New Yorker caricature of Obama causing a stir
Is the New Yorker’s Muslim Obama cover incendiary or satire?

PENDER – Medicaid crisis isn’t about health, it’s about politics
Medicaid crisis isn’t about health, it’s about politics But really, what we have here isn’t a crisis. It’s just politics.

AGNEW – Federal case may prove hard to beat
Federal case may prove hard to beat As an investigatory agency, they don’t get more thorough than the FBI and Melton knows it.

ZIEMBA – Why Scruggs matters to you
Why Scruggs matters to you Poking fun of politically connected fat cats is easy, but what do Dickie Scruggs’ crimes have to do with you? Plenty.
