Alabama’s Signature Drink?
Down in Alabama, calling your politician a “boozer” may not be slander. Actually, it could be a point of fact, if a bespeckled gentleman named Young Boozer wins the State Treasurer election in June.
This man is no lush (at least, not famous for it). In fact, he was an award-winning eagle scout, according to his bio.
A newcomer to elected office, could this name uniqueness (and his own $400,000) trump the name recognition of his Republic primary opponent George Wallace Jr.?
As someone who once ran for a student council office and put a drink carton on her flyers, I must applaud his campaign video slogan “Funny Name, Serious Leadership.” Here is Young Boozer III’s video for your edutainment.
I’ll leave the real puns to the news media’s coverage of this (perhaps the most novel attention a state treasurer race earns in a long time).

If only more people could hear this.
