The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Remember Doug Jones, the guy who defeated that creep Roy Moore in Alabama?

So, then Doug Jones, the good guy, the smart guy, loses to Tommy Tuberville, a certifiable idiot.

Just a reminder, here are some of Tuberville's statements:

THREE BRANCHES OF GOVERNMENT:
Our government wasn’t set up for one group to have all three branches of government.... You know, the House, the Senate, and the executive.

WORLD WAR TWO
My dad fought 76 years ago in Europe to free Europe of socialism.

THE 2000 ELECTION: BUSH v GORE
In 2000 Al Gore was president, United States, president-elect, for 30 days.

CLIMATE CHANGE
There’s one person that changes the climate in this country and that’s God.

HEROIN EPIDEMIC
It’s not just opioids now, it’s heroin

EDUCATION
We’ve taken God out of the schools and we’ve replaced the schools with metal detectors.

VOTING RIGHTS ACT
It’s, you know ? there’s a lot of different things you can look at it as, you know, who’s it going to help? What direction do we need to go with it? I think it’s important that everything we do we keep secure. We keep an eye on it. It’s run by our government. And it’s run to the, to the point that we, it’s got structure to it. It’s like education.


No wonder Alabamians chose Tubs over Doug Jones, who successfully prosecuted the Birmingham church bombers.

And Tuberville is just one example of the morons who now populate the once Grand Old Party. WTF?
