PANIC!!!

As I'm sure everyone is painfully aware, the Gulf Coast & New Orleans were struck by Hurricane Katrina this past week. Things in those areas will probably never be quite the same, it shall take years to rebuild in some cases. However, in Starkville you would think that the situation is just as dire looking at some people's reactions. The gas pumps have been crowded with lines of people afraid that the city will run out of gas. Well, news to those people: we weren't running out of gas, but we are now thanks to your panic-induced consumerism. I just got back from the grocery store where throngs of folks are crowded in there filling their shopping carts with everything that they can get their hands on. You may think that these are perhaps refuges or people looking to donate items. I'm afraid not. People are now worried that there will be a food shortage. Yes. That's right. There are people here that think STARKVILLE, MISSISSIPPI is about to run out of food. That trucks will not be able to deliver more supplies to the grocery stores. How the Hell can anyone believe this garbage? C'mon Starkville citizens & students, wise up.

Oh, in better news... Kroger has put up their beer fridges & stocked them. Unfortunately it's Sunday so you can't buy it. Apparently while some Blue Laws are not okay, some still are... Weird.
