Meals on Wheels volunteers more than delivery people
We applaud all who take part in Meals on Wheels, and especially those volunteers who take much more than just food to recipients. Volunteers are often the only contact many homebound seniors have with the rest of the world, and Meals on Wheels provides them with a friend, a confidant and someone who will check on their safety and well-being.

Red, white & blue volunteers needed
Now's your chance to help light up the sky over Oxford by helping put on the popular July 4th community celebration. News Editor Jonathan Scott goes over some of the positions and duties open that local officials are hoping local citizens will help fill as the planning continues for the summer celebration.

Lions, tigers and bears (oh my), will leave you wondering what's a goon to an African? With a few grunt like chants in the beginning and some hard-hitting verses, Blink proves he's an Animal on his latest Booth feature. The Lagos, Nigeria native delivers a solid cut from his upcoming American Dreams/ African Principles project, coming soon. Kurtis Toledo lays down the beat for the emcee who grew up being exposed to Afro beat, disco, rock, blues, jazz and more by his parents. You can feel that diversity and energy on Animal, as Blink feeds his hunger for Hip-Hop like a hippopotamus.

It's a big country, where states have their own legal peculiarities, political cultures and definitions of what makes a debilitating political scandal. Take Texas, for example, where the Republican governor, Rick Perry, has been indicted for abuse of office.
from Stories I'd like to see:
What's the real story behind the Rick Perry 'case?'
By now there should have been a pile on of stories shedding light on just how ridiculous the indictment of Texas governor Rick Perry is. Perry was indicted last Friday by a grand jury in Travis County, Texas, which includes the state capital of Austin. His alleged crime: "abuse of power" – for threatening to veto a provision in a pending state law that would fund a corruption unit in the office of the Travis Country prosecutor unless the prosecutor herself resigned.
from Nicholas Wapshott:
I'm Ronald Reagan! No, I'm Reagan! No, over here, I'm the real Reagan!
Did anyone hear the crack of a starting pistol? Nor me. But the race to become the Republican presidential nominee in 2016 is on.

from The Great Debate:
California v. Texas in fight for the future
It is not a national election year, but the "red state versus blue state" wars continue. Texas Governor Rick Perry's recent foray into California, to lure away businesses and jobs, signals more than a rivalry between these two mega-states. The Texas-California competition represents the political, economic and cultural differences driving American politics today – and for the foreseeable future.
from The Great Debate:
Dems shouldn't mess with Texas
There has been much ado lately about the Democratic Party's new project to turn Texas blue. What's lost on the liberals in D.C., California and Manhattan who will throw money at this futile effort, however, is that the Texas Republican Party is different and far stronger than its counterparts in other states. And it's not just because the Lone Star State under Republican control has become the envy of the nation in terms of job creation and economic growth.
from Tales from the Trail:
Washington Extra – Home alone
When it comes to fixing the housing market in this election year, it's a battle between the "ineffective" and the "do-nothing."
from Tales from the Trail:
Perry stands ground on Turkey
Given an opportunity to revise (back down or retract) his comments he made in Monday's Republican debate linking Turkey to "Islamic terrorists," Texas Governor Rick Perry stood his ground on Tuesday.
from Tales from the Trail:
Rick Perry lags in home state of Texas
Tuesday only got worse for Texas Governor Rick Perry whose comments about Turkey in a debate last night got him lambasted by foreign policy experts, the Turkish press, and the Turkish government in Ankara.
from Tales from the Trail:
Reuters Washington Extra – Behind the numbers
At last night's debate, Mitt Romney said he'd be happy to release his tax returns in April. But today he disclosed a crucial piece of information as the clamor grew for him to come out with his returns. The frontrunner to clinch the Republican nomination has a tax rate that "is probably closer to 15 percent than anything."
