Medicaid: Showdown finally comes in January
The Clarion-Ledger Editorial, 11/24/8 The public has heard “The sky is falling!” so many times over Medicaid, it could very well tune it out, but a showdown really is looming in January.

Rivalries matter even with little on the line Throw out the record books. Please. Alright, alright, so this year’s batch of end-of-the-year rivalry showdowns, well, stinks. At least it does on paper. There aren’t any end-of-the-universe, this-year’s-game-of-the-millennium epics that’ll stop the world from spinning for a few short hours, but that doesn’t mean these games…

State’s earmarks are very well spent
The Hattiesburg American Editorial, 11/23/8 Critics call it pork barrel politics when members of Congress send federal dollars back home for pet projects.

Majority, seniority woes
The Clarion-Ledger Editorial, 11/23/8 Democrats will control the White House and hold dominating majorities in both the U.S. Senate and the U.S. House in the 111th Congress.
