Alabama Bound

Ladies and gentlemen, the next senator from Alabama:

Jeff Sessions won't be returning to his old job. Sessions was defeated by Republican opponent Tommy Tuberville, Auburn University's former head football coach, in their Alabama Senate primary runoff Tuesday night. He now takes on Democratic incumbent Sen. Doug Jones in November. Sessions was trailing Tuberville in the polls, despite outspending his rival in their prolonged race for the nomination. He also increasingly attacked Tuberville for his inexperience and not agreeing to a debate, especially after Tuberville edged him out in their March 3 primary.

How big a deal is it that Tuberville coached Auburn? Let's put it this way. The Southern schools only desegregated when integrated northern schools started whooping their butts. Losing to a bunch of Yankees, why I never...The only way of life that really matters down their is college football.

It was tempting to stick with the easy, reliable choice, but no. We've seen that movie before and it doesn't end well. Time to move on from Jeff Sessions.

Various and Varied

Our Super Tuesday rap will be up today at Inforos.

Alabama will have a runoff between Sessions and Tuberville. We're having second thoughts about the coach. Lord knows what skeletons await in his coaching closet. Recruiting shenanigans, pulling strings for grades, getting criminal charges dismissed, etc etc. Foreign readers, college football is an utter cesspit where students major in 'football' and 'graduate' not being able to read. Even 'clean' programs like Penn State have....well...you can just look that up.

Wrote a couple of intro scenes in The Final Storm. Meetings, bloody meetings. You people say you like this stuff.

This is not a dream journal, but last night we fell asleep, rolled over onto our face, and had a nightmare. We've had these weird dreams of late where we are able to take control of things and confront the nightmare head on, usually through physical violence. Huh.
