    They wouldn’t even let Duke call his boss! ABC sets up an undercover underage test in a store, 60 year old clerk does everything right (confiscates the ID), wants to call his boss to make sure of what he is supposed to do with the ID next, and gets thrown to the ground by three ABI agents for trying to make a phone call.

    Alvin, I’m with you on this one. This is ridiculous.

    Opelika-Auburn News – Councilman removes Confederate flags from graves

    ok..i’ve seen some head stones with the cofederate battle flag engraved on em…is this jerk gonna take a chisel and chisel those off next?? somebody need to take this clown out behind the outhouse…just when you think you’ve heard it all..

    “Legislators representing Autauga and Elmore counties have introduced bills that would allow voters to decide whether to ban electronic bingo machines in those counties, EXCEPT at an INDIAN RESERVATION in Elmore County.”

    create a monopoly, anyone?? speak up.. i can’t hear youuuuuuuu…

  • Lyn Johnson

    I’m really glad our legislators took time to congratulate Miss California. This action certainly has priority over all other matters before this group. Does Jay Love think sponsoring this type of feel good legislation will help him beat Bobby Bright?

  • CC Dollar

    like i really need an amendment by j love to tell me miss california is right in her belief…wonder how many brownie points jay thinks he gets for this?? zip from me..

  • dylan

    i’m sure jay cares about whether or not he gets your brownie points cc.

  • William

    Doubt that Jay did it for brownie points – call me Polyanna but maybe he actually believed that was the right thing to do!

  • BREAKING NEWS!

    The despicable Lowell Barron still hates Gerald Dial

    oh… and Harri Anne Smith hates him, too

  • CC Dollar

    yeah..sounds like Harri Anne has a pretty good reason to hate him….I commend her for standing up and warning everyone…I would have done the same thing..

I remember meeting Hinton for the first time while I was a student at Auburn University. He served the people of his [...]

HAPPY FEBRUARY

Under the “B” … June 1 

                 I’ve tried to follow BINGO rules and BINGO raids.  I’m not sure I understand the law, nor do I get the motives of many of the principal players.  I bet many of you know a heck of a lot more about this than I.  But one thing I am [...]
