'Sheep to visit'?
Posted By Max Brantley on Wed, Jan 2, 2008 at 4:42 PM
I have a feeling this site won't be up long in this form. But take a quick look at the primary tasks section of a website for Arkansas Young Republicans. The tasks enumerated include "cars to crush" and "sheep to visit." I presume these items are space fillers for legitimate items yet to come on the website, which appears to still be under development, but still .... WWMHD about jokes such as these?
We also liked Chairman David Fort's vow to work against overtaxing of the middle class. The poor? Who cares about overtaxing them? They're the kind of people who'd probably like that "laughable public healthcare initiative" Fort references.

Central High at 60: Seize the day mayor. Stand up for LR schools.
The conversion of a national debate on race is an apt commentary for the 60th anniversary of the Little Rock school crisis and the city's effort to sell it as an occasion to laud progress. Progress would be someone talking about the elephant in the room — the white establishment's takeover of the majority black Little Rock School District.

@JimHendren1 I do too. And will continue to do so. But I understand the point being made, particularly by those reacting to Trump yesterday.
