News and comment
Not much this Saturday, as usual on a long holiday weekend.
But Brummett offers an interesting angle -- how politics might have played a role in Ole Miss landing a presidential debate, leaving UCA a disappointed bridesmaid.
Lu Hardin at UCA is diplomatically staying mum about being bypassed. New Orleans is not. Debate organizers insisted New Orleans, a town well-equipped to handle tourist influxes, didn't meet technical requirements. These, theoretically include thousands of hotel rooms, but Oxford, Miss., drew in with only 700, which brings us back to Brummett's point about politics.
And what about the story of the moment -- the Nutt saga? Harry King offers:
As for as Nutt is concerned, huggers will point to the victory and say "see that" while haters will say the Razorbacks should have been playing that way all year.
Nutt and Chancellor John White are likely to meet during the weekend and the man making the decision must weigh one of the most remarkable victories in Razorback history against months and months of discontent.
Whether it's a wholehearted endorsement or a parting of the ways, the decision should be made quickly.

Hey...I figured out a long time ago if Gov. Haley Barber of Mississippi decides he wants to pork my wife there won't be nothing I can do about it. To add insult to injury...if that ever happens that damn George Bush will be down there holding her legs up in the air. As long as Cheney-Bush are in office, Haley Barber gets whatever he wants.....period!

Brummett and DBI right on the money -- again. Imagine that.
And the New Orleans organizer wailing that choosing New Orleans would have been the "correct moral decision" is more naive than I was as a toddler. True, I grew up in a politically attuned household, but wouldn't you have thought anyone "organizing" in New Orleenz would be a bit more, er, uh, worldly?
Say, wanna bet some of those 4000 folks will be shoehorned into the casino hotels along the mighty Mississip'?

Max,
No comment on Annie Abrams column in the D-G about the "coming change" of charter schools? Impossible! As always, the promise of charter schools sounds better than the reality. When will people learn that if it sounds too good to be true it probably is?
You've got to have an opinion!
P.S. Tip of the hat to the man who made yesterday's victory possible: the fabulous Jack Vanderschilden, MD of UAMS Sports Medicine. D-Mac wouldn't be running without him.
