Haley Barbour on House deliberations on Medicaid
“For the past two days, the House leadership has wasted taxpayer money by holding unconstitutional votes on raising cigarette taxes to fund Medicaid. Each time, the measure has failed.

Susan Sarandon’s Histrionics
Susan Sarandon’s Histrionics Seems Susan Sarandon has threatened to move to Canada or Italy if John McCain is elected president.

Barbour conceding point on jobless pay
The Greenwood Commonwealth, 5/29/8 It wasn’t a pretty way for the House to get at the root problem of Mississippi’s ridiculously low weekly benefits for jobless workers to tie up the State Employment Service agency’s re-enactment with an amendment aimed at stopping state ad money going to right-wing radio talk shows.
