It's one of those days. There isn't a whole lot going on that's grabbing me, and I'm still not unshook from this weekend. But it's Monday and the week's starting again, so let's see what we got. A 5-4 decision by the United States Supreme Court overturned a lower court's decision to implement a new redistricting plan … Continue reading Monday, February 7, 2022

Well, I'll be damned. He signed it. Late this afternoon, Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves signed into law the medical marijuana bill the legislature voted into law. Therefore, we're the 37th state in the union to legalize the noble weed in some form or fashion. I admit I didn't figure he'd sign it. It went through the House … Continue reading Wednesday, February 2, 2022

The Mississippi State Legislature started its 2022 session yesterday. For the next three months, the state Senators and Representatives will be engaged in the sausage-making that is the legislative process, crafting the laws and regulations that will lead the Magnolia State further into the 20th Century. Then they'll spend the rest of the year asking … Continue reading Wednesday, January 5, 2022

I'm breaking protocol on this one. It's Tuesday morning as I write this and, usually, I wouldn't worry much about it until Wednesday when it'll be published. But this happened Monday and it's been a whole thing on Twitter all night and into the morning. So, if for no other reason than my own sanity … Continue reading Wednesday, November 16, 2021

It's the end of the week and the first day of October. Whatever philosophical significance you want to place on that is your business. For me, it merely is what it is, as always. Anyhow. Gov. Tate Reeves still hasn't made any moves to call a special session so the State Legislature can vote on the medical … Continue reading Friday, October 1, 2021

It's the last day of the first week of the last month of the year. So let's concentrate on a positive development. However, with all things, there's good news and there's bad news. That's just how life is, y'all. This morning quite unexpectedly, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the MORE Act, or the Marijuana Opportunity … Continue reading Friday, December 4, 2020

One more day. I don't know if there's been an election surrounded by as much craziness in my lifetime. Even Bush-Gore 2000 wasn't this crazy and Kerry-Bush 2004 was almost sedate. Obama-McCain 2008 was momentous, of course, but we all felt on the cusp of something amazing. Obama-Romney was rather dull in comparison. Even Trump-Clinton … Continue reading Monday, November 2, 2020

I'm going to have to shut it down today, I can already tell. There is just too much awful in the world for me to handle without copious amounts of good-good and there's simply no way that's going to happen. Plus, I have some Actual Paying Work to do and would rather be playing Pillars Of … Continue reading Wednesday, August 26, 2020

We're going to keep this short and to the point. I rattled on longer than I meant to last night, and I think it took more out of me than I'd planned. It's an exhausting life, I tell you what. In any event, the Trump defense took center stage today in the Impeachment. Apparently, their entire defense rests … Continue reading Monday, January 27, 2020
