Good for Mississippi boy John Grisham! Go Dawgs! He did his pre-law at Mississippi State before going to Ole Miss for law school. One out of two ain't bad.

How much did George Soros give? Teddy Kennedy? The rest of the Liberal know-nothing bigmouths?

If he wasn't such a flaming liberal, he would be a OK guy.

When Grisham practiced law in Southaven, we lived just down the street from his office.

Yep, I believe John has strayed just a little bit from his Mississippi upbringing. I was really disappointed when I learned that Hollywood had turned the plot of his novel The Runaway Jury from attacking big tobacco to attacking firearms manufacturers. I know an author surrenders control over his work when he sells the screen rights, but if I were him I would have put up more than a little fuss about what the Hollywood liberals did to it. You can probably tell why from my tagline.

Still not bad at all, considering that she's not an American

Oh, baloney, she made all her billions here in the USA. She should give back here. You think she'd be the star multi-millionaire she is if she'd stayed in Canada. UHHH-no.

Big deal, don't you get it? She "auctioning off a BIG PARI OF DIAMOND EARRINGS", as you capitalized it. It's still money coming out of the pocket of someone else. It's no big deal to her to donate a pair of earrings. They were probably given to her anyway. The message to a rich celebrity or athlete is......."give your own money, out of your own back account."

How on this Earth do you know she hasn't? And How do you know that the earring were "given" to her? You don't. Sounds a bit like class envy to me. How much you have you given?

Hey, don't jump on me, I'm not saying anything but that I really don't expect anybody who isn't an American to personally give us snot.

They all seem to critize us and the American system endlessly, but they sure don't mind making a fortune here.
