1. The problem with teh stupid is they are so stupid they don't realize they're stupid...n/t

2. That's factually wrong. We have many lanoguages.

In point of fact, people have been speaking Spanish here for about a hundred years longer than they were speaking English. The oldest city in the USA is St. Augustine, FL.

5. French, too (in St. Augustine).

There was quite a bit of tug-of-war over the First City.

3. Lanaguages.... is their inability to spell a genetic thing?

4. I love Alabama

my son was born there,
We moved back to So Cal when he was 3 months old.
He just had his 29th b-day
- we celebrated at Jack Daniels Distillery in TN.

7. Well, Yes. Most of us several dialects and social registers of it.

Just as do most of the people of this country. Many can manage menu level Spanish and an exchange of pleasantries as well. Outside Mobile there is a group of self-identified "Alabama Cajuns" who speak their own language that is a mix of French, Spanish, and English.

Tim James is a "bidnessman." I think that means his father who owned a barbell making company once and set him up in a road paving company, and was a former governor who changed parties and is best remembered as the man who did an impression of either an orangutan or a chimp on the steps of the Old Statehouse as a mockery of "evilution." Little else is known of him. But one can be assured that he who is a graduate of one of the top boarding prep schools in the South can put on the Foghorn Leghorn and out-Reagan St. Ronald of Simi Valley when required, then out-Falwell Jerry when it is a necessity.

In other words, I reckon he is a plain ole' asshole who is fixing to try to get to be governor, it's right clear to me. He evidently wants the Most Serene Christian Republic of Alabamastan to say "with shrimp" instead of "con camarones" and "thank you" in place of "gracias." It is a hot button topic! There are no problems facing the state beyond the Mezcans.
