Longtime Senate spending leaders departing
The Associated Press, 11/20/8 They are old bulls both, legendary for fiercely lording over the Senate Appropriations Committee and funneling billions to their home states. But while Sens. Robert Byrd, D-W.Va., and Ted Stevens, R-Alaska, will no longer be leading the panel, the congressional habit of doling out earmarks is unlikely to change. If anything,…

Race played its usual role in Mississippi voting this month
The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal Editorial, 11/20/8 The Nov. 4 election did more than result in the election of the first African-American president. It well could have sounded the death knell of the Nixon-era-born Republican Southern Strategy that for three decades converted the once-solid Democratic South to a GOP bastion. Mississippi began soldiering along with…

Tobacco: State can finally start to catch up
The Clarion-Ledger Editorial, 11/20/8 When then-state Attorney General Mike Moore was the first to successfully sue Big Tobacco for its responsibility in smoking-related illnesses, it appeared Mississippi would lead the nation in such health issues.

Whatever it is isn’t enough in Saban’s world
Whatever it is isn’t enough in Saban’s world What is, is. Sometimes that sounds like a cop-out, an act of resignation, as if to say, “nothing is going to change, so why talk about it?” It is one of Alabama coach Nick Saban’s favorite answers when he is asked one of those hypothetical questions he…

Attorneys want Seale released from prison
The Clarion-Ledger, 11/19/8 A reputed Ku Klux Klansman should not face months of “potentially unnecessary and unlawful imprisonment” as the government appeals his acquittal in the kidnappings of two black teenagers found dead in 1964, his attorneys argue. James Ford Seale, 73, was convicted last year on kidnapping and conspiracy charges in the abductions of…

Tobacco study critical of Miss.
The Clarion-Ledger, 11/19/8 Mississippi was the first in the nation to sue the tobacco industry in the 1990s but spends about a fourth of what a Washington-based advocacy group says it should on tobacco-prevention efforts.
