Mississippi leading the US in moral values So it seems that Mississippi has banned Jon Stewart's book. It's a good thing that they did ban the book, because a book like Jon Stewart's could easily undo the delicate social and moral fabric of the great state of Mississippi. If they had not banned the book, the people of Mississippi may start reading, divorce their sisters, and stop listening to country music. The horror.

You almost have to feel bad for Mississippi. All you hear from there is news about books being banned, civil rights mishaps, a new swamp swimming record, and of course their colorful religious nut cases. Why can't they be more like California? Why can't they produce anything that the rest of the U.S. actually gives a damn about.
