It took him a number of years, but he got that flag off the Alabama State Capitol dome.

These three holidays are an embarrassment. He'll give the Republican legislature hell if they don't agree they have to go! Perfect time, too - Alabama was going to cut holidays cause we don't have money to pay state workers anyway.
