(January 17, 2007) 31st & Pearl He's Baaack!! The re-emergence in the CoB of Stephen Bushardt
(pronounced"Bush-heart") is something to behold. The self-proclaimed wine aficionado, now known to his
new, unsuspecting students as Dr. Stephen Bushardt (pronounced "Boo-shard"), is as active as ever. Why not?
His recent foray into CoB politics was, like days of old, a resounding success.
(January 22, 2007) usmpride.com News . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . DEVELOPING STORY HATTIESBURG --- A first-time
(and unexpected) source dropped by the usmpride.com News offices and let us know that a plan was in the

following too much, but here goes: that essay likely passed for scholarship, and thus a raise for Bushardt, at
the time. Knowing Bushardt – “Life is good, no?” – like we all do, it’s hard to imagine that this essay is not part
of a whole series of Managing essays from the master “manipulator” himself.
