The piegate open line

Weird day. I've been consumed with Martha Shoffner's favorite pie.

The details of the federal charge against Martha Shoffner have been released in a criminal complaint from the FBI: I'll pass along as quickly as I can my notes from a reading of the complaint over the phone.
Judge Griffen reports on recuperation from bike accident

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.
TV producer Bryant Huddleston disinvited as Imboden Ark., high school graduation speaker because he's gay

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

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.
