Horned grebes on Lake Dardanelle

Not trying to turn the blog into a travelog, but chalk up our sparse posting this weekend to a) too much to do getting ready for Thanksgiving, b) Thanksgiving, c) being loaded down with too much food to think straight, d) hiking it off and e) heading up to Lake Dardanelle to see two birds that ought to be out West somewhere, Western grebes, and regular winter visitors (but still great to see) horned grebes (horned grebes in pix above, by birder Kenny Nations; click to enlarge. Sorry, no pix of Westerns). Thanks to keen-eyed birder friends on the lake, we got to see these birds, and you all had a lazy blog.

Promise to do better tomorrow. Tonight's main distraction: "Homeland."

Re: UPDATE: University of Arkansas Board votes to keep guns off campuses

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.

The Little Rock metropolitan area (which includes Conway, Sen. Rapert) is a place with a rich and deep religious tradition.

The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee is going after expected Republican Senate candidate Tom Cotton over his wacky idea to automatically punish relatives of people who violate sanctions on Iran.

The Arkansas Supreme Court today reversed a lower court and said Searcy County Sheriff and Collector Kenny Cassell's 1979 conviction on a federal misdemeanor theft charge for stealing Cornish hens from a Tyson's interstate shipment made him ineligible to hold office.

Thanks to Clinton vet Ben Mays, a former member of the state Board of Education and a long-time critic of Arkansas school districts that spend execessively on athletics, for this nugget.

Public for the first time, the woman who married Damien Echols discusses their relationship

For the vegetarian banh mi sandwich.

Our news partner Channel 4 has a news story that deserves repetition in full. More national headlines for the small people of Arkansas should follow directly.

Perhaps U.S. Rep. Tim Griffin might want to reconsider his earlier decision not to include Republican Rep. Loy Mauch on the list of Republican candidates he'd asked not to use his campaign contributions, having read some of what they'd written.
