AR-Sec. State: A van down by the river
Thoughts, reactions, and (mainly) unnecessarily sarcastic comments regarding Seth Blomeley’s fluffy Democrat-Gazette feature on Secretary of State-elect Mark Martin from last Sunday. “I had the opportunity to deliver checks from the committee to the politicians here in Arkansas,” Martin said.…
AR-House Dist. 41: Total Coincidence, I'm Sure
Yesterday, Max did a post about Rep. Ed Garner’s introduction of his capital-gains bill, and, in the post, he linked to an allbusiness.com reprint of a Democrat-Gazette article, writing: Rep. Ed Garner, the Republican sales and income tax deadbeat from…
Adventures In Idiocy: The Worst Letter To The Editor, November 11, 2010
The dumb letters to the editor in yesterday’s Democrat-Gazette were just your run-of-the-mill, garden-variety type, and none really warranted a post. You knew THAT couldn’t last, however. Now when men like Clyde Holloway of Searcy were out there to opine…
Adventures In Idiocy: The Worst Letter To The Editor, November 9, 2010

No surprise there. The real question is whether Shane Broadway and (to a lesser extent) other down-ballot Dems can ride Beebe’s coattails into office. Update: NBC News agrees with Arkansas Times. Or vice versa. Whatever.
AR-Constitution: Proposed Amendment 1, Arkansas Hunting Rights Amendment (2010)
[Author’s Note: I started writing this last night (Monday) and planned to finish it early today, but my internet connection had other ideas. Great timing for that, huh?] There seems to be a bit of confusion surrounding proposed amendment 1.…
AR-Sec. State: Dr. Strangebilling (Or How Mark Learned To Stop Worrying And Bilk The Taxpayer)
Republican candidate for Secretary of State Mark Martin is the gift that keeps on giving, and, by “giving,” I mean “finding ways to suck taxpayer money into his own pocket.” His problems abiding by certain rules for office reimbursements are…
AR-02: Greenberg Hearts Timmy!
Considering that Paul Greenberg has been Timmy! Griffin’s most consistent fluffer for months now, it was not the least bit surprising to see that the Democrat-Gazette endorsed Timmy! yesterday. Nearly twice the length of most of the D-G’s endorsements 1,…
