A$A? makes a pass at De Queen:

This one’s from June but I just found it so its news to me.  A$A? speaks to about 30 "supporters" in De Queen.  He thinks we need to reform education, citing a need for "...common standards applied to common sense".  He also says that the $300 million dollar surplus "in Little Rock" got there by outpacing the forcast of "those creating the budget."  (You may know these folks.  They're mostly Democrats and they meet every two years down at the capitol.)  He thinks we need to return this money to tax payers.  So where does he think we're going to get the money to improve our State's school system?  Oh, see above, we need "common standards" applied to "common sense."  I'm betting that will only cost a few common dollars.
