I know for a fact she is NOT a racist bigot, and she has never referred to President Lincoln as a Nazi!

Someday, Yoss, the worms will turn in Arkansas. I just hope it happens in my lifetime. I've only got a decade or two at most left.

There will be no original thinking coming from our new Republican legislature so their wacky bills will originate from other GOP wackjobs they've see on their TV sets. The game will be connecting the Arkansas idiot with the Republican Governor, Republican House member or Republican Red State Attorney General who originated the bad idea.

Gator Hutchinson is channeling Florida's skeletal freak of a governor Rick Scott in wanting to drug test the punchable portion of our population before they can have food to eat. So he's Gator Rick Scott Hutchinson.

Of course this game might be complicated due to the fact that often 2 wing nuts from different states will file slightly different bills designed to do the same thing. But we'll work that out in the future. I've got a good hunch who'll be our version of Michele Bachmann, but I'll keep that under my hat for now.

He's admitted that he used campaign funds to purchase sexual favors. Isn't there a violation of some of those hyper-morality laws he joyously supports?

Oh, I forgot, his clan of cheats and whore-mongers are exempt from the laws he imposes on the rest of us.

I'm still waiting for the blood pressure medicine to kick in. Note to self: don't blog when I'm pissed off.

Ask Sec of State Mark Martin how many on his staff did a mandatory drug test before getting hired? Guv's Office? Drug tests for employment are at discretion of employer.

Good question. I thought the Republicans required a corresponding budget cut to be identified whenever any new spending was introduced.

In fact, NOT owning a gun ought to be reasonable cause for the government to administer a drug test, because in this age of violence anyone who isn't packing has something wrong with them.

Whatever happened to Republicans who supported less government intrusion in the lives of its citizens? I guess that only works on property rights and guns, but not when it comes to women rights and the unemployed.

I am beginning to wonder if there is anyone in the Arkansas House or Senate that has any integrity, other than Stephanie Flowers and a few others.

Until Citizens United decision is overturned there won't be enough local money to elect a dogcatcher. When Ark Repub legislative races attract over one million dollars in outside spending there's no sense in trying to oppose it.
Charlie Collins, R-Gunshop, was on regional tv seeking his Ark house slot in East Fayetteville. Campaign mail-outs, billboards, phone banks and tv ads cost money, lots of money.

Demos could also lower their high filing fees which can be a deterrent to local candidates.

Ark Demos thought the Democratic Party rose and set in central Ark for the past few decades.

More homeless, hungry, desperate drug/alcohol addled human beings.

Will be interesting to see where Mark drug test everyone for everything Pryor comes down on this angle.

If Arkansas Dems don't get back in the game, we can expect more Twinkles in our future than we are already plagued by. My senate district did not even put up a candidate to oppose Bryan King, ferchrissake!

And kudos to Senator Flowers.
