Arkansas Blog

and don't forget..................Susie Gardner. Another of the incompetent gaggle.

Only one man for the job.

Nolan Richardson.

And by job, I mean Althletic Director.

Look for the job to go to Billy Gillespie of Texas A & M at a nice pay hike.

A Fayetteville friend pointed out the other day that Stan Milquetoast's phone # is not in the book. Nolan's IS and has been since he came to Fayetteville. Please, not another coach(in any sport or gender) with Lubner's disease.

Breaking a story before print is easier when you have an active blog, as AT has demonstrated repeatedly. We've all awakened to "old news" in D-G headlines, because we've already heard it here.

Does Hussman know that technology has progressed beyond hot air baloons, semaphore and telegraph? At least Cain has heard of Marconi. Wonder how long he'll keep his job.

Does this mean the Arkansas Times is throwing in the towel on its WEEKLY print edition? Since the "old media" is dead and gone, I guess that revenue question has been solved, and the looming threat of WEHCO invasion now made void.

But to paraphrase Umberto Eco, the Internet is a wonderful way to spread ideas but it robs the reader of an intimate relationship with them, resulting in a loss of substance in the wall between the Internet and the mind. We get the headline but the true meaning is often cast to the winds of blog and the accompanying bluster, posturing and arguing on which it was sent.

Little wonder we are becoming so superficial in our knowledge of our world, both near and far.

Break away, O ye prophets of the Web. Your flock is lowing like so many distracted, affected sheep.

Spare us your straw men, please, twofer.

Little wonder we are becoming so superficial in our knowledge of our world, both near and far.

Is that what is happening with all of this access to knowledge?
Thank gawd you came along to tell us.

Actually, Cain broke it after Bo Mattingly led with it on KNWA. Randy and Rick did not break it on their own, but waited until Cain came on a few minutes past the top of the hour.

On top of that, they didn't seem real surprised at the "breaking" news.

Now, if we can get Nutt to admit he was lying about Mazahn's hiring, or stick with his would-be recruiting violation story...

Way off topic here, but no place to post. Maybe I'm a little paranoid...but my gut tells me something is going on in the Middle East today/tonight.

First of all the President of Iraq Talibani has a stroke yesterday and is in intensive care and today the Vice President of Iraq was attacked and almost killed. Now we're told a blast at a base in Afghanistan which Satan Cheney just happens to be visiting at the time has apparently killed 19 and injured 11 non-US people 3 hours ago.

A US ambassador in Sri Lanka was also attacked today. And at this moment...2 am....nearly every one of my usual news outlets have nothing on the blast in Afghanistan.

CNN isn't reporting it, Fox isn't reporting it..has a worm turned? Thinking back to when Reagan got shot....could it be they're scraping up pieces of Cheney up off the tarmac and not releasing the news?

re: Cheney attack:

Revenge of the pheasants!!!

DBI - Heck Cheney has been running around the globe trying to hide from the Libby verdict or a seal v sealed indictment for a week. His plane has malfunctions when he departed Australia on Sat or Sun. He heads into Singapore for repairs on the way home and the next thing we hear he is having lunch in Pakistan, then dodging bombs in a base in Afghanistan. Who needs fiction? This guy is beyond bizzaro world. Darth Karma?

I actually caught a 10 second bit on MSNBC just now on Cheney in Afghanistan but hey we know the real news is found anywhere but on US television.

This is far from over..as we know. Heck most of our friends don't like us anymore. I cannot imagine what new enemies and old are prepared to do.
I seriously doubt the American public will wake up or the defense complex will eat humble pie before killing a whole lot more innocent people.

Anyway, fasten your seat-belt

FYI I found a new link that may prove to be handy for some folks

Great Post Eureka-
If future Americans get anything but sterilized history Cheney will have proven to be the most delusional person to ever run the Wht House. Nutso beyond your worst imagination.

Heh, saw this at Matilda's:

Unconfirmed FEMA Story

The unconfirmed story tonight is that FEMA showed up at President Bush's property at Crawford, Texas this evening as part of a new rapid response program. The Sheriff's Department there finally figured out the orders dispatching the FEMA team had been misinterpreted. Instead of hearing Dumas, the FEMA crew thought they had been told they were needed to lend emergency support to dumbass. Look for them in the right location in about two weeks.

I only hope the U of A doen't hire a new coach with the reputayion of being a 'nice guy". Unless, of course, you can be one and still win games. Our current coach doesn't seem to be able to. Leo Durocher may have been right, at least with regards to coaching; "Nice guys finish last".

Gillespie and Bill Self are the dream coaches. Who knows what the odds are of getting either. If they both fall through, look to Air Force's coach, or maybe Nevada's. But Gillespie and Self are the only proven winners in the bunch.

Probably won't happen but how about Eddie Sutton as the new UA roundball coach? Surely, he'd be a "uniter not a divider" up there at the moment. Let old Eddie handle things for 2-3 years, then retire and let the new AD hire his own man after he figures out where the bathrooms are. Eddie at the helm might mean we beat Kentucky a time or two, don't you think?

I'd take Self for sure but do you leave Kansas basketball to come to Fayetteville? I doubt it.
