Arkansas Media KUAR beg-a-thon alert

Posted by Max Brantley on Thu, Oct 18, 2012 at 6:05 AM

Today's the day to do your duty.

KUAR, the public radio station in Little Rock (which also operates the classical music outlet KLRE from UALR) is in its semi-annual fund-raising drive.

I'll be raising money as usual this week BUT WITH A KEY DIFFERENCE.

I have a conflict Friday morning, during my normal last-day time slot. So Rosi Smith of Arkansas Children's Hospital and I will instead beg for support from 6:30 a.m. to 9 a.m. TODAY. That's TODAY, Thursday.

It's simple call:

569-8485

1-800-952-2528

Or, on the web, at kuar.org.

The usual blog match will be in operation. Mention the Arkansas Blog when you make a pledge and I'll match up to $10 of your contribution. Identify yourself as a Republican and I'll make it $20.

Tom Cotton's attack on the Constitution

Several people sent links this morning to yet another odd performance by U.S. Rep. Tom Cotton, already distinguished by his opposition to replenishing to country's disaster aid money unless it can be taken out of some other recipient's hide.

'A Loss of Roses' a stunner

Before last Friday night, the saddest, most "depressing" Depression-era story I had read was Horace McCoy's "They Shoot Horses, Don't They?" However, after watching The Arkansas Repertory Theatre's opening performance of William Inge's "A Loss of Roses," I can attest that this play is as rough and unflinching as that Depression-era tale, or any other.

Loy Mauch update: The Republican rep is on record on slavery, too
