Nonpartisan municipal elections have become partisan

The Clarke County Democrat Podcast ·

2025/10/29

Political pundits and observers and political players have espoused the long- held belief in the mantra “all politics is local.” I have changed my tune on this well- known adage and belief. My observation is that today it is the opposite, “all politics is national.” Folks either vote straight Republican or straight Democratic. Most, about 90%, of all white Alabamians vote straight Republican, they may not pull the straight Republican lever, but they only mark Republican names. They would come...

2025/10/29

I went some places today, and in both places, there were people talking about the government. Not about the shutdown which is what you would expect they would be yammering about. No, what they were talking about was Big Pharma’s hold on the government. This was two different groups of people, but the subject was the same. It was about vaccinations and how nobody trusts them to help us. One subject was about how we are vaccinating our children and they seem to be having adverse reactions to th...

The Clarke County Democrat Podcast ·

2025/10/29

Superstitions are something we all grew up with to some degree, especially in the South. Superstitions are part folk tale, part oral history and a part of each of our day to day lives. The little superstitions the majority of us participate in are almost out of habit because we were told to do them and we still do them without even thinking about why. A close family friend, Katie, always warned me that should I continue to leave my purse sitting on the floor I would “always be broke,” and if ...

2025/10/22

Peggy and I first came to Thomasville with our children Cheryl and Chris in 1972. Julie was born here in 1973. We did not know a soul but Thomasville soon became home to us because we found that we had moved to the friendliest place in Alabama. We were soon immersed in the community through our work at the Adjustment Center on Bashi Road, the children and staff of the Thomasville City School System and the members of the Thomasville Baptist Church where we worshipped. The core and the heart o...

TUSCALOOSA — The surgeon general has determined that smoking cigars is bad for your health but perhaps the surgeon general doesn’t know how taking a puff benefits the winner of the Alabama Tennessee game. The pungent odor of cigar smoke began to waft through Saban Field at Bryant-Denny Stadium early in the fourth quarter Saturday night and by the time the No. 6-ranked Crimson Tide had formally dispatched the No. 11 Volunteers 37-20, it hung in the air like smog in Los Angeles.
