Ole Miss called off its online mascot vote on Thursday, apparently because the only people voting in the non-binding election were Mississippi State fans. Also it seems that the artist who submitted the "new" Rebel Bruiser mascot forgot to mention that a statue of Bruiser beating up a Bulldog has been on sale for a year. Hopefully, we can all put this behind us and start concentrating on real news like the Siegfried and Roy disaster or Halle Berry's marital problems. Sure the University of Mississippi has released an official statement on this latest setback, but Dr. S is still waiting to hear from his personal choice as the new Rebel mascot, former Iraqi Information Minister Muhammed Saeed al-Sahaf (left).

You really ought to read Mary Hartwell Howorth's letter to the DM, entitled "Changing Mascot to Mule Has Kick" I thought it was going to be a grand satire until I read it (it is delightful, but not entirely tongue-in-cheek) and came away blinking, dazed, and, dare I say it . . . CONVINCED. I can see it now - muleprints all over bulldogs and tigers . . . ahhhhh. With the prospect of white supremacist Richard Barrett coming out to rally support for the old mascot, I'm beginning to feel quite mulish. http://www.thedmonline.com/vnews/display.v/ART/2003/10/10/3f8661fb188c0?in_archive=1
