All Hail The Sports Conservative
Chuck, stick to your guns on the only thing that really matters.
Chuck Klosterman of ESPN tells why he's a sports conservative. Which only seems odd after he writes, I am an apolitical person. Absolutely nobody believes me when I say that, but it's true. Every conservative person I know thinks I'm mixing Noam Chomsky's personal Kool-Aid, and every liberal I know seems to assume I want to shampoo Ann Coulter's hair while watching outtakes from "The Passion of the Christ."
"Frankly Speaking," April 6, 2005 (Melton's newsletter)
Melton's new campaign newsletter is out. Of particular interest:
Archie Fires Back
Archie Manning is sick of FOX Sports talking head Terry Bradshaw. Manning tells Newsday that Bradshaw's latest comment about his son Colts QB Peyton Manning was "a cheap shot." Archie also didn't like what Bradshaw had to say about his other QB kid, the Giants' Eli Mannning, in 2004 when Eli forced San Diego to trade him after taking him with the first pick in the NFL draft.
Punting Piney Woods
The Piney Woods boys basketball team is out of the MHSAA playoffs (again). The Tornadoes, one of the best teams in the state, were among the favorites to win the Class 2A title. The MHSAA threw Piney Woods out of the playoffs last week for illegal recruiting. Then, it was reported that an agreement had been reached that would allow Piney Woods to play as long as coach Wayne Brent did not attend the games. On Monday, a Hinds County judge denied an injunction by the school and the MHSAA said the team wouldn't be part of the postseason.
Bye-Bye Bell
Jackson State ended the James Bell error on Monday, dismissing him two days after the Tigers lost to Arkansas Pine-Bluff 64-36 before a homecoming crowd that allegedly numbered 2,831. Looks like athletic director Roy Culberson, who hand-picked Bell, decided to cut the cord before his boss decided to save time by firing them both at the end of the season. Memo to JSU: Fire Culberson before he hires again, and find somebody, within the JSU family or not, who has experience as a successful college coach. In other words, don't do what Ole Miss diid.
Alex Eaton
Alex Eaton of Manship Wood Fired Kitchen will represent Mississippi and Blake Phillips of Sage will represent Louisiana in the Great American Seafood Cook-Off on Aug. 6 in New Orleans.
Mississippi Governor Joins Others in Backing GOP Health Plan
Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant has joined seven other Republican governors in a letter endorsing the GOP plan to repeal and replace former President Barack Obama's health care law.
Stinker Quote of the Week: 'Signs'
Vance's rationale for being angry about people holding signs is just bizarre. He described a hypothetical situation in which a jilted panhandler might call his sister the b-word.
Stinker Quote of the Week: 'Worship'
The U.S. Constitution indeed protects the right to practice the religion of one's choosing. It does not, however, allow individuals or businesses to discriminate in the execution of that right.
Stinker Quote of the Week: 'Education'
Instead of taking from Paul and Peter to fill up the rainy-day fund, maybe it's time for lawmakers to put the taxpayers' money where their mouths are.
County Jail Agrees Inmates Can Receive Nonreligious Books
A south Mississippi county has agreed to allow inmates to receive non-religious reading materials, ending a lawsuit.
James Anderson
JACKSON, Miss. (AP)—Well-known African-American physician and civil rights activist Dr. James Anderson has died. He was 82.
Durant Public Schools District Continues to Resist Consolidation
Durant Superintendent Edwin M. Robinson says the citizens of Durant are vehemently opposed, and have been since House legislation required pre-consolidation reports from the two school districts last year.
[Moore] Stop the Insanity!
I hate the fact that for so many years I believed the propaganda. It is printed, reported, over-reported and regurgitated across all media about the city of Jackson: "Don't go downtown." "Don't walk the streets at night." "Be gone before the sun sets. Crime is up."
