...Mississippians can take heart in one fact: most states are going through similar crises. Medicaid has grown too expensive, and with the economy only starting to recover, state budgets can't bear the costs anymore. This dilemma arises just as Americans need Medicaid more than ever before. Last year, Medicaid covered 44 million Americans at a cost of $224 billion, with states kicking in 42% of that money. During the same period, 2 million Americans lost their employer-provided health insurance. So just as more people need help, states are being forced to either limit eligibility for coverage or pare...
...apartment next to me (thin walls, people!) and plays his trombone at 4 A.M.? Do I have to make nice with the woman whose dog inevitably leaves a little gift just outside the door of my building?

Inside the grand four-story colonial building, the sweeping staircase and threadbare red carpet bear witness to a glittering past and can coax out the romantic in anyone. There are more luxurious hotels in the capital, sure, but do any of them set out birdbaths for a resident colony of sparrows...
...that Saddam's pursuit of wmds justifies war in the near future. After all, ask critics, hasn't he been seeking them for two decades? Why should we fight now? Is it just a desire by George Bush to finish what his daddy failed to, and by Blair to bear any burden necessary to snuggle with Uncle Sam? If Saddam does get these weapons, won't he be deterred from using them by fear of retaliation that would annihilate his country? Officials think they have serious answers to all those questions, but that people are now too somnolent...
