Louisiana’s U.S. Senator John Kennedy has written a national best-seller, “How to Test Negative for Stupid And Why Washington Never Will.” The preposterous conceit that drives the book is that everybody, or almost everybody, in the nation’s capital is stupid, with the exception of Senator Kennedy.

The National Park Service has removed visitor brochures from the Medgar & Myrlie Evers Home National Monument. Among the anticipated changes? No longer calling his murderer a “racist.”
Edits to the brochure have removed that reference to Byron De La Beckwith, according to Park Service officials, who asked not to be named for fear of retribution. Other edits include eliminating the reference to Medgar Evers lying in a pool of blood after being shot.

Digging through a folder labeled “Stuff” yesterday, I rediscovered a “Life Event Stress Scale” that I had tossed in there and forgotten.
You may have seen one. Life events are listed in order of how much stress they create, beginning with “Death of A Spouse” at 100 points and ending with “Minor Violation of Law” at 11 points. To judge your own stress level, you mark every event you are experiencing and add up the points.

There have been recent reports of large job cuts across the country. E-commerce and technology giant Amazon, for example, is eliminating 16,000 corporate jobs, partly to reduce its organizational structure — but also because it expects “efficiency gains” as artificial intelligence is used more extensively across the company.
Almost at the same time, United Parcel Service said it will eliminate 30,000 delivery jobs — in part because it is getting less business from Amazon.

Maybe there’s something to this notion that weather extremes are getting greater. We had record breaking high temperatures in December and record breaking low temperatures in January.
January 31 beat the all-time low for that day by one degree. This year’s low was 16 degrees, lower by one degree than January 31, 1966. The high that day this year was 28 degrees, a whopping five degrees lower than the January 31, 1996 high of 33 degrees. And the wind was blowing at 25 knots. Brrr!

The state Senate on Tuesday unanimously voted to provide $20 million to fund the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency’s initial Winter Storm Fern response and recovery efforts, although it was not clear if the House would consider the plan. Hours after the Senate vote, Gov. Tate Reeves announced he is requesting a major disaster declaration for several counties.
