We’ll be away from the TV tonight for Lost and The Office. We hope you enjoy the the greatest show on television and well as the funniest show on TV. (LOST IS BACK!!!)

*brag* We’ve got company tickets for tonight’s M’s game. *brag*

See you on the flip side.

Polk Is A Cry Baby
posted on Apr 24 2008

Southern Miss topped Mississippi State in baseball action on Tuesday night (and a second time on Wednesday night). Mississippi State coach Ron Polk went out in style, calling the USM fans “the worst”. When pressed for an answer as to who was all up in his grill… he responded: “only eight or nine of them”

Nice.

Pete Taylor Park holds 5,377 people. So… 0.0168% of fans in Hattiesburg were rude, so that means everybody is then classified as “the worst”. Ahhhh, the joy of an MSU “dynasty” establisher past their prime. You create a winning program, suddenly you start to lose your edge, then you start point a crooked senile finger at anyone within 10 feet as your ship starts to sink into Mississippi mud. Sounds like someone is pulling a Sherrill.

    “Mississippi College’s new Table Tennis Team slammed its way to victories over bigger schools like Iowa State University and California State University-East Bay.”

Cal State East Bay goes down! (Where is Cal State East Bay?)

    “MC pulled off some upsets and finished in 14th place among 23 coed collegiate teams. In the April 11-13 tournament, they beat out schools like Georgia Tech, Columbia, Stanford, James Madison, Emory, MIT and Maryland.”

MTV did a True Life on being a Southern Belle. Two of them were from Ole Miss. Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

It Happens… But Not Like This

We all have our moments of text message misspelling. However, most are similar to my common errors:

    “Hey Chelsea. I’ll pull my car to the front of your apartment and lick you up in 5 minutes.”

In the country of Turkey, a misspelling resulted in the death of two people. Lesson learned: always spell-check.

We are just 9 1/2 months away from the new G.I. Joe movie. Here’s some photos of the character sin their gear.

I just wanted you to know what they looked like… because knowing is half the battle. Oh!






Poor Bernie

Life after Mississippi College can’t get much worse for Bernie Ebbers:

    Kristie Ebbers, wife of former WorldCom CEO Bernie Ebbers, has filed for divorce.
    Her petition for divorce was filed in Madison County Chancery Court last week, court records show.

    Ebbers, a former high school basketball coach, took a small telecommunications firm and transformed it into an industry giant before the Clinton-based WorldCom collapsed into bankruptcy in 2002.

Cell Porn
posted on Apr 22 2008

News from Jasper… though I understand that this is a major issue in Junior High and High Schools at the moment:

    New technologies present new problems, and the Walker County Board of Education is now working on a policy to combat one of the more unsettling developments cell phone technology has brought into local schools. During the board’s Tuesday meeting, Mickey Beaty, director of the Walker County Alternative School, briefed board members on recent incidences of pornographic images of students being found on cell phones in the schools.

I can assume that this is only happening at Walker High, seeing as no one in the county school system knows what a cell phone is. Zing!

Another big article for Drew Thornley who was featured on the front of National Review on wind energy.

On wind-generated electricity:

    For wind turbines to produce power, the wind must blow. Because the wind does not blow constantly, wind turbines produce a fraction of their potential generating capacities. Furthermore, winds blows the least during the summer months when electricity is needed the most.

Flood, Wind, or Water?
posted on Apr 22 2008

We’ve got some of the South’s best young lawyers reading this blog, so I’ll be interested in on they (and you) feel about cases such as this:

    A federal judge on Monday dismissed claims of fraud in a key Hurricane Katrina lawsuit that accused State Farm Fire & Casualty Co. of using different engineering reports to deny a couple’s insurance policy after the storm.

    The ruling by U.S. District Judge L.T. Senter Jr. applied to the federal lawsuit filed by Thomas and Pamela McIntosh, who sued State Farm after the insurer blamed most of the damages to their Biloxi home on Katrina’s storm surge and paid the couple $36,228. The homeowners policy excluded coverage for flood damage.

    “Judge Senter has confirmed what we have been saying all along — this is a basic wind/water dispute and plaintiffs cannot prove fraud,” State Farm spokesman Jonathan Freed said Monday.

Also, let’s chose our words carefully as a couple of State Farm agents/corporate employees read the blog.
