The last few days the STARS AND STRIPES Middle East edition has ran two articles from The Associated Press about Mississippi. By the Way, not stuff to be proud of either. The first I saw said we had continued to lead the way as the most obese state in the Nation. The second said we have the highest level of poverty and lowest median household income with $32,938.00 and no, Hurricane Katrina did not effect these numbers.
Just a month or so ago I also saw an article about how we (Mississippi) is one of the least educated states, #49 of 50 accoriding to the www.morganquitno.com/edrank05.htm education state rankings 2005 - 2006, Arizona is the only state dumber than us. Help me understand that, how can we be so low on these polls. Is it the same as the news enterviews after a tornado hits, do they find someone who honestly is arguing with the guy at the door of Wal-Mart about the no shirt, no shoes policy or are we really this dumb on a whole. Look at the people on the links I placed at the top there with the names of famous Mississippians. Look at the writers. Go to the 4/16/06 post to the Mississippi facts and first. How can we score so low. The good news is that Alabama and California are not to much better of than us but hey they still scored better than we did. Arkansas #37, COME ON!!!!
Well, as far as being fat, I can say it's because we have the best food in the world in the South, especially Mississippi has the best of all that is food. As far as being broke, I will make my UN-educated guess as to the fact that Hollywood and the media as a whole have convinced the rest of the world that we Mississippians are all dumb, redneck, racist. This is why I enjoy putting Mississippians on my blog that have very much so sculpted the world rather or not anyone realizes that they are from Mississippi or not.
Anyway, that is the Rant of the Month.
