BAM COMES FROM BAMA



If you are wondering what the red x is, it's actually the state flag of Alabama. In fact, Alabama made me not so upset to be awakened in the wee morning hours by our dog Romeo wanting to go out.  You've got to understand I had fallen asleep really early and I had no clue what had happened with the controversial senatorial race in Alabama between

Republican Roy Moore (L)  vs Democrat Doug Jones(R) election in Alabama.


 An alleged pedophile Mr. Moore had his party's allegiance despite numerous accusations. And even if we have a judicial system that states innocent until proven guilty, voters we hoped surely would know this is not OK. Yet, each day as we neared voter Tuesday more and more elected Republican party officials were declaring their support for Moore. 

A low percentage of voters were expected at the polls.  The outcome looked bleak and as you well know from many of my posts my faith in humanity has been less than stellar.

But as I scanned the newspaper releases people did come to the polls and despite Moore not wanting to concede at 10:30 last night every with a 20,000 vote difference, Alabama showed the nation that Moore is not who they want to represent them in the U.S. Senate. Moore indicated a recall would be necessary due to recount write-in votes .

Well Alabama showed up at the polls and told  Bannon supported Moore neither party wants him. Bow out and see the writing on the wall.

Meanwhile newly elected Senator Doug Jones stated his campaign was run with "dignity and respect. " My wish is that the Democratic party get to work serving 'all' of society.

Congratulations Alabama for doing what needed to be done!
