Role swapping is not an acceptable means to correct the atrocities against African American students in the LRSD from past decades. If LRSD administrators need a reminder of those dysfunctional times, then I recommend a field trip to a school in Harrison or Searcy for the day.

"This Christmas, just like every Christmas since 1967, there will be light on a seven-story statue of Jesus that overlooks Eureka Springs from Magnetic Mountain.

Two floodlights pointing toward the Christ of the Ozarks are scheduled to be turned back on around sundown tonight .

The lights were turned off last month - for the first time in 45 years - to save money on electricity.
.....
Private donors have volunteered to pay the electric bill and turn the lights back on at least through the Christmas season, said Keith Butler, chairman of the nonprofit Elna M. Smith Foundation, which operated the Passion Play.

Butler said the electric bill for the two 10,000-watt floodlights is about $200 a month in the winter.

"Weird, Political Editor Lockwood."

Nothing weird about it. Regardless of what is written about them it's the most biased and slanted newspaper one will find anywhere close to these parts. I refused to pay their additional $28 mo fee in addition to the regular fee paid for the NWA edition.

That $273 is like a hotel's rack rate, almost no one will pay it.

Everyone but Eeyore will be able to tell the difference between him and whoever is on the other side.

I made a crack about the capitulation of Villines and Central Arkansas Water to the developer forces during my absence. It is sad that the Kochs and Murphy billions and, most odiously, the Arkansas Farm Bureau, call the shots on protection of the water supply for Central Arkansas, but it is also wholly unsurprising. There's a figleaf of protection in what's still on the table -- presuming it can pass the Quorum Court. The damage will be long-term, by small but certain steps, sort of like the frog slowly boiling in a pot of water. My generation is probably OK. The next one and the next? That's another matter and always what these big arguments are about. People are too easily swayed by the likes of the irrelevant USGS report that raises no alarm about the next few years.

Hell no, that "newspaper" (?) did not mention her name, because they still believe the circuit court (The Honorable Ellen B. Brantley) and jurors were wrong in ruling against the insurance company in the first place.

And now, to make matters even worse, all 7 members of the Arkansas Supreme Court (6 of whom are not named in the article) are just as wrong, even though the Doctor operated on the wrong side of a child's brain and the Hospital actively participated in trying to cover it up to the child's parents!

Shouldn't our legal system protect Insurance Companies from these types of excessive verdicts?

Went to the All-American Rejects concert at Juanita's last night on Clinton Ave, and have pictures up from the concert. They came on at 10pm and gave about 1 hr and 40 minute concert. Lots of profanity from Tyson Ritter who has recently admitted that his song "Beekeeper's Daughter" was a satirical look at how he disrespected women the two years he lived in LA (around 2008 to 2009) and that he had learned from that time that he was a jerk.

Judging from the way he spoke about ladies at the concert he still has a few lessons to learn in the future.
