Local News, Really Bad and Really Good

Local news is popping today. Two people have been arrested in connection to the death of a 2 year old child. They also are being charged with cruelty to animals. You can read more if you open Tuesday's comments and click on Beagle's link. This is such a tragedy. As said in the comments no crime is more grave than the abuse of a child. IMHO, the lower realms of hell await those that commit such crimes. Prayers have been said.

Let's lighten up. A huge Congrats out to Tupelo High School. Their athletic program was rated 3rd in the NATION by Sports Illustrated. The high school is located next to the Natchez Trace and looks more like a college campus than a high school. A big hats off and kudos to Danny Porter, athletics director, ALL the athletes, and the many support groups that boost this program. Read more at DailyJournal.com.

"It was while making newspaper deliveries, trying to miss the bushes and hit the porch, that I first learned the importance of accuracy in journalism."

EDIT: Buffett was awesome on Dave Letterman's show last night. Check it out at CBS.com. The huge red headed fellow standing beside him pickin' and singing is Mac McAnally. Mac is from Belmont, Mississippi. That's in Tishomingo County which is my old stomping grounds! My heart remains there to this very day.
