choice quotes from a column he wrote on August 6, 1992 that delve more
into the economic realm. Enjoy.

Update: Judge Emfinger denied the petition.
JJ obtained through a public records request a copy of the charges Mrs. Robin Mayfield filed against three Madison police officers on October 17, 2014.

Mr. Mayfield committed suicide shortly after he was arrested by Madison police for allegedly helping Clayton Kelly take pictures of Rose Cochran in her room at St. Catherine's Village.
PERS funding level improves
PERS Board meeting set to begin. PERS will announce the funding level at this meeting. Portfolio grew to $25 billion off an 18% return on investment. Good numbers. The variable is the growth in retirees. I estimate it to be around 4,000. That is the highest growth in several years if true. However, the funding level should increase one to two points. Stay tuned. Update:

Ali "Paula Deen" Shamsid Deen: Clarion-Ledger uses "trusted Negro intellectuals"
Nothing like a blast from the past when running for office. If we can kick Paula Deen off the air for something she said twenty years ago with a gun in her face or run some politician out of town for old writings (I don't have a specific example in mind, it just sounded good when I wrote it), then we an enlighten you on what a certain candidate for Hinds County Circuit Judge wrote on the pages of the Jackson Advocate back in the 90's. This was a good one.
The good ole boys strike back.
Nothing like a little competition to scare the hell out of the good ole boy network as Uber dared to grace the city of Oxford with its presence. One would think a progressive city such as Oxford would welcome a company that brings competition to taxis. Such is not the case in the land that time forgot. What is Oxford's response to Uber? Throw 'em in jail. That will show 'em. We don't need no new-fangled ideas he-unh in Misissippi. Everything works just fine. The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal reported:
