Tonight at closing time, I’m gonna put up a post about the election results as they happen for you to cheer or moan. I wonder how much Russian hacking will be involved.
Meanwhile, Deb sent the weirdest story from the Moore side. You will enjoy this. It seems that Roy Moore “accidentally” went to a bawdy house with children for hire. It was a total accident. No, I am not kidding.
Welcome to The World's Most Dangerous Beauty Salon, Inc.
My name is Susan DuQuesnay Bankston. I live in Richmond, Texas, in the heart of Tom DeLay's old district. It's nuttier than squirrel poop here.
I am honored and privileged to know Miss Juanita Jean Herownself, hairdresser extraordinary and political maven. Since she does not have time to fiddle with this internet stuff, I type her website for her and you can read it if you want to. If you don't, she truly does not give a big bear's butt.
A lot of what I post here has to do with local politics, but you probably have the same folks in your local government.
This ain't a blog. Blogs are way too trendy for me. This is a professional political organization.
I think there should be warning signs when driving through Alabama to hide your little girls.
1This reminds me of an old joke told in some ministerial (liberal, yes there are some) circles. It involves a hell-fire-and-brimstone preacher exhorting his congregation to right there in the moment confess their sins. One man stands up and confesses that he stopped on the way home from work and spent all his paycheck on liquor and his wife and little children went hungry. The preacher says “Thank you Brother, don’t you feel better now? God will forgive you for this.” Another man confesses to gambling away his paycheck. Same response from the preacher. It goes on with several more confessing various and sundry sins. (I noted there were always men confessing, no women, but I digress.) Then one man stands up and says “Preacher, I confess to having sex with a goat.” There is a long silence before the preacher says “Damn Son, I don’t believe I’d a told that.”
Yep, this is one of those “Damn Son, I don’t believe I’d a told that” moments.
2Most likely Moore didn’t leave because the girls were too young. He left because they weren’t virgins.
3Questions to be asked in this, or any, election:
4Are all eligible voters who wish to vote allowed to vote?
Are the ballots counted correctly with no bias by officials or machine tampering?
Is there a verifiable backup system in place in case a recount is needed?
Well, that was . . . interesting. I agree with RA.
5Nobody would like to see Roy Moore caught with his pants down (again) more than me but I don’t see how this story settles things either for or against him.
If you take the story at face value it is plausible that they didn’t know the place they were going to was a brothel. It has never happened to me but I have talked to people traveling to foreign countries on business where something very similar happened. And like the idealized Moore in the story the guys I knew sensibly exited the situation rather than indulge in sex-worker services.
To me the real issue is a) believing the story as told is true, and b) why Moore and buddies believe this actually has anything good to say about themselves. As if declining to catch an STD in a child-sex shop demonstrates some laudable virtue. They actually believe this story says that they did something amazing.
I have written this before but I am still disappointed that this race is turning mostly on whether you believe Moore is a sex villain or not. Take away that and what do you have? A despicable, retrograde sexist, racist, ignorant, lawless slacker whose one apparent talent is to say things that scions of Old Dixie like to hear. The real scandal is that there still enough of those in Alabama to elect them.
6I understood the story to mean that Roy Moore was so accustomed to sex with minors for free, at the mall, he was disgusted at the prospect of having to pay for it.
7A Vietnam era officer that admits fondly that he slept on sandbags so his enlisteds couldnt frag him while he slept knows exactly who he is. And that admission should tell everyone else exactly what they need to know about him.
81. I don’t believe that story.
92. I am sure they didn’t just happen upon the “house” just wandering around. If you have been under fire for some time and have finally been given R&R, ten to one you have heard of places to go.
3. He left because I bet my sox that he spotted a superior officer on the premises.
Roy would never visit a whore house and contract some SDT. That is why he groomed young, virginal teens.
10Just a question. Who thought this was a good idea to even bring something like this up as the ending message of his campaign?
11I agree Jack, why mention this at all…just comes across as creepy.

13From the stories I’ve seen on Twitter of people held up by cops, leaving because of long lines and few poll workers and of course the refusal to keep digital voting records after the polls close…I think the answers are likely no, no and no.
Lazrgrl, Yep I saw the story about long lines due to limited available machines. Deplorable and not surprising. Why this happens in the world’s greatest democracy should convince us it’s not. And those of us in states that have free and fair elections due to mail in voting are po’ed. Because we’re at the mercy of states where voting is rigged. Gave us DJT for starters. I did see that the ALCU is telling people to contact them for irregularities. I hope the press and AL Dems are all over this.
14Former basketball player Charles Barkley is an Aladamnbama native and still registered to vote there. He spoke at a political rally yesterday, urging people to vote for Jones. He begged them to not humiliate the state further, but to make them proud.
15Hope the election returns aren’t a horror story.
16Otherwise, I may feel tempted to make holiday cards to the folks in Alabama. Maybe “Sleason’s Greetings”
