Hood's Google Fishing Expedition
Does it surprise anyone that Samson is greasing the palms of his buddies, and doing the bidding of a powerful interest?
It works out for everyone: Mike Moore gets paid, the MPAA gets to take Google down a peg, Jim Hood gets to run against a Corporation (that just happens to have all your search records)...win win right? I'm sure when the campaign finance reports come down, there will be no money donated from MPAA types to Hood.
Speaking of which, has anyone noticed the Jim Hood pattern? He's against cybercrime, he's against exploiting children, he's against abusing drugs...
Is there anyone out there who's actually FOR THOSE THINGS? Other than criminals? It's subtle, but the "If you're against Jim Hood, you're for all kinds of bad things" vibe is real.
I expect this to be covered extensively by the relevant newspapers in Mississippi.*

If I May Rebut Davy and Nash
Have you guys ever given consideration to the fact that people are leaving the Democrat party these days because the guys in charge are such a bunch of obnoxious jerks?
You've got the Speekah, Samson, the Godfather...not to mention the leadership of the Black Caucus, who are about as polite as a rabid wolverine and as helpful as the IRS. And we haven't even gotten to the Golden Boy, who might not be able to get elected the most popular guy in a phone booth. Maybe Nash and Davy should look at that factor before they bash anyone for leaving the party.

Mike Moore Won't Run
The Godfather Mike Moore has decided not to run for the US Senate in the next election. Count me as one who's not surprised.
Moore could have easily had the nomination for governor in 2007, but chose to allow John Eaves-or John Arthur Eaves, or JA Eaves, or John Arthur Eaves Jr or John Eaves Jr or John Arthur or Skippy the Wonder Dog whatever he decided to call himself during the campaign-to self-fund a campaign that managed to garner 41% of the vote. He could have run in 2008 to replace the retiring Senator Lott, but he's chosen not to.
Now, some could interpret this as a sign he's waiting out the Scruggs fiasco (after all, having your buddies and major source of campaign funds potentially staying in the county jail while you're running can't be good), but here's something that people might miss.
Mike Moore would have to run against an incumbent-though not Senator Lott-in a Senate race in 2008. And he's not going to chance that perfect Mike Moore record against an incumbent. That makes him next years candidate-and it always will. It keeps Mike Moore in the public eye, and lets him continue to be a power broker, even though he's not running. He gets to continue to have lucrative work thrown his way-thanks, MCI-and all the right people flatter him.
That's not to say he won't run again. The governor's mansion will be open in 2011, and Thad Cochran can't stay in Washington forever. But why hurry and jump into a race where he has a greater chance at losing? After all, there's no money in that.

Arts and Crafts Time!
In the spirit of times past, here's a montage of images dedicated to our heroes, Dickie, Mikey, and Jimmy.
Confidence-when you've got it (and $40,000 for a circuit judge) it shows.
It's Haley's fault, it's Haley's fault, honest to gosh it's Haley's fault!
The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come?
What, Me Worry? Not on the Day of My Daughter's Wedding...
