In the last 12 months, did you or your children: Eat less than you felt you should because there wasn't enough money for food? Not eat, even though you were hungry, because there wasn't enough money for food? Lose weight because there wasn't enough money for food? Or, not eat for a whole day because there wasn't enough money for food?

The South’s report card on AIDS -related issues isn’t good. This week, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced that the South leads the nation in the percentage of AIDS -related deaths. CDC figures also show that 46 percent of new HIV and AIDS cases were in Dixie, a figure that might be higher were it not for the social stigma that many still attach to being tested.

Give Georgia Gov. Sonny Perdue a modicum of credit: He won’t give up. You’d think a sense of impending loss would force Gov. Bob Riley’s water-war foil to attempt contrite behavior. But, no, Georgia’s embattled governor seems intent on taking the tri-state water down to its final day, whenever that may be.

A U.S. District judge in South Carolina ruled last week that it was illegal for the state to promote Christianity on license plates. At issue was a plan by Lt. Gov. Andre Bauer to offer a car tag with the words, "I Believe." The tag also would feature a large cross and a replica of a stained-glass window.

I didn't ask Karl Eschrig if he thought McClellan's military heritage should not only be preserved, but promoted, marketed and enhanced. My mistake.

On Monday, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force took a step backward in the fight against breast cancer. The task force announced that it would no longer recommend routine mammograms for women between the ages of 40 and 49, a group that accounts for about one out of six breast cancers. The recommendation is based on data that find that mammograms do reduce the risk of death in these women, but apparently not enough deaths to recommend that all women 40 to 49 should be screened.

Nearly every Republican these days calls for tax cuts and lower deficits, and in the same sentence. Point out that these goals clash — that taxes pay for government and not paying for government causes deficits, and the Republican counters, "We must shrink government, instead."
