After initially denying reports of an affair, Alabama Secretary of State John Merrill on Wednesday afternoon told AL.com that he had “an inappropriate relationship” with a 44-year-old woman and will not make an anticipated run for the U.S. Senate.

“I will obviously not be a candidate for the United States Senate nor will I be seeking any other elected position in 2022, because I think it’s important to me to make sure that I become the man that I have been before and that I am working to put myself in the position to be the leader that I have been before, as a husband, as a father, as a friend and as an elected official,” Merrill said.

Yeah, sure. Meanwhile, his unofficial sex buddy tells us he's into pegging, or when she can't get that from him, at least enjoys a finger up the derrière while she blows him.

It seems almost quaint that a politician resigns or doesn't run again, over an affair. This is especially true for one who runs under the Republican banner. Nowadays, many of them have absolutely no shame and would not resign. Heck some of them have done far, far worse than an affair, yet continue to run for office.

I guess family values still matter to Alabama.

Meh. Roy Moore squeaker. Alabama voted for serial rapist Donald J. Trump.

That just feels wrong to me, like a Mandela effect or something. I mean, 2017 is only 4 years ago. Doesn't it feel like Harvey Weinstein fell a decade ago?

Well, 2020 was a long darn year.

I think there's a stereotype about rednecks and their cousins relevant to family values, isn't there?

If your dating scene is limited to weddings, funerals, and family reunions - you might be a redneck.

I wasn't sure whether to put this in books or here (I decided here, obviously) but it really needs to be memorialised as what can only be described as a monumental clustefuck (I don't normally use bad language, but it's the only possible term) in the London media and publishing scene, epic even by Julie Burchill's standards.

It's come to something when there's a story about a row between Burchill and her publisher in which Burchill is the sane and decent one, and at this point the story becomes grotesque, with white nationalist publishers outed by rival white nationalists for publishing anthologies about mental health by Black poets and writers.

Inasmuch as she'd probably kick Greene's tuchus, or give it a good try, possibly.
Who is this Burchill woman? With friends like her,you don't need enemas. No thanks, lady, go appropriate someone else's culture. Or better yet, don't trample on anyone's.

Way back in the 80s and 90s her and my social circles sort of intersected (London edgy art and literary/intellectual scene). I always avoided parties if I knew she was going to be there.

She's always been an unpleasant fake and bully, to my mind.
