Re: “The worst Mother's Day gifts”
Nice work, Citizen. I love that story.
Re: “UA team wins MIT prize”
Excellent! Congratulations to this smart, young team. Two are scientists, one is an accountant and another has degrees in the humanities. They have all studied both inside and outside Arkansas, some internationally. These are outstanding people and their win is a big deal. Tbere is more to our state than ignorance and fear. These are the Arkansans we want to keep here, not drive away. Loved Max's observation about the tech park.
Re: “Wednesday night line”
Thanks, El – I have tried "mass photography" twice and both times failed. These are cool.
Steven E lost me at "climbed on the ... bodies of children." There's no need to read the rest after someone writes that.
Re: “Gubernatorial campaign underway: Ross spotted with liberals”
Halter is on the record in word and deed for equality - another reason he's my candidate. Unless I am mistaken, even this Shiite legislature did not propose any anti-gay measures. The country awaits the Supreme Court decision that may (we can only hope) eradicate federal discrimination and create a sweeping tide of justice. Ross sees the expediency of showing up to a Just Communities Dinner – Halter takes his seat as a known, activist friend. I'm going to vote and work for the candidate I really want and Arkansas is never going to drag itself back into the light and the 21st century until we do.
Re: “U.S. Senate strikes deal on gun regulation”
Understand what the NRA is saying: There is nothing - simply nothing - that can be done, ever, to avoid violence that is coming after YOU. You are helpless. The government AND the criminals are after you, the person reading these sentences. Get a gun, now! RUN to the store and arm yourself, now! Better buy some really scary guns and big clips too because the gubmint is ALWAYS trying to take the good ones. Keep one on your person and demand to carry it EVERYWHERE you go. Keep one in your car. Get some guns in the schools. Bring me that one from the living room, honey, (not the one from the laundry room, the kitchen or the dining room) and put it on my nightstand. Hurry! Better have a gun-toting friend accompany you out to the driveway and ride shotgun with you, to get you safely into the gun store because it could happen NOW while you are naked, helpless without your own gun.
Re: “McDaniel presses Exxon on oil spill info”
I'm surprised we haven't been spun off the roadways by the attorneys speeding to Mayflower, Ark. NOBODY should live in those houses ever again. The whole site is polluted to the point that cubic COUNTIES of soil should be removed. They're sodding the lawns?? Washing the street! Dabbing at the bitumen with paper towels?
The homeowners should be banded together immediately by one legal team and think of the biggest number they know – and Exxon would be miles ahead to meet it. The best thing that could ever happen to Exxon is to pay off these homeowners abundantly and pay someone else in hazmat gear to tenderly empty those homes and deliver the contents at the direction of the former residents. It's only money, gang, and Exxon has inconceivable resources in that regard. Anyone who goes back and gets sick – and we know they will – continues this case forever. It should be very easy for XOM to shell out the big bucks necessary to get all these homeowners out of the (liability) picture. It sickens me to point out that this would be Exxon's best strategy, just to draw a lovely veil over the whole scene of injury to homeowners.
But we're about to see how callous Exxon will be. If the homeowners move back in with some new sod covering over the lurking, deadly waste, Exxon will be glad to skirmish with them one at a time until the hereafter. That will cost Exxon less than nickels and dimes, relatively speaking. Pay 'em now or let them move back? What do y'all think will happen?
Yes, McDaniel should be in there with teams of investigators all day every day, followed by the press. He'd better make a big, big noise and so should the governor because the clock is ticking and the election of the ELITE Koch-suckers is drawing near. The State needs to go down swinging, valiantly – and save a few Arkansans, at least.

Re: “Basin Street Blues open line”
Outlier, Commander Hadfield is my new boyfriend so back off, woman. Had I the ability to still produce babies, they would all be his.
