End-of-Day Miscellany: "Updates! Getchyer Updates Here!" Edition
I see. So, what you’re saying is that even though you are an almost-paralyzed, multiphobic personality who is in a constant state of panic, your wife did not leave you; you left her because she … didn’t get to this…
AR-Sec. State: Mo' Money, Mo' Problems
It’s a funny thing, being really obsessive about fact-checking and following leads. For example, most people who were reviewing a list of donors to a campaign would not take the time to verify that those PACs were properly formed. I…

AR-Lt. Gov: Someone Want To Tell Darr What A Lt. Gov. Does?
Mark Darr has graced us with a new television ad. The good news? He’s not a career politician! The bad news? He seems to have zero clue what the role of Lieutenant Governor entails. First, the obvious: Darr says that…
AR-02: New Motto For The Dem-Gaz Opinion Page — "Like Fox News, Only With A Much Smaller Audience"
I finally got around to reading the pro-Timmy! Griffin op-ed that appeared in the “Democrat”-Gazette a few days ago. Even by that paper’s standards, the column was disgusting. Let’s get right to dissecting this thing. LITTLE ROCK — WITH THE…
