Alabama State Funding Rap

As this article explains, we have a problem meeting budgetary demands in Alabama.  Basically, there are three sides: Raise taxes to meet the shortfall, lower taxes, or support gambling or a lottery.

Here's the three sides, presenting their arguments in the form of a rap.

Maybe we should hold a state funding bake sale instead.

Mountain Tom Clark

Florence, Alabama has an interesting sign to memorialize  a lynching of a notorious outlaw hanged in 1872, and buried in the middle of Tennessee Street.  Mountain Tom Clark, subject of much legend and historical fact was the person in question.  After the Civil War there was a lot of lawlessness and paying back of old scores, some not even war-related.  

Hopefully, this link will provide some background; perhaps more than you might want to plow through. 

Yvette the Stripping Nun

Performing nightly at Club Bunga Bunga:
Yvette ths Stripping Nun!

Watch Sister Yvette strip for your education and edification.  She will take off those nasty habits to Gregorian chants and swelling organ music right down to her Burning Bush.  And you old-timers will fully appreciate the mystery of the Resurrection when you see the one and only Sister Yvette perform!

Remember, she will hit you on the palm of your hand with a ruler if you fail to give her your undivided attention!

Being a Dick for Safe Sex

Some people in Norway found a different way to teach about safe sex.  How about a human in a penis costume that sprays confetti on amorous couples and others?

Seen in Colbert County

. . . . Seen in Colbert County.  Not my sentiments.

Maybe it's true about the Colbert/Florence rivalry.

Huntsville Flag

Recently Bilbo had an article on city flags and proper design characteristics for them. I got curious, and looked up what Huntsville, Alabama's city flag looked like.  It's bland; and I hope it doesn't meet the objections of overly sensitive WaPo columnists.
