There will be sooo many DA's that do this that do not even have Farm Bureau Insurance. Look free money I can get some fruity drinks.
One might assume anybody interested in this would have already received the notice of caution from Farm Bureau.
I just dropped by to read the latest on the turd-situation in the Jackson water saga.
The biggest scam is having to pay a membership to Farm Bureau before getting a magazine & sub par insurance with them.

9:56 NAILED IT- was about to say the same thing. Anybody can beat FB rates, anybody.
I have friend that worked for farm bureau and he used to tell women at bars he was with the FBI (Farm Bureau Insurance)
"he used to tell women at bars he was with the FBI (Farm Bureau Insurance)". Did it ever work?
@11:11am - Only on the really dumb ones. But when your goal is just getting laid by the stupid easy ones, then it works quite well.
Hey, Grandad! Tell us again about back when men would go to a bar hoping to get laid.
What has the insurance commissioner done to investigate and inform the public about Medicare Advantage which appears to be the privatization of Medicare into an HMO. Oh yeah, Mississippi's motto is "Caveat Emptor" and the Ins Commissioner's duty is to protectthe profitability of insurance companies and agents.
