With Monday's announcement from Washington concerning the possible replacement for former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, The Star's editorial board is weighing in on the possibilities for Michael Mukasey:
Perhaps the best Americans can hope for with the nomination of Mukasey is the Robert Gates model. Gates, who replaced Donald Rumsfeld as defense secretary, is (a.) a straight-shooter, (b.) a foreign-policy realist and (c.) not a Bush crony.
The Star also is suggesting that Jacksonville State University ought to consider promoting its best features more frequently:
Somewhere within the master plan of JSU’s Board of Trustees should be this: Put the Marching Southerners on display. Give them a stage larger than Paul Snow Stadium. They represented Saturday night in Memphis. They could be the best recruiters currently wearing JSU red.
