This is by no means any type of political endorsement in any way, shape or form. It is strictly my own personal, private opinion.

The damnyankee (one word) media has always delighted in depicting Mississippians in books, songs and movies as fat, sloppy, “good ole boy” type people, mostly barefoot and uneducated, and, ignoring our outstanding senators and congressmen, and our exceptional artists and leaders.

For that reason I find it very pleasant to have a sheriff who looks like a gentleman, dresses like a gentleman, talks like a gentleman, behaves like a gentleman and can outrun any two-bit criminal who mistakenly thinks he can’t.
