gabrielle Giffords
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…
Red State Vs. Blue State: Brody Vs. a Ron Paul Supporter, Part Two
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…
Down and Out in Bumblefuck: With Huntsman Out, What Are the Rest Waiting On?
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…
Red State Vs. Blue State: Brody Vs. a Ron Paul Supporter, Part One
Today, I resurrect this often neglected debate segment. [It is definitely harder to find people to debate me than it is for me to find movies to review, which is why this is stretched into two parts.] But the site has found someone always up for a good debate: a Ron Paul supporter. I’ve had…
Alabama Football Wins Three Consecutive National Championships…But It Won’t Help the State
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…
Red State Vs. Blue State: Brody vs. Lauren
Today, we have a different kind of debate as it’s not red state vs. blue state so much as bad taste vs. good taste. I debate someone with equally liberal politics but horrible, horrible taste in shows (i.e. big reality TV fan). We talk about why someone would like these shows, and what horrified boyfriends…
Down & Out in Bumblefuck: What Does 9/11 Mean For Rural Alabama?
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,…
Red State Vs. Blue State: New York Conservative Vs. Alabama Liberal
The tables are flipped today. Instead of going after the usual targets of massively delusional rednecks, housewives, gun nuts, and other red state staples, I get to challenge a New York Republican. In all likelihood, he’s someone that should probably be liberal to properly into stereotypes, just as I should probably be conservative to fit…
