Th alleged assault happened just after the Hattiesburg Patriot published the following picture of the Forrest County Sheriff Billy McGee, who clearly was not feeling very photogenic when the picture was taken:

But now the Gov and the legislature, pandering to the very worst in base, petty human emotion have insured that the trailer trash element in our state can use their supposed religious beliefs to deny service to those that offend their self-righteous, faux Christian sensibilities despite Federal laws that clearly state the contrary.

House Bill 1523 brings into sharp focus why Mississippi leads the nation in the export of Human Capital who escape a place that legislates ignorance in the name of ole time religion. And while these new style Mississippi Republicans certainly know how to pander to the majority of those who stayed, I submit they know jack shit about the Constitution.

I’m proud to disclose I have a client on the Sun Herald list of business that understand Green. I’d submit the very act of having to advertise that you serve everyone with green is a sure sign of an overall hostile business climate. For those that depend upon tourism to make their green, things are certain to get worse while ignorance reigns supreme at the Capitol.
