Mississippi Country Roads

Today, my friend Chris and I drove the back roads from Jackson, MS to Ellisville, MS for a Make-A-Wish Foundation of Mississippi news conference. Along the way, we saw some beautiful rural scenery; but also some amazingly disturbing and provocative examples of religious expression...at least in our opinion. I wonder how Alexis de Tocqueville would muse about the state of American faith and polity today?! Chris and I would like to share our pictorial discoveries with you.




Did Aaron's golden calf grow up?



Yes, I would like a Happy Meal and could you please sodomize the fries, please.



Also, be prepared to stop for people preparing to meet their God!



This is just plain wrong?! Sheesh! If you knew baptists like I knew baptists, you would be experiencing shock and awe!



Thanks again, Chris, for providing the pictures on your Flickr Photostream! Any rights associated with these pictures are reserved by Chris Kennedy.

Yeesh. Ugly people doing ugly things. No wonder people avoid the south.

We're not all that bad. We are kind of like eating chutney...it takes a little while to get used to it; but, after a while you begin to appreciate our unique flavors, textures, and combinations.
