  • Correction of terms with our apologies

        In a column written by James R. Gray and published in The New Albany Gazette on Wednesday, February 11, 2009, the word “warped” was used in reference to an alleged interpretation of the laws of the State of Mississippi by New Albany City Attorney, Robert M.

  • Senate backbone continues to lack enough strength to override veto

          The success of the Mississippi House of Representatives to override Governor Haley Barbour’s veto of the bill  providing much needed public protection from the now unrestricted eminent domain powers and the failure of the Mississippi State Senate to have the backbone to finish the job for the people of this state, most certainly points out where the changes in state elected officials need to be made first.

         The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has won the fifth annual Rosemary Award for the worst Freedom of Information Act performance by a federal agency.

  • 545 People

    By Charlie Reese

      Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them.

     Have you ever wondered, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are against deficits, WHY do we have deficits?

        Have you ever wondered, if all the politicians are against inflation and high taxes, WHY do we have inflation and high taxes?

        You and I don’t propose a federal budget.  The President does.
