I believe Mississippi deserves a shout out.
That state rightly takes a lot of shite for some of its actions. However, Tuesday they stepped up and defeated the ludicrous personhood proposition.
They voted it down decisively to the surprise of all.
So give them some well-deserved credit for this because they are jumped on in a nanosecond for actions we don't like.

5. New personhood test for corporations:
If a corporation can prove that it was created by a human sperm fertilizing a human egg, then it can go ahead and claim personhood.

7. Yes they DO deserve major props for that.
That law was obscene.

Now those same folks need to get the asshole who wrote that mess OUT of office. SOON.

11. Too bad the photo ID law passed
Sorry, I'm not letting them off the hook just yet. Sure, the selectively pro-life hypocrites showed up to vote the amendment down, but once they covered their own butts, they threw many voters under the bus.
