"One crisp, sunny Saturday last fall, I found myself walking through the heart of downtown Montgomery, Alabama, heading toward the state Capitol. It was about a 10-minute walk, but I didn't encounter a single person. I could hear freight trains whizzing by the Alabama River, and did see evidence that a "You Know You're a Redneck When..." theme party was being planned for later that night. But without weekday office workers, there were no pedestrians and very little traffic of any kind. A technicolor replica of the 1950s gmc bus that Rosa Parks rode eerily circled the streets, which were otherwise as still as a diorama."

7. Ava lives in Alex City

I would love to see her produce a video on the Russell CEO. Maybe it would wake up some of those goobers in that part of the state. Maybe she could do one on Mike Rogers, the worthless POS repuke congressman from our district. When the Bush crime family leaves office and the war finally ends, there are plenty of subjects for exposure in our own back yard. Go get 'em Ava.
