Rocket City!

Huntsville took top “honors” in the poll in which one of the largest online pornography sites, PornHub.com, used data from a Gallup poll on U.S. cities that are “very religious” and compared it with the cities whose residents most often visit its site, according to the BuzzFeed.com.

The findings – based on most religious cities ranked by per capita visits to Pornhub between December 1, 2012 and April 30, 2013 – showed 55 percent of Huntsville residents are “very religious” and make 23.8 PornHub views per capita.

I take the 5th BECAUSE I am innocent….

Because your totally innocent of wrongdoing…

The most dramatic moment of the day came when Lois Lerner, a career government lawyer and longtime IRS official, appeared before the House committee.

“I have not done anything wrong,” Lerner said in an opening statement. “I have not broken any law. I have not violated any IRS rules and regulations, and I have not provided false information to this or any other congressional committee.”

She then informed the committee she was invoking her right to not answer questions.

“One of the basic functions of the Fifth Amendment is to protect innocent individuals,” Lerner said, repeating her innocence amid allegations from lawmakers that she misled Congress.

Just like all these guys

At a March 2005 hearing, St. Louis Cardinals slugger Mark McGwire pleaded the Fifth, avoiding questions related to his steroid use before he retired in 2001. McGwire later admitted to using performance-enhancing drugs in 2010.

[...]

Former Chief of BP’s corrosion unit, Richard Woollam, pleaded the Fifth during 2009 congressional hearings investigating the 2006 oil spills near Alaska.

[...]

Solyndra executives pleaded the fifth at a September 2011 House hearing investigating whether the company had misrepresented its finances in order to receive government loans.

[...]

The Chief of Criminal Division in the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Arizona invoked his Fifth Amendment rights against self-incrimination when testifying before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee in January 2012. Patrick J. Cunningham, who was subpoenaed by the committee, declined to testify about Operation Fast and Furious.

[...]

General Services Administration official Jeff Neely refused to answer questions at an April 2012 hearing investigating a 2010 conference which racked up a bill of $822,751 of taxpayer dollars for 300 employees.

Let Don Siegelman out? Do the feds need the space for the IRS and DOJ?

There is yet another call to free former Alabama governor Don Siegelman who is serving time in federal prison on a conviction for corruption. This time the whining is from Tennessee Democrat Congressman Steve Cohen.

Poor Don. He and his allies think that he was important enough to be on the radar screen of George W. Bush.

But the time may have finally come for Mr. Siegelman. In light of the growing IRS and DOJ scandals, maybe he and his pals can convince the president to do a draw down in federal prisons to make room for the next wave of crooks.

In the meantime, keep searching those campaign finance reports for evidence of innocence.

Scientists say that tornado could have been either 8 or 600 Hiroshimas…

Soooooo….

The five ranking, on the Enhanced Fujita Scale, puts the tornado in the same class as the deadliest in U.S. history, which hit Joplin, Mo., in 2011, killing 158 and injuring hundreds more.

Several meteorologists consulted by the Associated Press estimated the tornado’s energy released during the storm ranged from 8 times to more than 600 times the power of the Hiroshima bomb, with more experts at the high end. Their calculations were based on energy measured in the air and then multiplied over the size and duration of the storm.

So between 6 and 800 times… Nailed it.

Except for the deaths, radiation, immediate and long-term destruction it was way worse.

Democrat incumbents on the 2014 Madison County ballot

The only Democrat incumbents which could be on the 2014 primary and general election ballots for Madison County are,

 

Lynda Hall, Tax Collector

Fran Hamilton, Tax Assessor

Mark Craig, License Director

Laura Hall, State Representative, District 19

Mary Louise Stowe, County Board of Education, District 3

Of course, only the first three will be on all county ballots.

Without the built-in re-election advantage of probate judge and elections boss, I am thinking they may have a harder go of it than recently re-elected Tommy Ragland.

If they are interested in changing parties, they should contact the chairman of the Madison County Republican Executive Committee.

Coming soon … referendum to combine offices of Madison County tax collector and tax assessor

HB616, a local bill sponsored by Rep. Mike Ball, passed the legislature and so now the Madison County commission can call for a referendum on the issue of whether to combine the offices of tax collector and tax assessor in Madison County. How does a June 2014 vote sound?

The idea of combining the two offices is not new.

The incumbents are Lynda Hall and Fran Hamilton. Both are Democrats. And both offices will be on the 2014 ballot.

Fran is known for liking pricey cars.

Did you know that founding father Samuel Adams was a tax collector for the city of Boston?

You can see most of the offices and their incumbents scheduled to be on the 2014 ballot at the web page of the Madison County Probate Judge.
