Alabama has made the right decision by sharply curtailing the categories of crime that disqualify voting rights. Roy Moore has aptly illustrated the reality that the highly subjective so-called “moral turpitude” is in fact a vestige of segregationism. Roy Moore’s attempt to denigrate the Jones campaign for registering legal voters, is reprehensible and yet another act of contempt – by the hanging judge.

Nothing has changed. Selfish, greedy, miopic, children have taken over a new playground because their selfish, greedy, miopic and decadent parents don’t mind flushing down the toilet bowl all that blood and sacrifice that gave them liberty, freedom, privacy, and the other constitutional rights that made it all possible.

In Huntsville, the Lee High School Bus Massacre that happened on November 20, 2006 is exactly the type of “911” domestic terrorism event that is accepted as an “accident” because of the cultism involved. Never-the-less, this type of event cultivates acceptance of the government radicalization that we are now seeing. ALL domestic terrorism events must be recognized for what they are and investigated by Homeland Security in order to end the bloody crusades that underlie the events.

    When it dawned on me after a little while – it has been 18 years after all – that I not only have photos of John Glenn, but had also published the the two columns, I had to go looking in the off-line archives to find the material since I have’t yet reposted those articles which appeared essentially during the first year of publication when TOCC TV was still called Casey’s Chronicle.

    Today, when you go to the store to buy your goods and services, you will be met with an additional one percent sales tax. Last fall, right before Christmas, when no one was paying attention, the Huntsville City Council unanimously passed the sales tax increase – and today is your lucky day!

    I know, sounds kinda political. Just couldn’t resist. Because, “I’m Bluebird on a telegraph line…” Instead, here’s a break from the annals of humdrum conventions and a little reverie from the entertainment world. Pop super star Elton John is making a rare appearance in Huntsville tomorrow, which prompted me to dig a couple of original […]

    A few weeks ago I published a column discussing the apocalyptic advance of all things digital. The column highlights the recent decision by the Huntsville Times to follow a three day hardcopy publishing schedule beginning sometime this fall. In the column I chastise The Huntsville Times and Al.com for being impetuous in their publishing decisions: […]

    This home in an East Huntsville neighborhood met with disaster as a large tree fell squarely onto the house, and in my estimation, leaving it a total loss.

    I am a native of Alabama, and so I fully understand some of the undertow of animosity and consternation that decent people in the South sometimes feel about a past that we did not participate in and had nothing to do with.

It’s obtuse.
