Crime alert
This is going to shock you. The federal government has discovered that masonry workers on a building project at LR National Airport have been found to be working in the U.S. without proper papers. This link doesn't tell you, but I can, that this building project is for a new private aircraft operation put in motion by Stephens' interests at LR National. So before you get mad at Dick Holbert for firing a waitress who waved a Hillary Clinton sign, ....
No s***, Sherlock
The "Mission Accomplished" banner (five years ago) was a bad idea, numnutz now admits.
Another setback for immigrant bashers
Attorney General Dustin McDaniel has again rejected the form of a proposed intiated act to prohibit certain public benefits for people not in the country legally. Among other criticisms, McDaniel said the ballot title was too long and complicated.

Read all about it.The 39th in Iraq
NPR visits with Arkansas's redeployed 39th Infantry Brigade in Iraq. It brings home some of the darker side of heroic sacrifices. Staff Sgt. Kevin Kimmey is quoted:
"I can't say the war is right or wrong, but I can say I've never seen some people needed killing more than some of the people over here," he says. "And when I say that, I mean it in the most sincere way I can. ... I've seen true evil over here. And, yeah, maybe we made a mistake coming over here, but we're here and we need to finish."
Kimmey's commander, Capt. Ronnie Denton, tried to soften those remarks, and Kimmey apparently was reprimanded later.
Denton says the personal cost of the repeated deployments has been high.
"I don't have a house anymore. ... You're just more or less a Guard bum," he says. "You try to find National Guard jobs. Because every time I get a job, trying to coach basketball or something else, the National Guard just pulls you in to go somewhere or do this for so long."
"We're all divorced, too," Kimmey says. When someone counters that not everyone is divorced, Kimmey adds, "Pretty much," sparking laughter.
But as the veterans will tell you, it's really no laughing matter.
Play hooky
It's your solemn duty. The Travs are playing at Dickey-Stephens Park. The sun is shining. The temp is lovely. There's a steady breeze. The stands are full of kids, judging by my view from the Main Street Bridge as I walked back from lunch in lovely Argenta.
PS -- Game started at 11 a.m. so time is running out. But find an excuse anyway. It's a glorious day.
