Mississippi here I come

You might presume from the name of this blog that I live in Mississippi. Not true. But soon I will be moving back, to Oxford. I'm from Holly Springs, so Oxford is close enough. Looking forward to the City Grocery and walks through town. Not looking forward to the process of moving.

I guess some of those horror stories about drugs were true

A northern California man drank some mushroom tea with his friend. He then discovered that his friend had turned into the devil and ripped out his heart while IT WAS STILL BEATING. This is about as gross at it gets.

Heterosexual partnerships need not apply at FedEx

    Federal Express had decided to offer health insurance to homosexual domestic partners of employees. Here's the story.

Memphis-based FedEx to offer insurance to same-sex domestic partners in 2012

    The FedEx decision is tailored to benefit homosexuals only. Heterosexuals living in sin, shacked up, or whatever you want to call it don't get the benefit. So all the things people like me predicted are happening: Gays aren't just getting equal rights, but special rights. If FedEx wants to reduce health coverage to its married workers in order to provide benefits to gay partners, it ought to go the final step and make the coverage available to shacked-up straights.
    In fact, why not go one further. Why not just allow all employees to add one additional adult living with them to their coverage. This furthers the cause of universal health coverage and gets rid of special rights for gays.
    But true equality isn't the goal of these folks. They want rights above and beyond what heterosexuals have. And now they have them.

Finding the right blog template

    I've been trying to adjust the template I use for my blog. For some reason, all the official Blogger templates are incredibly narrow. I finally found a three-column template, and now for the next few days I will be fiddling around with it trying to make it look right.
    Why won't these people just give us what we want -- a wide, three-column blog template -- instead of making us work our butts off!

Discriminate and save on dinner

    In order to promote "racial reconcilliation," a dozen Jackson restaurants are offering discounts to patrons who dine with a member of another race, reports Jerry Mitchell on his Clarion-Ledger blog, Eat cheap today in Jackson and improve race relations, too.
    Of course, by its very nature, this promotion discriminates against those who wish to dine with a person of the same race. Would it be legal to offer discounts only to those people who dine with members of the same race? I think not. So how can it possibly be legal to offer discounts only to those who dine with members of other races.
    I would suggest that these restaurateurs get out of the business of social engineering and let their patrons dine with whomever they please. If these people want to do a service to humanity, they can just lower the prices for everyone.

In times of crisis, only PC minds need offer their help

    The United States government believed Washington University professor Jonathan Katz was one of the five most qualified scientists in the country to help find a solution to the massive oil rig spill in the Gulf of Mexico. So the government asked him to serve on a board with four other scientists to help craft a solution to the problem.
    Then they found that he had made blog postings where he expressed opposition to the homosexual agenda, and voiced his support for the notion that people should be judged based on their ability and the content of their character, not the color of their skin.
    Katz was immediately kicked off the panel. Apparently the government just can't brook the thought of someone who is not not properly PC helping to solve one of our nation's most serious problems. The Obama administration would rather have several million extra barrels of oil pollute the environment than it would have a non-PC person solve the problem for the nation.

    Pogo is famous for saying, "We have met the enemy and he is us." Not really. The enemy is the left-wing nuts who threw a needed and highly qualified scientist off a board for failing to kowtow to the liberal othodoxy. We have met the enemy and it is them.
