For those of you who also still read a print newspaper, specifically that Gannett excuse for one, The Clarion Ledger, please join me in letting them know how ridiculous these oversized images are that dominate the entire front page. Today, it was a snake coming out of the neck of a lawyer's suit. There have been other others like bloody butcher knives. I won't even address the content of the story that the unqualified editor deems worthy of a front page. How embarrassing for our state newspaper. <br />"Stop the Madness!" #enquirerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-13130831279955793872016-08-24T09:27:52.499-05:002016-08-24T09:27:52.499-05:00Why are central Mississippians forced to continue ...Why are central Mississippians forced to continue using Hwy 49 South? <br /><br />Why haven't the citizens demanded an updated interstate for the southeast quadrant of this state?

In December 2002, he signed a Consent Order<br />with the Board admitting his attempt in February 2002 to obtain controlled substances for his own<br />use in by writing a prescription to a fictitious name. He surrendered his license in February 2002.<br />He was then reissued a license under the December 2002 Consent Order, which required he refrain<br />from all use of mind- or mood-altering substances or alcohol unless lawfully prescribed. In March<br />2004, a bodily fluid sample was collected from Dr Hambleton by an NCMB investigator and Dr<br />Hambleton subsequently admitted he had been ingesting hydrocodone for at least two months in<br />violation of his Consent Order. He surrendered his license on 3/18/2004.<br />Action: 6/02/2004. Consent Order executed: Dr Hambleton’s license is suspended indefinitely"<br /><br />Looks like he is a felon - isn't that what you call writing fake prescriptions for yourself?<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-80796466433001362112016-08-23T12:03:54.553-05:002016-08-23T12:03:54.553-05:00Can we talk about the possible race for mayor in P...<i>Can we talk about the possible race for mayor in Pearl?</i><br /><br />What is stopping you?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-30389604251778869152016-08-23T11:35:46.322-05:002016-08-23T11:35:46.322-05:00Can we talk about the possible race for mayor in P...Can we talk about the possible race for mayor in Pearl?

My first visit to the state was in 2010 on our way to New Orleans. Stopping in Vicksburg and Natchez. Place stuck with me. I got the idea that maybe, maybe, I could go to Ole Miss for grad school. I visited North Mississippi in 2014, specifically Oxford. But this last year or two, man have my opinions changed. I still love Mississippi, but Oxford has gone straight to shit, no state flag, no Dixie, hipsters, and extreme liberalism. And I say that as someone who identifies as a Paleoconservative with no love for the GOP, and only *nominally* will vote for Trump.<br /><br />So, since I can't live somewhere as psychotically expensive as Oxford, I've chosen other towns like Senatobia or Pontotoc. I wouldn't call this "rational", more just a shingle to get off. But I'm avoiding Jackson.<br /><br />As for this blog, I discovered it through a friend out there. So sorry for the rant, but I've learned about Jackson's regional politics thanks to this blog, it'll get my feet wet for what to expect out there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-68067136217790289082016-08-21T16:10:58.525-05:002016-08-21T16:10:58.525-05:00JBE has just done as all Democrats - reversed hims...JBE has just done as all Democrats - reversed himself. At least he had the balls to do it when his bet was called. He didn't want a photo-op distraction, or so he said. What he was really doing was covering for his President who wasn't going to be disturbed. But when the Donald came in and actually contributed (while, of course, getting his photo-op) JBE had to admit defeat. And, the Donald's appearance did cause Obama to concede and make his trip - which will be nothing but a photo-op and a double-down contribution of our dollars.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-63110162505439858222016-08-21T15:37:57.603-05:002016-08-21T15:37:57.603-05:00Looks like John Bel Edwards has now blown the CNN ...Looks like John Bel Edwards has now blown the CNN agitprop about not wanting a Trump visit out of the water!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-45356804542290975122016-08-21T15:20:08.227-05:002016-08-21T15:20:08.227-05:00with her repeated involvement in other races - wit...<i>with her repeated involvement in other races - with mixed success - she will find herself in the same predicament that McMillan did in Hinds; sooner or later those that she fought will outnumber those that win.</i><br /><br />Wishful thinking.
