Delta State University in Cleveland MS is another of the state's public universities, but not one of the elite three, apparently, and they are escaping the scrutiny of the Heritage Police. Their official mascot is "The Statesman," a sort of Colonel Sanders character based on the state senator who got the school located in Cleveland fucking Mississippi. The students, however, favor the mascot/nickname "The Fighting Okra." The school has an excellent steel drum band. I saw them play some years ago, and admired the tee-shirts many of them were wearing with a cartoon figure of a personified stalk of okra with boxing gloves, and the bold legend "FEAR THE OKRA."

My point is that even in Mississippi, there are Wonkette-worthy people. A few, anyway. Right, ElviiouslyGay?

Aren't there already enough "S"s in Mississippi? Now some of them want to rewrite the Constitution?

What do they give a shit what Jeebus would be OK with? ""Christianity" and "religion" have nothing to do with this declaration. This is about hate, pure and simple. (Mississippi-level simple, which is VERY simple indeed!)

But hey, at least they'll be educating the chilluns in something. Not, you know, math or English or science or whatever, but Dixie Heritage is probably a little like history, so it almost counts.

We should have a national day to celebrate Sherman's March to the Sea.

"confidence in her future"

Arrrgh...this may be the biggest reasons why Fundamentalist Christians drive me around the fucking twist. Do you ever read your damn book? "God's Plan" for you and the rest of us is to usher in the final battle between him and his dumbass brother/cousin/former minion Satan. There is no "prosperity", there is no, "but what about the children", there is no "future"...there's only blood running as high as a horse's bit until Jesus comes in during the final reel to redeem those who have been all, "wtf Jesus...where ya been" and cast Satan back into the abyss and then, and only then, after all of that needless bullshit and suffering, do we get to chill with the "Prince o' Peace" for what, a thousand years? Then what?

As an aside, I was listening to the news about the latest kerfuffle between the Jews and Palestinians, all fussing about The Temple Mount/Noble Sanctuary and how if one of the other folks so much as pray there then it's an "ATTACK" against the other person's religion. What the everloving fuck is that about? I swear to fucking god, religion is a mental illness.

"...the proposal would declare English the state’s official language."

I have relatives in Mississippi and I was forced to visit there as a child. I can assure you that no one there speaks anything remotely resembling English.
