I’m wore out with Corona Virus and George Floyd preferring to spend my time waiting on phone dings from Amazon – but I need another big check!
The Huntsville City Council should call a special session – immediately – and lock themselves in until they decided where it will go.
Tommy Battle’s statements reek of segregation, classicism and aristocratic authoritarianism. The law enforcement statements were laced with the same old good old boy facade of shucks we did what had to be done.
Posted: 7:15 p.m. – These were the scenes in downtown Huntsville just a few minutes ago. The George Floyd protest organized by an Oakwood University student drew a large crowd, perhaps as many as 2000.
Protesters lingered in and around Big Spring Park on Saturday evening as summer music sponsored by Arts Huntsville filled the air and attracted large crowds – mostly not standing too close together.
Reliable sources continue to say a vaccine is more than a year away, and more herd inarculation this summer might help slow the virus.
Sure enough, at the head of the table, sat the unmistakable, flamboyant icon – with his “towering pompador.”
Alabama Governor Kay Ivey did a good thing by over reacting quickly and effectively to contain the Corona Virus. Lives have been spared in the State of Alabama. Thank God, we are not dropping like flies like New York. But, there’s such thing as too much for too long.
The shields are up in more ways than one because of COVID-19 as seen in these images captured this week. In the mean time Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey is slow footed while other state leaders call to move ahead with reopenings in the wake of President Trumps three step plan to get things going again.
The Orwellian, draconian, imposition of socialist big brother must not be provided an infrastructure to build upon.
Alabama Governor Kay Ivey late this afternoon issued a statewide “Stay at Home” order to be effective tomorrow, April 4, at five p.m. and to expire on April 30, at five p.m.
As the Corona Virus Virus continues to ravage our great nation people are hunkering down at home even where there is no official order and few cases of illness.

Barcelona's mayor doesn't want to tear down her city's monument to Christopher Columbus, but she does want a debate about Spain's colonial legacy. @JWilsonBCN http://apne.ws/X8ysrHM
Danish storyteller Hans Christian Andersen’s Little Mermaid, one of Copenhagen’s biggest tourist attractions, has been vandalized with the words “racist fish” scrawled on the big stone on which the statue sits. It has long been a target for vandals. http://apne.ws/Eb8lvdG

It's got to be 'chaise longue' (or is that 'chaise lounge'??).
There's just so much going on with this, from fancypants French to folk etymology to pronunciation. Lots of good reasons to look it up. #AskMW
The wool report is on hiatus for summer.

New from me: The U.S. Supreme Court's decision allows the state of Alabama to stop counties from setting up curbside voting for the July 14th runoff election, and restores absentee witness and ID requirements in 3 counties. https://bit.ly/2NQeDoT #alpolitics

@JudyWoodruff @WmBrangham My high school didn't have room for 3000 srudents, faculty & staff to stand 6 feet apart. Opening schools will result In exponential spread. Convenience for the feminist mantra is obviously more important than flattening the curve. And you want me to wear a mask...? Hoo. Ha.

HUNTSVILLE, Al - Madison Cnty is irresponsible to seek mask enforcement before the first or middle of Sept. Huntsville has no pandemic and masks will inflict further economic injury. IF there is a vaccine, it's too late for fall; if not, interrupting herd immunity is INSANE.
