Make The Veto Worth The Paper It's Written On
We interrupt your regularly scheduled bashing of Arkansas Republicans and their ridiculous ideas for a moment of praise for one Republican lawmaker. First, an observation. I have two kids — a twelve-year-old son and a three-year-old daughter. Despite the gender…
Mid-Day Miscellany
“Well, if it was a link-dump, I wouldn’t ask questions; I’d just quote a price. But then, a link-dump is a non-lethal object, isn’t it?” Content partner Roby Brock reports that opinions are pretty varied on two specific tax cuts…

#ARElections: AR Times Calls AR-Gov for Mike Beebe
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.
#ARElections: Live Updates
My plan is to begin updating statewide and AR federal races (as well as some state house/senate races as time allows) as soon as the polls close and results start rolling in. So, you know, refresh often and whatnot. (And,…
