Obama’s ‘no income taxes on seniors’ draws critics
If you’re a senior citizen and make less than $50,000 a year, Barack Obama has a deal for you: the rest of your life free of federal income tax. Sounds appealing, right? Maybe to many seniors. But tax policy experts in Washington are giving it bad reviews. They see it as another subsidy for senior…

LAWANDMORE – Edwards’s scandal ensnares “asbestos lawsuit king” Fred Baron
Edwards’s scandal ensnares “asbestos lawsuit king” Fred Baron Baron’s enabling role doesn’t sit well with, among others, Texans for Lawsuit Reform.

There are ducks at the beef plant? Really?

LLOYD GRAY:Wicker must win big in 1st District to beat Musgrove
The matchup between Roger Wicker and Ronnie Musgrove is the first competitive U.S. Senate race in Mississippi in 20 years.
