"Mississippi is Ready"

"We have a cheer at Ole Miss, 'Are You Ready?' Ole Miss is ready. The facility is ready. Mississippi is ready," Chancellor Khayat told the media en masse front side of the Ford Center. Boy are they ready . . . .

Sitting inside Starbucks looking out over the Grove strategically stationed in the Student Union, the media swarms like hornets onto anything with a political connotation.

I too was caught eyeballing and snapping my lens at a student propped on Union steps, wearing two ties, with his own campaign sign scrawled on cardboard touting of his personal presidential candidacy built on change, which amounted to a Coke cup with a few coins.

It's all news here. The dress, the signs, the usual, the bizarre.

We are all news, and I am lovin' it.
