"It's always November, it's three o'clock in the morning, it's raining, and there's nowhere to go, and you reach out for a cigarette and smoke and think of all the horrible things you've done in your life " is how the late Richard Burton described alcoholism as only Richard Burton can do in an old video posted below. Powerful stuff.

"It's Always a Fight"
Hinds County Election Thread
We got us some knockdowns going on in Hinds County elections. The big one is the Sheriff's race. Everyone wants to vanquish Victor. Well, paying out $330,000 for sexual harassment, lying about child murder, killing K-9's through incompetence, and letting inmates run the jail tend to bring challengers out of the woodwork. Who will it be? The Chief, the Marine, the Green, or some unknown darkhorse. Then there is the District Attorney's race. We got us a prosecutor, criminal defense lawyer, and a social justice warrior who thinks we lock up too many criminals in Hinds County. Makes you feel safer, doesn't it. The Taxman actually has some opposition this year. Then there are the supervisors.
Charges Dismissed Against Abortion Protestors

Sid Salter Waxes on Justice Court Judges
If you need a wise, reasonable soul to adjudicate a drunken misdemeanor bar fight, sort out right from wrong in a traffic ticket, or even to officiate at a wedding, the average Mississippi justice court judge can be your huckleberry.

Mark Baker Wants to Make Jackson Safe
This post is a paid advertisement.
I care about Mississippi, and I care about Jackson, our capital city. As a longtime resident of Rankin County, I also care about the metro Jackson area and believe we are all in this together. No matter how far out you drive or how high the wall is around your neighborhood, crime in Jackson is going to have negative consequences and spillover effects in neighboring cities. That is why as your next attorney general I am committed to helping turn our capital city around. Care and commitment, however, are not going to be enough. We are going to need a plan. Above all, we are going to have to make Jackson a safe place to live, shop, dine and do business.

A suspect refused to comply with a trooper's directives and needless to say, it did not end too well for him. However, there are two videos of the incident. The first one posted below is the short version. It leaves out some very relevant information but naturally casts the trooper in a bad light. Selective editing, indeed.
