Reading the "Mixonesque" interpretation of higher education made me consider that if you're wanting to buy a Ford, which dealership would you choose?
Courtesy Ford - Bob Mixon - part of the "pave over the truth" cabal
Mack Grubbs Ford (Columbia, MS) - Mr. Grubbs, from Bogalusa, is a friend and supporter of the university. He has been a donor to both academics and athletics, and doesn't want to tell everyone how to run the university.
It's interesting that the Cabal objected to "the boycotts" -- not that there is such an organized thing at all -- but were strangely silent when others suggested a boycott of Sweet Peppers and other restaurant association members after the bond vote. Sauce for the goose, folks.
I don't need to join a boycott, I don't do business with any of those folks anyway. However, I once attempted to do business with Mr. Warren, but he did not show up for our appointment and I wrote off his company right then and there. Of course mine wasn't a six-figure job, so I don't suppose he cares.
