Catching up
I'm back from Helena. It was a nice day to drive through the cotton fields, mostly picked. The funeral was a rich remembrance of a universally loved wife, mother, grandmother, aunt, cousin, teacher, friend. We should all wish to be remembered half so fondly. The women of First Methodist put on a fine lunch. If only I could make those rolls.
A quick scan of an overflowing e-mailbox indicates ...
Attorney General Dustin McDaniel has approved the revised popular name and ballot title for the state lottery amendment, though the opinion says confusion still exists over just what 'lotteries' mean (it could mean any state-operated game of chance, according to at least one court opinion elsewhere)...
..... The Disability Rights Center has detailed another case where a troubled juvenile seems to have fallen through the many cracks in the state's system for treating such kids.
... More right-wing flak, this time from Hugh Hewitt, for The Huckster.
... The Huckster blames Bill Clinton for Wayne Dumond. Swear.
...The Arkansas Supreme Court says Nabholz Construction doesn't have to give up documents on UAF dorm work under an FOI claim by a contractors group. The outcome might have been different had the University been named as a defendant and it could have been argued that it effectively controlled documents in the company's possession.

And why the heck shouldn't the Huckabuck blame it all on Bill? The Blithering Idiot in the WH now did that for 6 years and nary a word of opposition was heard throughout the professional press.
If anything, Huck is showing what a good 'buck passer' he will be - a prime qualification for any Repuke nominee, for any office.

"CONSERVATION"???????
Heck he labled my an environmental whacko for touting conservation. Now he is pro conservation. Plus I really doubt Bill would have appointed people prone to free old noballs.
The victim was a very credible eye witness and she pointed out that rape is a pretty "intimate" crime and it really gives a close up and face on view of your attacker.

If he hasn't denied the 'Dear Wayne' letter yet he may just spin his way through this. Of course he's developing "selective memory" just about the same time Rudy does the same. Has anyone posted the
"Dear Wayne" letter on the web yet?

Here's a little noted piece of Arkansas:
BBC Looks At Changes In Springdale
SPRINGDALE -- A small British invasion arrived in Springdale this week to give English viewers a glimpse of changes in America.
A crew from the British Broadcasting Corporation -- the BBC -- arrived in Springdale Thursday to tape segments about changes in the United States that English "telly" viewers might not know. The story will focus on the growing Hispanic population in the U.S., using Springdale as an example.
