Mississippi sick and tired of all the insults

I have to hand it to Mississippi. Having been the butt of everyone’s jokes for God knows how long (and a nasty comment from Rep. Charles Rangel just last week), the “Quadruple-I” state is fighting back. In a new public-image effort, Ole Miss (though I guess that’s the university and not the state) is taking ownership of the jokes, while turning them on their heads. “Yes, we can read,” reads this ad. “Some of us can even write.”
