Alabama Businessman Is The Thomas Paine Of Yahoo Ideas

Alabama Republican gubernatorial candidate Tim James set himself a pretty high bar when he released his previous campaign ad “We ain’t gonna be speakin’ no Mexican round here, y’all get me?” This spot about registered sex offenders-whom James rightly points out are coddled by the government, what with its concerns for their comfort and convenience-does not quite exceed “This is Alabama, don’t spout none of that ching-chong nonsense at me, Fu Manchu,” but it is certainly a worthy attempt. It’s almost like performance art. [Via]
