New Yorker caricature of Obama causing a stir
Is the New Yorker’s Muslim Obama cover incendiary or satire? The cover of this week’s New Yorker magazine depicts Obama in one-piece Muslim garb and headdress fist-bumping his booted, Afro-wearing wife Michelle in camo clothes with a rifle and ammo-belt slung over her shoulder beneath a portrait of Osama bin-Laden while the American flag burns…

Red/Blue on Musgrove
Ronnie Musgrove’s legacy Maybe Roger Wicker will have to defend the record of the Bush administration as Jere suggests.

MANUFACTURED LAWSUITS – The cost of crooked lawyers
MANUFACTURED LAWSUITS – The cost of crooked lawyers Former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger once wryly observed that “10 percent of the politicians go around giving the other 90 percent a bad name.” These days, the same could be said for the growing ranks of disgraced personal injury trial lawyers who over just the last…

KALICH – Feds going overboard in prosecuting Melton
Feds going overboard in prosecuting Melton As erratic as Melton is, though, it’s overkill for the U.S. Justice Department to be dogging him over an incident for which he has already been acquitted of criminal charges in a state court.

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.

HAMPTON – Haley Barbour in Medicaid ‘Snake Pit’
Politics of Medicaid dangerous territory Gov. Haley Barbour is knee-deep in that snake pit right now.

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. The indictment spells trouble for the mayor, who has fought one battle after another since he’s occupied the city’s top office, largely because of his own actions. Melton has never denied having…

Can Ronnie Musgrove win by raising only 14% that of Roger Wicker?
Challenger’s Challenge So how do this year’s Democratic challengers stack up? A couple of candidates are in good shape, at least on the fundraising front. Through May 21, Maine Rep. Tom Allen (D) raised $3.9 million, giving him 72 percent of Sen. Susan Collins’ (R) total raised. And in Minnesota, comedian Al Franken (D) actually…

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.
