Moon of Alabama is an independent news and current affairs internet forum and online discussion site covering topic of politics, philosophy, economics and the writings of blogger Billmon from Whiskey Bar, the name of the forum's predecessor ^[1]

After Whiskey Bar closed on June 29, 2004, Moon Of Alabama was opened as an independent, open forum for members of the Whiskey Bar community.

The user Bernhard started and still runs the forum with posts and art from regular contributors.

The name of the original Whiskey Bar was taken from Bertolt Brecht's Alabama Song where the first line goes "Show me the way to the next whiskey bar" wheras the name Moon of Alabama was taken from the chorus"Oh, moon of Alabama...".
