I guess we'll have to isolate the Handmaidens. There seem to be quite a few in Alabama. A state so backwards they really haven't seemed to become aware of the last 50 years pretty much.

It's the twin of Mississippi, where prisons are built for future convicted criminals. Both states are third world countries.

And Tennessee and Louisiana. Louisiana now has an aggressive Ken Paxton/Abbott/MAGA governor who is all hell bent on withholding infrastructure work from New Orleans until they start prosecuting women who have abortions and more. New Orleans might disappoint him. Nobody has ever been able to tame us or bring us under their jackbooted heel. We'll see. He wanted to change our voting so that you couldn't vote for anyone you wanted to and some other ugly stuff. He lost on that one but he is dogged. I dread him. I sure hope he overdoes it but it is Louisiana and New Orleans is a small part of it.

A small part, but how much of the tourism revenue?

Virtually all of it and the tourists are back with a vengeance.

Alabama is a backward place alright, the people there in their wisdom gave us Sessions and tubberville, 2 of the most loathsome people to have been in the senate, this decision by their SC fits nicely with all of the rest.

Of course, he was awful in his own unique way, I must have blocked his name, the other two have been more effective in the senate and not in a good way.

To most of the people who luve in Alabama the Pettis Bridge tragedy was just one or two bad apples in the barrel of cops doing their best to maintain irder.
