Higher and higher

Arkansas pops up in disparate references in the Washington Post today, both turning, you might say, on higher aspirations.

And remember Webb Hubbell? The former Rose Law Firm lawyer and Clinton aide who went to prison for embezzlement is currently featured in an ad urging "responsible" marijuana smokers to buy life insurance.

Comments
