By, “Ol’ ‘Bama”, I think qazwart was referring to the state of Alabama. Of course, that also has little to do with the news item, other than being adjacent to Mississippi, but I didn’t read that comment as being about the president at all.
Interestingly, here in Flo’dah there have been laws on the books for years regulating what sizes of beer bottles will be permitted. The idea was to favor those brewers with standard-size bottles and exclude those with funny-size bottles (possibly metric bottles?). That kind of regulation of consumer sizes was apparently OK because, well, “`Merica!”
(and yes, “Ol’Bama” refers to Alabama, where folks wake up every morning and say “Thank God for Mississippi!” The joke in Florida is that when Mercedes-Benz announced they would build an assembly plant in Huntsville that it was because of the ample supply of crash-test dummies)
And don’t you ever say that Ol’ ‘Bama doesn’t do nothing for its poor folks!
What would poor folks want anyway? Good schools, social services, or the right to buy a Big Gulp?
Wow – Obama had nothing to do with the story. Honey Boo Boo is that you? Want some psgetti?
