BONER CANDIDATE #1: ONCE THAT MONEY COMES TO MISSISSIPPI WE CAN DO WHAT WE WANT.

NFL Hall of Fame quarterback Brett Favre’s name has surfaced in an alleged multimillion-dollar welfare fraud scheme in his home state of Mississippi.  An audit of funds intended to assist at-need Mississippi residents alleges that the state’s Department of Human Services oversaw more than $94 million in improperly spent federal money. According to the state audit released on Monday, $1.1 million of those funds went to Favre for appearances he did not make.
