Alabama has one of the most successful secession petitions, and the man who started it goes by the name of Derrick Belcher. Belcher, 45, is a trucking company manager in Chunchula, and the Alabama petition has already reached the 25,000 signatures necessary to illicit a response from the government. So why is Belcher leading Alabama's charge to break from the United States? He just wants his topless car wash back.

None

How dare the government deny this man his right to start a business that combines clean cars and half-naked women? We thought this was America. The nerve.
