Ken Cook at Mulch reports: Blue Dogs Are Big Winners In Subsidy-Laden Farm Bill While They Threaten Education For Vets With Offset Demand.
THE DIFFERENCE!
by Pat Toomey, Op-ed, The Wall Street Jounal: The Club for Growth Political Action Committee has long been attacked for intervening in Republican primaries and targeting the party's most economically liberal incumbents. . . . Thus comes the demand for an uncompromising obeisance to the [...]
Patrick Toomey: Club for Growth released its 2007 annual scorecard, awarding the Defender of Economic Freedom award to six senators and forty-nine representatives who scored a 90 or above on the Club's scorecard. "These top-scoring members of Congress are staunch defenders of American taxpayers," said [...]
 Sen. John McCain's presidential campaign released a new TV ad, entitled "Accountable," focusing on John McCain's innovative pro-growth plans to get our economy back on track. |
Call your mother today? Have a good memory to recall if you couldn't? It's a good place to start an open line today.
(OK, someone asked: The first thing I remember about my late mother -- after her single-minded determination to never, never fail to deliver on motherly duties and her belief [...]
by Fred Barnes: Prospects for Republicans in the 2008 election here at home look grim. The political environment isn't as bad as it was in 2006 when Republicans lost both houses of Congress and a lot more. But it's close. The empirical evidence is well [...]
An interesting lineup. But the Clinton rules stipulate that media can say anything about them. It is also fair to say that the Clinton campaign failed to demonstrate until too late any strategy to cope with that reality.
And, hey, Obamaists, if you really want to get mad at somebody, how about [...]
It’s the topic of John Lyon’s column from the Arkansas News Bureau today. Three years ago, Arkansas voted to move it’s primary to Feb. 5 in an effort to get more attention. Traditionally, a late May primary has been irrelevant in the nominating process. But 2008 proved to be [...]
It’s a sunny Mother’s Day in Little Rock. Again, tornadoes touched down in Arkansas. Golf ball sized hail dropped from the sky last night, but today has proven to be a welcomed reprieve, although it’s a bit windy for the folks hoping to spend the day outside.
The May 20th [...]
In the previous item, I mentioned that the richly paid UA football coach Bobby Petrino would be moonlighting at one of those motivational seminars at Alltel Arena this summer.
Here's the background. Re Petrino: "In his dynamic session he will share his personal game plan to help you [...]
John Brummett has written pleasantly today about the coming of football at Hendrix College, a subject of great controversy here when it was unveiled last week. So no one will accuse me of copycatting, I'd like to serve notice that I've already written a column for this week's print edition [...]
So much for the argument that term limits would produce more candidates and more competition for legislative seats: 76 of the 118 seats on the ballot this year are uncontested.
I think you can argue that term limits have increased the power of incumbency. Even goofy, do-nothings are left unchallenged because [...]
It would have been more exciting in Arkansas had the state saved the presidential primary for May 20. At a minimum, Obama might have tried a little harder here. But this review doesn't turn up anybody terribly upset about the decision to go early.
Here's another thought, though: A far greater turnout, which the presidential [...]
Mike Huckabee says Gov. Mike Beebe will come to regret closing the state's office in Washington, D.C. Some more specifics of the office's activity would be welcome to support that position. Of course, it's also true that the D.C. office was no more secretive than the Little Rock office [...]
Congratulations are in order for Steve Mayo, new mayor of Texarkana, Texas. In other Texas-side municipal election results from yesterday, Robin Court beat incumbent George Nuckolls for the Ward 6 Council seat. [...]
