Political TV ads in Alabama are serious business this year. Below, I've linked to three of note. The first is Tim James' ad demanding that all drivers license exams be administered in English. The second is an attack ad on James' competitor, accusing him of believing in evolution. And the third is the gone-viral ad of a gun totin' candidate for agriculture commissioner who blames thugs and criminals for hiding agriculture money. Worth 90 seconds of your time!
Still a wheel in the ditch and a wheel on the track.
Don't miss this send-up of the English-only ad (H/T JF): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qe-W4K6JVAw
Thanks KN, that send-up was utterly hilarious! It almost dissipated my sense of doom.
What Century do these people live in?
Dear SWEET God…
"We're in Alabama…we speak English"
LOL – I'd dispute that after a conversation with a significant number of Alabamans.
As for the "in favour of teaching evolution in schools"…
It amazes me that "the most powerful country in the world" can still allow such superstitious nonsense as the story of creation to be taught as FACT in schools. If ANYTHING is an abomination before God, THAT IS!
Words fail me.
This was really interesting and inspired a post on my own blog: http://philosophyinpubliclife.blogspot.com/2010/05/is-it-just-makes-sense-evidence-for.html
Thanks for it…
All things will come round to anyone who will but wait. We should have the patience to await, then success will not far away from us.
Political Candidates and their spot-makers need to study the reels and see that there is more to effective advertising than the “walking and talking” that typifies too many political ads today.

The business loans are very useful for people, which want to organize their own organization. As a fact, that is very comfortable to get a secured loan.
