It’s not often we have a chance to praise five members of the Arkansas Congressional delegation for their votes on one bill. (In Vic Snyder’s day, it was more often the other way around — one right, five wrong.) But five members voted correctly for the federal Farm Bill and sent it on to President Obama — Rep. Rick Crawford of Jonesboro, Rep. Tim Griffin of Little Rock, Rep. Steve Womack of Rogers, Sen. John Bozeman of Rogers and Sen. Mark Pryor of Little Rock. Among other things, the bill helps feed low-income Arkansans. Only Rep. Tom Cotton of Dardanelle thought the price too high.

One cannot serve God and Mammon both. Cotton has made his bed with Mammon, and the Koch brothers.
