Late night open line
Posted By Max Brantley on Wed, Dec 17, 2008 at 8:53 PM
Sorry. I had places to go. A retirement party for Judge Lee Munson. Police Chief Stuart Thomas, Prosecutor Larry Jegley and dozens more cops and lawyers and lots of others. Tom Schueck gave me a relatively pleasant greeting, considering what I've written here and there. Stubby Stumbaugh. What can you say? He would have enlivened Congress, that's for sure. Wish I could repeat his joke.
Then The Rep's "It's a Wonderful Life." A Christmas confection. On the way home, the Capitol lights had a special glow against the foggy sky. Ho, ho, ho, he exclaimed.
Back to you.

Trump immigration protest at LR: Quick and fierce
It was not even 24 hours ago that Sophia Said, director of the Interfaith Center; City Director Kathy Webb and others decided to organize a protest today of Donald Trump's executive order that has left people from Muslim countries languishing in airports or unable to come to the US at all — people with visas, green cards,a post-doc graduate student en route to Harvard, Google employees abroad, families. I got the message today before noon; others didn't find out until it was going on. But however folks found out, they turned out in huge numbers, more than thousand men, women and children, on the grounds of the state Capitol to listen to speakers from all faiths and many countries.

ADEQ denies C&H Hog Farm permit
The Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality has denied a new permit for the C&H Hog Farms' concentrated animal feeding operation near Mount Judea (Newton County).
