If you live in Alabama’s third congressional district, I highly suggest you vote for Josh Segall. He’s running against Mike Rogers, one of the the most conservative congressmen Alabama has ever had. You may think that’s a good thing, but it’s not when you realize Rogers has simply voted what his party asked him to regardless of the effects on his own district. For example, Rogers voted for CAFTA, which cost the third district thousands of manufacturing jobs. Rogers has supported tax breaks for big oil companies, and refused to vote for the new GI Bill and veterans’ healthcare funding. So far the only criticism Rogers has dredged up against Segall has been a false allegation that Segall’s money is coming from “Hollywood” rather than from Alabama voters.
If you want to learn more about Segall and his policies, The Opelika-Auburn News has just run a three-part series based on interviews with the candidate. Check it out.

It’s hard not to blog when Palin is providing so much amusement. I’ve been chuckling all day!
The family is fine–thanks. Luckily the baby is sleeping and nursing well so we’ve been getting some good sleep. Also, mother-in-laws rock. Especially the kind who stay at your house for a week and help with the baby.

segall…hell yeah! Now that’s someone who could take on Schwarzenegger! Does he still wear that ridiculous ponytail though? Maybe he could get Chuck Norris to run for Lt. Gov.
Congrats again on the babe. I personally am very glad it wasn’t a chicken. Still, looking back at those sonogram pictures, I would check the bassinet for the occasional egg, just in case.

Daniel this is actually Bobby Segall’s son who’s running. Bobby wears the ponytail and the Sam Elliot handlebar mustache still. And is probably one of the best lawyers in the state. His son is also a lawyer but wears hair like yours. Well, except there’s more of it.
Thanks–the babe is rockin. He’s not a chicken, but more like a…beaner. He’s left a couple of eggs in the bassinet though–they were gross.
