Our View: Looking out for the little guy
Wednesday, Mississippi's Public Service Commission sent an unequivocal message to Mississippi Power: You will not gamble with the rate-payers' money.
Slimantics: When a win is really a loss
When The 5th District Court of Appeals overturned a lower court ruling against Mississippi's HB1523, also known as "Protecting Freedom of Conscience from Government Discrimination Act," on Thursday, a lot of folks didn't know whether to shrug their shoulders or set their hair on fire and run down the street.
Froma Harrop: Morality tale at Uber: Reputation still counts
Travis Kalanick helped found and build Uber into a corporate giant worth more than Ford Motor Co. On Tuesday, Uber's board effectively fired Kalanick.
Our View: Is Mickens underpaid or under a rock?
Imagine it is your first day on a new job. What's the first thing you do?
Voice of the people: Lee Roy Lollar
Bernard Goldberg: Cowards of academia
One of the nice things about summer is that school is out and, at least for a few months, we'll get a welcome break from those sanctimonious liberal snowflakes on college campus who manage to prove that old saying about how the lunatics have taken over the asylum.
Our View: Turner's good qualities should not be forgotten
Marty Turner was a no-show Tuesday in what would have been his last official meeting as a Columbus City councilman.
Voice of the people: Bob Altman
Steve Chapman: Political violence: 'As American as cherry pie'
Someday, I hope, I'll sit a couple of grandkids on my lap and tell them about the days when Americans abstained from political violence and settled all our differences peaceably through the democratic process. Or maybe I'll pick a different fairy tale.
Our View: Eating out is good for us
One way you can perform your civic duty is by eating. Sounds too good to be true, right?
Voice of the people: Cameron Triplett
Wyatt Emmerich: The most Southern place on earth
In a world changing at an ever-increasing pace, the spring convocation of the Delta Council stands as a monument to the old days.
Possumhaw: Brown-eyed beggar boy
Often, I am amazed at how much the world is changing, but none more so than last week when I stopped at the gas station for gas and a cup of Southern Pecan coffee.
Charlie Mitchell: The scourge of cell-phone telemarketing
Antony, foreseeing chaos in the aftermath of the murder of Julius Caesar, intoned, "Cry 'Havoc!,' and let slip the dogs of war." In more contemporary artistry with words, the Baha Men gave us, "Who let the dogs out? Who? Who? Who? Who?"
Ask Rufus: A crutch's story
On Friday the Billups-Garth Foundation presented to the S.D. Lee Home a 153-year-old wooden crutch with the owner's name carved across it. It is a grand example of how confusing history can be.
