“Roll Tide Roll” is a misplaced metaphor being bandied about in the National media, one day after Doug Jones’ stunning upset win over Roy Moore. Misplaced because the Roll Tide as in the Crimson Tide is not what led to Jones’ victory which seemed unlikely just a few days ago.

A Little Flirt Here, A Little Flirt There
A little flirt here, a little flirt there plus a couple of decades equals sexual battery. At least this is what the recent rash of “Me Too” moments from back in the day seem to add up to for those who dare to brave the backlash and do the arithmetic.
Actress Angela Lansbury at 92 years of age said as much in a radio interview which was broadcasted in November. According to USA Today, Lansbury addressing the “Me Too” movement opined: “There is two sides to this coin. We have to own up to the fact that women, since time immemorial, have gone out of their way to make themselves attractive. And unfortunately it has backfired on us — and this is where we are today.”
Sexual Misconduct Gospel According To Trump
The gospel of sexual misconduct according to Donald J. Trump, who wields the power inherent to the 45th president and is sometimes confused with a real president is very simple.
In a nutshell, the gospel of sexual harassment according to Trump goes something like this:
If you are accused of sexual misconduct of any kind or with any age group totally deny it. If you are accused of sexual harassment whatever you do, do not admit it, even if you did it, lie and say that you did not do it.
