    It's taking off. Now it says: $623 of $300.0M

    Since Garamet posted on it, somebody kicked in $25.

    I enjoyed my two or three years stationed there. Except for all the armadillos!

    They should do the responsible thing and roll back their tax cuts for the wealthy.

    Those armadillos are a god damned plague. At least when you hit most small vermin they just make a thump, but armadillos can do some damage.

    The only wealthy people in AL are the ones who deal in college football, and you do not want to touch college football owners in AL. They will fucking kill you for damaging their teams. Of course, if you actually gave the state who makes the venues for the football teams the revenue from them you would make more than three hundred million in one year easy.

    What's more worrisome is:

    $5 Farzad Dehmamy

    Regards from Iran.    ​

    The Iranians know that state and local legislatures passed bills prohibiting trade with entities that do business with Iran, which Obama is legally powerless to undo, so this is an obvious attempt by Iran to buy influence to change those policies and allow them to build nuclear weapons to wipe Israel and Europe off the map. At this point I would consider Alabama compromised.
