Miss. school prom off after lesbian's date request

By SHELIA BYRD, Associated Press Writer – 13 mins ago

JACKSON, Miss. – A northern Mississippi school district will not be hosting a high school prom this spring after a lesbian student sought to attend with her girlfriend and wear a tuxedo.

The Itawamba County school district's board decided Wednesday to drop the prom because of what it called recent distractions but without specifically mentioning the girl's request, which was backed by the American Civil Liberties Union.

The student, 18-year-old high school senior Constance McMillen, said the cancellation was retaliation for her efforts to bring her girlfriend, also a student, to the April 2 dance.

"A bunch of kids at school are really going to hate me for this, so in a way it's really retaliation," McMillen told The Clarion-Ledger of Jackson. Calls to McMillen by The Associated Press late Wednesday went unanswered.

He doesn't have Native Arkie Parents. John Daly=typical Arkansas Native. Most Native Arkansans aren't fans of the Washington Caps.

Sort of like when Burt Bacharach was having his horses bred in Maryland, or Virginia.

Edwards mistress: 'We love each other very much'

RALEIGH, N.C. – John Edwards' mistress Rielle Hunter said in an interview released Monday they are still in love, even if their relationship turned into something "different" around the time he acknowledged the affair in 2008.

Hunter told GQ magazine that the two immediately had a connection when they met at a New York City hotel in 2006. She didn't describe the details of their relationship but said he is a great father who wants to be there full-time for their daughter, now 2.

"We love each other very much. And that hasn't changed, and I believe that will be till death do us part," she said. She added that "our connection is profound."

Hunter recalled the first night she met Edwards in New York, saying she knew that she was a special person to him.

"He in fact did say to me the first night, 'Falling in love with you could really (expletive) up my plans for becoming President,'" she said.(at least priorities were straight. why worry about wife and young kids?!)

Hunter said she told him he shouldn't run for the White House and suggested he at least wait until April 2007 because her intuition and astrology suggested he would have a difficult first three months of the year. Elizabeth Edwards' cancer returned in March of that year. Hunter said John Edwards wanted to exit the race but that Elizabeth Edwards wanted him to stay in.

Curt, do yourself a favor and find other sources for news than local Jax. The Florida Times Union isn't even good enough to wrap fish in.
