MONTGOMERY, Ala.
Pubs and alehouses like Tondee’s Tavern served as meeting places where colonists planned the American Revolution, and that tradition is being carried on by Tea Party activists in Alabama. Every Tuesday is “Patriot Night” at Montgomery’s Deja Vu Billiards, owned by Republican congressional candidate Rick Barber:

By the way, describing Barber as a ”pool-hall owner” may be somewhat misleading about his business background. After his service as a sergeant in the Marine Corps, Barber launched a computer technology firm that grew to $1 million in annual revenue before he sold it in 2005.
