Let the Blogging Begin...






















Co-Editors in Chief, Thomas Gregory and R.D. Seawright, pause for a photograph at the 2nd Annual Crawfish by the Lake party at Spring Lake in Carroll County, Miss.

Dirt (dûrt) n. 1. Disgraceful gossip about the private lives of other people. 2. Licentiousness of language or theme. 3. Scandalous or malicious gossip. 4. Embarrassing or incriminating information.

As the publishers of TheDeltaDirt.com, we welcome you to Greenwood’s new hip and happening journalistic endeavor, home of “All the Dirt That’s Fit to Blog in Greenwood, Mississippi.” Here you will get the "deets" on various and sundry town-related topics.

We pledge to tirelessly investigate and report on all the funky findings that make Greenwood and the Greater Delta Region such a great place to be. Party buses, blues festivals, tennis teams, wedding celebrations, blue vodka, and the best bands around are but a few of the topics we will cover.

We will offer weekly features like Sunday’s “Weekend Roundup,” an exposé on the previous two days’ shenanigans. Monday will expose the "Dirty Deltan of the Week," reserved for the biggest jackass at the bar...better hope your mug shot doesn't show up here!

Tuesday’s lineup will include “Delta Roadtrip,” an insider’s look at the intriguing elements that make up our culturally-diversified and mysterious Mississippi Delta. Check out your “Hump-Day Horoscope” on Wednesday, a prediction of what’s in store for your future.

On Thursday, you will get to know your friendly “Fellow Flatlander,” a slightly risqué spin-off of The Commonwealth’s widely-popular “Just Ask Your Neighbor” series. Friday will showcase “What’s Good in the ‘Wood,” a preview of the upcoming weekend’s happenin' hot spots, late night locales and designated drivers. Email us (dirt@thedeltadirt.com) by close-of-business on Thursday to have your events added to the list.

And on the seventh day, they rested. No regular posts on Saturday. Sorry.

This is a place for the good folk of Greenwood to contribute their proverbial two cents and stay abreast of what's going on in the Cotton Capital. Feel free to leave your thoughts behind by clicking on the ‘comments’ link below each post.

From the streets to the screen, the lowdown about town can be found at TheDeltaDirt.com. So welcome aboard. And “bring it,” my beloved blogging bitches!

Your faithful and fearless editors,
Thomas and R.D.

This is going to be a lot of fun and a little scary. Thomas, if you ever want to start a company and need investors, come to me first.

The comments are good, people! We need MORE, though... It would also be wise to (if you think you will be posting often) register a Blogger account so you won't have to post as 'anonymous.' Now, off to the bar to do a little reporting... Ha!

Obama or McCain? You Decide.

Barack Obama is the only candidate that has been successful at reaching across party lines in the presidential election. I as well have not had much to say on The Dirt. It is unfortunate that I no longer consider myself in tune with life in the Delta and can no longer comment as such. My free time (what little of it I have) has also been dedicated to following both the presidential election and American Idol like a hawk. That having been said, I am not afraid to admit that my name is on Amy's list of previously sane people who are seriously considering Obama in November. Now, my consideration depends on a lot of future events to fall into place. First and foremost, Obama will have to beat Hillary for the Democratic nomination. If that were to happen, my pick between Obama and McCain would also depend on who each picks for their veep candidate. As a self-proclaimed independent, I find myself torn between these two candidates and refuse to make a blind decision based on what ce...

Editorial: As Predicted, McCain Falls in the Polls

This two-minute campaign ad clearly states Barack Obama's plan to reenergize our economy. Thank God someone is addressing this issue. In an opinion editorial previously published this week, I predicted that the roller coaster ride the economy has been on this week would cause Republican presidential candidate John McCain to fall in the polls. "My prediction: By the end of the week, McCain's stance on the economy will cause his Palin bump in the polls to all but disappear." According to Real Clear Politics , "one of America’s premier independent political web sites," my prediction came true. Currently, Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama is ahead in the polls by 1.9% , approximately the level by which he was ahead leading into the Democratic and Republican conventions. The Palin bump that McCain joined is now completely gone. This reversal of fortune is due, in part, to Obama's strength on the issue of the economy and the popularity of his e...
