Top Ten Christmas Wishes in Alabama Politics
10. State Sen. Zeb Little hopes Santa Claus can get him a refund for all those "Sheila Kretzschmar for State House District 12" signs stacked up in his garage.
9. Gov. Bob Riley wants a longer coat. You know, one with tails.
8. Former Judge Herman Thomas has been bad this year, so all he gets is a paddle. Which actually kinda works out okay.
7. State Rep. Mickey Hammon wants Santa Claus to do his job and go back home.
6. Sen. Hinton Mitchem would like just one more teensy-weensy vote for his caucus.
5. Ron Sparks hopes Hillary will hire a male secretary - of Agriculture.
4. Sen. Scott Beason wants some evidence that Santa speaks English before he drives that sleigh around here.
3. State Finance Director (and Supreme Court hopeful) Jim Main hopes Santa can bring him a resume' that somehow, somehow, doesn’t have Beasley/Allen on it.
2. Partisans wish Peace On Earth, Goodwill to Men, except to those #%&&!!!s on the other side.
1. The state Senate wants a ban on Pac-to-Pac transfers. No, really, we mean it this time, Santa. Seriously. Santa?! Please! Wait! Listen! SANTA!

I heard that Dr. Paul Hubbert was crooning a new version of the Christmas Classic “I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas” . . . .only in Paul’s version, the song is “I Want a Bunch of RINOS for Christmas” . . . .
The catchy song goes something like this:
“I want a bunch of RINOS for Christmas
No real GOP types will do
Don’t want a Scott Beason, No right-wing Harri Anne
I want a bunch of turncoats
Who will vote with you-know-who!”

A Vivian Figures Christmas
“I’m dreaming of a U.S. Senate Christmas,
Not like those ‘Bama ones I know,
Where the offices glisten,
and constituents listen,
yes I want to be in the know
I’m dreaming of a U.S. Senate Christmas,
With every suckerpunch that’s thrown,
Maybe victory will be in sight,
though my Senate Christmas will be 98% white”
