New little tune....
The Ballad of Chief Justice Roy Moore
(sung to the tune of �The Ballad of Jed Clampett� and with apologies to Flatt and Scruggs) Brannon P. Denning Come �n listen to my story �bout a judge named Moore Had a rock so big could barely fit it through th� door Had it installed in the middle of the night Swore he�d never move it, not without a fight Rock that is! Ten Commandments! Word of God! Well the first thing you know there�s trouble in the air Federal courts say, �Roy, move it out of there!� Said �Yonder in your office is the place it ought to be!� That brought out all the faithful down to Montgomery Alan Keyes that is! Jerry Falwell! Operation Rescue! Judge Roy Moore said his rock was stayin� put Said Judge Thompson could come and kiss his foot Then Roy�s eight colleagues hollered �Not so very fast!� and Signed their own court order to save the state some cash Fines that is! Injunctive relief! Contempt of court! Well now it�s time to say goodbye to Moore�s big work of art But you�d better be believin� this�ll only be a start You�re all invited back real soon down to Montgomery To have a heapin� helping of his demagoguery 2006 Y�all! Moore for Governor! Send contributions! He�ll be back y�all, hear! Brannon P. Denning is Associate Professor of Law at the Cumberland School of Law, Samford University, which is located in Birmingham, Alabama. |

As an Alabama attorney, that is indeed the funniest thing I've seen in the longest time to come out of Alabama. Thanks. I'm going to have to find this law professor and buy him a beer!!
