Mobile (AL) press Register

Well, us pore ol' folks in benighted Alabama are about to have a full-blown, certifiable nut case for chief justice of the state supreme court.
Unfortunately, the Dem running against him is about as nutty.
"Harry Lyon is the classic "perennial candidate," one with a colorful biography that includes run-ins with various neighbors and law-enforcement types and several public utterances that might cause one to suspect he's a bit daffy."

Someone needs to test this poor man for Alzheimer's. That is some seriously disordered thinking.

Some of us find ourselves living in the bat-shit crazy that the is the south and leave. I feel for you, I really do, but you must know that it isn't going to change in your lifetime, if ever. So why stay?
Trust me, the list of places better than Alabama is much longer than the list of places worse.

Plus I was born and raised here.
I love the place, just not the current political climate.
There's more to life than politics.
