Alabama.

The south’s Wisconsin.

Alabama has a special election coming up in a few days to replace Jeff Sessions, whom is serving as either Attorney General, as Santa’s lead elf or both. All depends on whether or not he can recall wrapping Stewie’s trike in the proper color wrap.

Anyway, the replacement to fill the vacant Senate seat left by sessions comes down to Doug Jones and the remarks of this guy:

You heard that right: a candidate whose party was THE ORIGINAL advocates for the removal of slavery said that “America was great ‘during slavery.’” Roy Moore, former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Alabama and possible member of the Catholic Clergy, remembered the time when slavery was good for America during a rally he held in Florence.

His reasoning for this was because “families were stronger”, “they cared for one another”, and “our country had a direction”.

Yeah, they cared for each other. Tell that to the slaves, most of whom were ‘considered family’ by their slaveowners, who got more use of the whip than did the slave owners’ wives. No wonder the children back then hardly ever got sleep; they were likely confused on whether or not a slave broke a piece of cotton or the “slave” ‘broke the headboard.’

Anyways, this is not the first of Moore’s controversial statements. At that exact same rally, Moore had referred to Native Americans and Asian Americans as “Reds and Yellows”, respectively. Did he, as a child, get taught that Red and Yellow colors in the Crayola coloring box had misprints, and should have been labeled “Native American” and “Yellow”? I don’t know, I’m speculating! He is also famous for defending the Ten Commandments in a 2003 press conference.

The most telling of Moore’s previous comments came from a speech he gave at an event the Open Door Baptist Church:

Aside from the blatant disregard for the fact that religion and government SHOULD NOT MIX, he seems to imply that the attacks on September 11, 2001 were attributed directly to the fact that “kids disobey the law of the Lord.” I’m frequently sure the kids disobey the law of the Lord every night. What, you assume I meant masturbation? No, I meant sneaking off to play Call of Duty late at night on school nights. GET YOUR MIND OUT OF THE GUTTER, YOU PERVERTS.

If elected, Roy Moore will likely be swept up in the last round of perverts in the next round of what we like to call, “#Pervgate2k17”.

We can only hope that the orangutan-in-office is swept up with him.

Moving on to…

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
