Re: “Tom Cotton's attack on the Constitution

Mountain girl--thanks for the background posting.
Now to set the record straight, it is not the soviets that Cotton is drawing on, it's Hitler and the Third Reich.

Re: “Mississippi aims to jail women for stillbirths, miscarriages

What is Mississippi going to do if all those miscarriages are stopped? What nursing care will be provided? Mental health services? Schools? Food, clothing and shelter?

Re: “Gov. Beebe says he'll appoint treasurer soon

Love Jimmie Lou, but she's older than me, so not a viable candidate--age does slow one down. But Bunny Adcock? If the Governor of Arkansas cannot name a viable Democrat to replace Shoffner, then the party is in worse shape than I thought, and that is bad.

Re: “UPDATE: FBI confirms State Treasurer Martha Shoffner's arrest, apparently for official misconduct

Everyone does deserve their day in court. But like Citizen, I am chagrined by the lack of push in my party of choice.

With tar sand piles and IRS debacles, it's like a bad dream from which you cannot wake up.

Re: “UPDATE: State college scholarship cuts run deep

Anyway you look at it, the students lose. I used to think that the state funded the universities so that local students could go for relatively little with a job on the side. Now we have coaches listed as the highest paid employees of more states than not. Obviously priorities are skewed.

Re: “Morning report: Sherwood affirms electric deal; end to free parking

Today's Dem Gazette features Baby James story on page 4E & 5E.
Thanks to his parents, and their work with the Arkansas Legislature, newborn screenings for SCIDs will go into effect before the end of the year.
