Even when they try to be straight, the NYT is condescending.
(((MS PING)))
I just hope the yankess don't hear about or believe how great
life is here in MS.
I thought Favre was from Kiln, MS. Not Hattiesburg.

He is.
You ARE reading the NY Times don't you know?
He is from Kiln, but his home now is Hattiesburg.
"Mississippi is rarely associated with high technology."
Well, maybe not by the NYT but...
- The Jackson-Clinton metropolitan area in south central Mississippi is the largest single conglomeration of high-tech telecommunications and wireless companies in America, with more than 300 such firms calling the state capital region home.
- Statewide, more than 10,000 Mississippians are employed in telecom jobs, as Mississippi has become a virtual "who's who" roll call of top firms in that sector: WorldCom, SkyTel, Tritel/SunCom, Air2Lan, WirelessOne and Telepak/Cellular South, just to name a few.
- The University of Southern Mississippi in Hattiesburg is one of the top 10 graduate schools in the nation for polymer sciences and is home to the internationally recognized Mississippi Polymer Institute.
- Mississippi has more than 84,800 miles of fiber optics in place with more being put in the ground every day. This mileage total relative to population density is among the highest in the nation.
- Two of the US Department of Defense's four major shared computer resource centers are located in Mississippi, making the state a national leader in super-computing power.
- The Mississippi FiberNet 2000 project was the nation's first fiber optic, fully interactive, two-way distance learning network operated over public telephone switched facilities.

Thanks for the info. I did not know that.
"I just hope the yankess don't hear about or believe how great

Unfortunately, this is one instance where
the NYT will report a positive story.
That's a rarity.
I think he's moved from Kiln to Hattiesburg.
The shopping is better there. ;o)
Dixie bump!
"USACE"
What's that?
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
Thanks!
So if Bruce opens a drinking establishment, will he call it Fu Bar?
That far south, why don't they just say he's whuppin' up a mess o' POSSum.
Quiet! Please! The snow-birds may see that.
