Three Weeks = No Post

Whoa, it's been like three weeks since our last post here on the Dirt. No wonder we are averaging only 30 hits a day. I can't speak for Amy, but I have been a little tied up with school lately. I hope that I will be able to come up for air sometime soon and write a post or two (as if anyone would notice).

In the meantime I'll just post a link to an interesting piece the Clarion-Ledger did on Greenwood as part of their "7 Cities in 7 Days" tour of Mississippi. It is entitled, "Greenwood, Viking Bound Together." Make sure to view the video on the top right of the page and check out the photo gallery of pictures taken around Greenwood.

Thomas Jefferson, I am probably one the few hits each day. I browse all of the blogs daily I have saved under my favorites and, yes, yall are one of them. Your Mom said you were coming home soon. If you are home for Thanksgiving please come by. McLean and his family will be up for the weekend and the Trotter/Melton clan will take on the Swayze/Pillow clan in a mean game of croquet. Of course we are welcoming all family and stoppers by to join in the charade! AND if you are going to be here for the Christmas Parade you must join us then too. OH, by the way...we had to replace your basketball goal net. It rotted. BUT, we have fresh hope for new talent to emerge. After we give the backboard a good pressure washin' we will be in business. Hope to see you soon.

Obama or McCain? You Decide.

Image
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...
