2014

Hold on to your lady parts, because Alabama House Speaker Mike Hubbard and his minions think they're better qualified than you — or your doctor — to determine what happens to them. Four bills passed the Alabama House yesterday, as a group of Knights of Columbus men in full regalia cheered the state's latest assault on women's reproductive rights and, by extension, the state budget.

At one point, it seemed that Alabama Democrats wouldn't have a viable candidate to field in that state's gubernatorial race. Now, three have joined the primary – two with the actual charisma and experience to give Republicans pause.
