Beth Anne Rankin’s recent foray into the world of lyrics and digital synthesizers gave me an idea for a post. Namely, if all the important candidates were going to compile a double-CD release of songs that best define their campaigns,…

AR-Sen: A Little More About That Photo
It’s not that I particularly care that John Boozman used logos, names, and images associated with the University of Arkansas football program. I mean, yeah, it seemed a little odd to me, just given that it is a state institution…
AR-Sen: Close Only Counts In Horseshoes, Hand Grenades, Halitosis, and (Apparently) Hogs
So, yesterday, while tracking the issue of U of A’s problems with John Boozman’s commercial, I wrote: My question, though, is whether Boozman actually addressed U of A’s concerns. As noted above, U of A explained that they “don’t generally…
Think Tank Memorial End-of-Day Miscellany
[For an explanation of the title, see here.] You, Flock of Seagulls … you know why we’re here? Why don’t you tell my man, Vincent, which links we didn’t get to today? Max takes issue with some apparent Republican hypocrisy…
AR-Sen: Oops.
I’ve made no secret of being less-than-impressed by Blanche Lincoln’s commercials, but I do have to give her a modicum of credit today. After all, at least she gets to keep hers on the air for more than a few…

I can’t decide if Blanche Lincoln keeps saying “23-percent sales tax” because she wants her statement to match the face of John Boozman’s proposed bill (and thus preempt any pro-Boozman whining about how the tax is “only” twenty-three percent) or…
Think Tank Memorial End-of-Day Miscellany
According to the Kubler-Ross model, there are five discrete stages people go through when dealing with grief or tragedy: denial (“No…no…this isn’t happening! Lalalalalala, I can’t hear you!!” /sticks fingers in ears), anger (“ARGH! Me smash things! Stupid grief!!! /punches…
AR-Sen: Don't Know Much About History
Just how poorly is Blanche Lincoln polling right now? Worse than any “true” incumbent in history. If Lincoln does little to improve her standing in the polls, she will be in the running for the worst showing of any true…
AR-Sen: Lincoln Twin Bill
Along with the ad Jeff mentioned earlier, Senator Blanche Lincoln released a second ad regarding her position on healthcare reform. /crickets //tumbleweeds ///random guy in the background lets loose a single cough ////people nervously look at one another as the…
