The Associated Press is reporting that Greenwood Councilman John Lee sent an e-mail last week to a group of whites criticizing black Council President David Jordan, and calling him a "n*gger":
A Greenwood councilman has apologized for using a racial slur in an e-mail referring to the council's black president David Jordan.
"I am sorry that I used the language that I used," John Lee said Friday in a prepared statement. "I did not intend for it to be harmful to David nor to our community. I ... read on »
So many of you are probably familiar with the case of statutory rape that singer R. Kelly is facing. So word is that Kelly and the underaged female are denying that they are the ones on the video (the one that caused all this drama). But now there's a new girl...third party, who says she was involved in a three-some with Kelly and the same girl.
What I want to know is, when can a girl decide for herself that she's ready for sex? My concern is that girls are not girls nowadays. They make ... read on »
The Associated Press has a fun story about Barack Obama playing Taboo on his campaign plane with young journalists. From the story:
When Obama was giving clues, he ventured: "Thomas Jefferson called for it once in a while." Seeing the blank looks, he admitted, "that's too obscure." He then tried, "the Beatles did a song about it," and a teammate correctly answered, "Revolution."
Calling the local bar and restaurant a "swankateria," Esquire has conferred an impressive honor on the place that "Best of Jackson" voters often call out as one of the "best places to spot legislators" and one of the "best places to eat when someone else is paying." The writer gives particular props to Schimmel's for its weekend transformations into the Houserockers venue for Subway Lounge-style blues.
There's a slider on the page that lets you set your own rating for Schimmel's and pay ... read on »
It seems The Clarion-Ledger is suddenly going somewhere it hasn't dared to go in over 20 years in its story today about the R.J. Washington case. The bizarre thing is that there are no new allegations here, although perhaps new to them. I recall an editor over there belittling our stories back during the campaign (stories that Melton himself tipped us to, starting with this one) about the old criminal allegations against Melton (and his denials), saying that they were bogus. The question is, ... read on »
There are some sick puppies out there. This release from the Attorney General's office details an e-mail hoax that threatens the life of the recipient and demands payment:
[verbatim release] Jackson, Miss -- A threatening e-mail is making an appearance in Mississippi The e-mail is similar to other threatening hoaxes which have been reported in the state. Attorney General Jim Hood announced that his office has received several reports of an e-mail which involves a death threat to the ... read on »

No, this isn't some desperate rant about finding a mate. I'm talking about a bonafide, honest-to-God decrease in male births.
This morning, I paid more than $52 to buy 3/4 of a tank of gas. Lucky for me that I live in Mississippi instead of San Francisco, where the cost of regular topped $4 per gallon this week. But the end isn't in sight, and despite the general outcry over the astronomical profits of the corporate oil giants, gas prices continue to climb. People are paying more than $100 to fill up their SUVs.
U.S. consumers are spoiled by the previous cost of cheap fuel. When I was in Austria two years ago, the ... read on »
Check out Davis' attack ad on his opponent, Democrat Travis Childers. These two are vying for the seat in District 1 that Roger Wicker gave up after his appointment to the U.S. Senate by Haley Barbour (filling the hot seat Trent Lott jumped out of last fall to begin his lobbying career). Childers surprised a lot of folks by jumping out to the lead in the special election, nearly pulling off a major upset in an area assumed to be very right-leaning. Childers, considered a very conservative ... read on »
