Yesterday I saw that the blog Alabama Liberation Front (formerly located at freealabamastan.blogspot.com) had been hijacked by a porn site. At first I wondered if Ali Bubba had been victim of a malicious attack (or worse yet, if the Associated Press had sent someone after him for calling them out on the Jamil Hussein fakery).
But it seems to be much worse, as Snapped Shot is reporting that Ali-Bubba is taking a forced leave from blogging.
I’m sad to have to say “farewell” to blogger-friend Ali Bubba (of the Alabama Liberation Front). Ali wrote today to say that due to potential issues with his company’s anti-blogging policy, he needed to hang up the hat for now. I wish you the best, Ali, and a Merry Christmas! Hopefully, you’ll be able to grace us with your eloquent prose again very soon!
Friends:
Two nights in a row, I’ve had nightmares in which the Alabama Liberation Front blog led to my being “dooced.” So I deleted it.
It’s Christmas, and my family needs my nights and weekends anyway.
The employment policies which currently prevent me from blogging in my own name are, in my opinion, stupid. But these are the terms of
my employment, and until those policies change, I risk too much by blogging anonymously.When I return to the blogosphere — as I am sure I eventually will — I intend to do so under my own name. I hope I can count on your
assistance then.Until then, once more: FREE ALABAMASTAN!
– ALI-BUBBA
So sad to see him go. Hopefully he’ll be back again soon!
