Puttin’ People on the Moon
By
Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley (R) pointed to one of man’s greatest scientific achievements as evidence that his state could build more prisons.
Noting that 2019 would mark the 50th anniversary of his state putting a man on the moon, Bentley argued that Alabama should be able to build more facilities.
“If Alabamians can put man on the moon, we can build new prisons,” Bentley said during his State of the State address on Tuesday. The Saturn V rocket, which propelled Apollo 11 to the moon in 1969, was built at Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama.
Now that is inspiring leadership for the future of Alabama!
Of course Bentley is the kind of guy who could listen to “Used to Be a Cop” and think, “We need to hire that guy for the Alabama State Police!”
