A rooster crows in the morning, at sunrise, to signal a brand new day, and in metaphorical essence, hope. The rooster that was crowing last week was Mississippi Legislative Black Caucus Chair Rep. Phillip West, D-Natchez.…

[Williams] The Easy Feeder
by Ruth Campbell Williams
Jan. 13, 2004
Weight problems are nature’s perverse intersection of passion and pain. Anyone who has tried to diet knows this. But it is especially true for horses. Like goldfish, there are some horses that can literally kill themselves with one abundant meal. They’re called “easy feeders.”

House District 72
Jan. 13, 2004
There is nothing like the honeymoon period of a governmental transition. Optimism is running rampant, public officials are cordial to each other, and controversy doesn’t seem to raise our blood pressure as high. But, alas, this too shall pass, and we will be right back to normal, stabbing each other in the back, making insensitive decisions and forgetting our purpose.

[Stauffer] To Peace and Prosperity
by Todd Stauffer
Dec. 23, 2003
As I’m writing this, the Dow seems to have settled into a new level over 10,000 and up about 25 percent on the year. Our abysmal unemployment numbers have seen a little improvement recently (although some manufacturing jobs would be nice), and orders for durable goods have been up in past months along with GDP growth. That’s all pretty good news, and it’s news that I hope translates into peace and prosperity for all of us in the new year. There is, of course, a lot of work to do—particularly in government, where the red ink flows at both the federal level and here in the state capital.

[Taylor] Isn’t It Ironic?
by Ayana Taylor
Dec. 23, 2003
“And I want to tell you, ladies and gentlemen, that there’s not enough troops in the Army to force the Southern people to break down segregation and admit the negro race into our theatres, into our swimming pools, into our homes and into our churches.”
— Strom Thurmond, 1948
It is the age-old story of miscegenation, possible rape and illegitimacy. Essie Mae Washington-Williams has now come out of father Strom Thurmond 's closet for all the world to behold. She is living proof that staunch racist Thurmond—the granddaddy of so much race hatred in the South—had sexual relations at age 22 with his family's 16-year-old black maid.

[Stiggers] Post-Saddam Clearance Sale!
by Ken Stiggers
Dec. 23, 2003
Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein is in jail. So it’s time for a sale! Pookie Peterz, your international hustler, has capitalized on other people’s property, and he is coming to your city with the greatest sale of 2003. Since the recent fall and capture of the totalitarian Iraqi leader, Pookie and his Hustler’s international retail experts have smuggled—oops, I mean acquired—several valuable items from the headquarters and palaces of the former Iraqi dictator.

[Ladd] Just As I Am
by Donna Ladd
Dec. 10, 2003
I was baptized when I was 13 in a Southern Baptist church in Neshoba County. I wasn’t particularly spiritual; there was more anger and selfishness and confusion in my heart than love. I couldn’t have been ready to live a godly life; I didn’t know what it meant. I just walked down the aisle because everybody else was doing it.

[Spann] That’s All I Want for Christmas, Santa
by Jennifer Spann
Dec. 10, 2003
That time is finally here. For months, I’ve patiently waited for this special moment. As I head to the mall for a little afternoon shopping, I can finally pop in my Mariah Carey “Merry Christmas” CD! Yes! The Christmas season is officially here and no one, not even my poor chagrined husband, can stop me from indulging in my holiday guilty pleasure. I’ll sing “All I Want for Christmas” at the very top of my lungs ... in the privacy of my own car or when my hubby isn’t home. Come on; I have some pride.
