St. Paul Pioneer Press Columnist Jim Ragsdale apologized to South Mississippians today for describing Mississippi as “a cesspool” in a video posted on the newspaper’s Web site as an attempt at humor to lure Brett Favre back for another season as quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings.
In the snow-shoveler's defense, it's an obvious attempt at humor, and I would have simply issued a get-a-life statement to anybody pretending to be bent out of shape over the video.
As an aside, all news sites have some pretty dumb commenters, but the Sun Herald has to be near the top with illiterate and/or illogical statements. (In general, not necessarily to the story linked to above.)
