Dog days

How hot is it? Better question: how slow is it? The governor's weekly radio address is about the heat.

Arkansas’s heat wave has left many individuals scrambling and sweating, but weather forecasts indicate that relief is near. Until that time, stay safe and use caution to protect yourself and family members from preventable heat-related injuries.

And if that doesn't excite you, here's some fun and games. Mike Huckabee played a little ping pong during a visit to NPR for a softball interview.

Huckabee did better at ping pong than he did at the Illinois State Fair Republican straw poll. He finished 6th place, with 3 percent of 922 votes cast. Romney on top, then Thompson.

There's something else to boil your blood on Iconoclast today. Seems developers are teaming up with wingnuts in an attempt to get EVERY homeowner to pay for development impact costs. This means a transfer tax on ALL homeowners.

Huckabee's pretty good! He'd beat me at that game.

My little dog hates this hot weather. She looks at me with pleading eyes, and I know she's saying "Please, Ecce, please. Take me back to The Himalaya glaciers."

Here's a musical amusement from Noel Coward -- a reminder of how people used to get through hot weather.

Thank God for air conditioning.

Looks like Dr. Ron Paul is the breakout candidate in Illinois.

Dr. Paul is #1 fave of the c-span callers every morn, so much so the hosts have started
keeping a tab of all calls in his favor.....I've decided they have phone banks.
I do like what he has said, so far.........they don't give him much time on the "debates."
