    A regular Blog reader can't wait for tonight's open line. He asks that I post the following thought. Since I'm passing tired of politics right about now, here goes:

    I can’t start a thread on your blog or I would, but I think you need to point out that UAPB makes the NCAA [...]

  • Lincoln's latest

    Arkansas Blog

    Blanche Lincoln's latest plugs her agri expertise through Lonoke County farmer L.D. Brantley (he'd be the first to want you to know we're no relation.)

    It's better than the old coach. And, you know, the more I think about it, the more I'm convinced this primary is good for Lincoln. If' [...]

  • More judges, more money

    Arkansas Blog

    Money and judges aren't soon parted. While poring over state judicial campaign contributions, I happened to hear from one of the members of the black legal community who thinks blacks have been getting the short end of the stick on federal appointments from Democratic Sens. Blanche Lincoln and Mark Pryor.' [...]

  • More money to watch

    Arkansas Blog

    I mentioned the interest in following judicial candidate campaign contributions earlier. Here's another one to watch. Appeals Court Judge Courtney Henry has already raised more than $317,000 for her race for state Supreme Court. As is customary, many lawyers appear on the list.

    But this stood out from her first [...]

  • Where is John Boozman?

    Arkansas Blog

  • Answer: there is no shame

    Arkansas Blog

    Republicans are again ruling the day by branding a proposed method for House passage of health legislation as unparalleled, undemocratic trickery. For the record, from Norm Ornstein:

    In the last Congress that Republicans controlled, from 2005 to 2006, Rules Committee Chairman David Dreier used the self-executing rule more than 35 [...]
