42...Strangely, Not the Answer to Everything

I'm perplexed that it's even come to this.

It's pretty obvious to anyone who's watched the 42 debate that the main purpose of the initiative is not to fund schools (with no budget cuts or tax increases, y'all!!!!) but to fund the Ronnie Musgrove Betterment Fund, and the Trial Lawyers.  At least to anyone who isn't a 42 supporter or a Clarion-Ledger writer-but I repeat myself.

Seriously, when Sid Salter is writing articles BEGGING people not to vote on 42, how much more of a red flag do you need?  I could go into all his reasons, but he puts it really well.  It is a straight up violation of the separation of powers, and creating an education czar (as if we don't have enough!) in the Hinds County courts.

Vote against 42.  Both 42s.

Over at Salter's Blog

He has a gripe with GWB about the traffic flow in Rankin County during the Presidential visit. Fair enough. He's wondering whether or not this could tip the election to Musgrove.

I wonder what Sid had to say a couple of years ago during the Saints/Colts preseason game at VMS, where traffic in downtown Jackson was an absolute disaster. How many people swore they'd never go to a Saints game again? Was Sid one of them?

Absurd, Sid. You can do better than that.
