5:00 p.m. …Here we are America, another fucking debate. I know you are all staying home Friday night just to watch a New Hampshire debate in February. 5:05 p.m. …First question to Joe Biden about why he’s more electable than Bernie Sanders or Pete Buttigieg. I do believe he is, but Biden has to downplay…
RANKING Who Will Win the Oscars, and Who SHOULD Win
Who Will Win Best Actor… 5. Jonathan Pryce, “The Two Popes”…I’m sure he’s just thrilled to be nominated, and he should be considering this should’ve gone to Eddie Murphy, Adam Sandler, or Christian Bale 4. Antonio Banderas, “Pain and Glory”…This film has a lot of people who absolutely love it, but I’m not sure a…
Episode 55–Who Benefits from Iowa Clusterfuck: Trump, Russia, or Bloomberg?
After a look at the State of the Union (which was like “a fascist Wheel of Fortune”), AL discusses who benefits the most from the Iowa Clusterfuck.
Iowa Clusterfuck
“Iowa, you have shocked the nation.”–Pete Buttigieg Truer words were never spoken, although not for the reasons Buttigieg may have meant. Iowa once again unleashed an 18-layer clusterfuck cake in the results for their caucasian-caucus (CNN correspondents showed various caucus sites around the state, and I almost got snow-blindness from all the bland, pasty crowds)….
When Will George RR Martin Finish all “Game of Thrones” Books?
AL attempts to answer the biggest question in books: when will George RR Martin finish BOTH of the remaining “Game of Thrones” books? And he has a pretty troubling answer…
How is it Rigged Against Bernie when He Gets Special Treatment?
AL attempts to offer up the Big Question: how can Sanders’s fans say it’s rigged against Bernie when he’s getting unprecedented treatment while not being a Democrat? …And has there ever before been a case where someone refused to pay dues to an organization while demanding to lead it?
Ranking and Grading “The Good Place” Seasons
A quick, spoiler-free review about “The Good Place” series finale: it was nearly perfect. After a somewhat sluggish start to this season (probably too many episodes were devoted to the experiment), the last handful of episodes have been excellent, soulful, thought provoking, character-rich, heartbreaking, romantic, funny, moving, and true. Although the finale tricked us somewhat…
Unpopular Vote: There’s no conspiracy against Tulsi Gabbard but there is one FOR her
AL looks at Gabbard–a socially regressive, unpopular, relatively obscure congresswoman–and her suspiciously strong online support.
Episode 54–Centrists vs. Socialists vs. SJWs = Joe Biden, Invisible Frontrunner
Alabama Liberal explores the divisions within this year’s Democratic field, and how that has led to a frontrunner that is all but invisible to the media.
Episode 53–Proving Racism (a Private School Nightmare Story)
After taking a few minutes to link Trump’s impeachment demands with white entitlement gone mad, Alabama Liberal delivers the most personal podcast episode yet. By delving deep into a private school nightmare his son and family experienced and how little he could do about it–he proves just how hard it is to make a Civil…
Stop Saying Hillary Outspent Trump
This may not be the most relevant thing to talk about two weeks before the Iowa primary, but I just get so infuriated when people say “Well, Hillary raised more money than Trump—so money can’t buy victory.” I absolutely HATE when Republicans keep bringing up that Clinton raised more money than Trump, and I have…
Most (and Least) Anticipated Movies of 2020
Ten Movies I’m Not Looking Forward to Runner-Up: “Halloween Kills”…Although the 2018 “Halloween” was fine, there was something implied that it would be the end of the saga and that was most of the reason it worked…as an ending. Now there are at least two more “Halloweens” coming, and it’s beginning to feel like poor…
TV Shows I’m Looking Forward to in 2020
One show I’m not looking forward to: “American Crime Story: Impeachment” …I have no idea why Ryan Murphy decided to stop work on a Hurricane Katrina-themed season (which would’ve been excellent) to rehash a “scandal” that was already ridiculously overblown. The first two “Crime” stories centered around murders…this is about the world’s costliest blowjob, still…
