This whole referandum that is going to be held Tuesday in Alabama is a croak of sh...well you know the rest. I swear this is why I HATE partisanship in Alabama because all it is about is a bunch of clusterfucking of both sides of the do-nothing cause. Note: Alabama's legislators really don't do anything when compared to their federal counterparts, and that let's you know who truly lazy Alabama's legislative branch is.
Now there is this fear-mongering campaign being led by a variety of special interests and the Alabama Republican Party establishment that wants to pass this so that the state can transfer $437 million from its rainy day fund to cover their asses literally and politically. Also it will cost Alabama $3 million additional dollars in funds to just hold this election. However, the some Alabama Democrats and even stranger bedfellows are against it. Their motives is to trying to make their Republican counterparts work. Also there are some Alabama Republicans that doesn't support this either, but that is another conversation.
The reality caveat is that when Alabama Democrats were in charge they didn't do anything. This is another 3-ring circus that the vast majority of Alabamians perpetuate upon themselves by not doing their homework when electing local representation in the Alabama Legislature.
Le sigh! I need to be truly done with this place...
The discussion of social issues and happenings across the South (sometimes the nation). Along with some rants about things such as the media (radio, TV, and internet), music, etc. from a socially progressive yet politically independent perspective.

The Suspiciously Quietness of the racially charged incident at the RNC event
The $10,000 question is what really happened when the 2 alternate delegates during the RNC convention on Tuesday pelted CNN camerawoman, Patricia Carroll, with nuts? The unusual silence of CNN and the expected covering of their assess for fear of negative publicity, RNC, seems extremely suspicious. CNN is as many know has been trying to live up to the faux "fair and balance" journalism role that I pointed out in the entry on US media outlets about 2 months ago.
Now after getting word from a specific commentor on the Washington Post columnist, Erik Wemple's blog how on Wednesday, the Alabama Republican Delegation head, Bill Armistead, was interview by Democracy Now's Amy Goodman. The commentor was pointing how he was acting as if he knew whom it was and what state exactly but didn't want to reveal the identity of the 2 individuals. Interestingly, now how they want to reach out to Ms. Carroll and apologize now. I guess to cover their asses if their names are ever revealed...Also something tells me it was 2 members of the Alabama delegation because they would be good for old fashion racial animus considering how it is so involved in ignorance running amok without anybody willing to check them on it. Hell, as I pointed out the Alabama Democratic Party isn't too much better because they placate ignoramuses to keep their rolls up on memberships, can you say Craig Ford from Gadsden?
This whole incident shows CNN needs to stop placating ignorance and expose it. Hell, the BBC is owned by the British government via being a public broadcasting entity yet they will call them out in a heartbeat. It just goes to show how scary and manipulated so easily for fear of reprisal by the GOP.
