You could say it was jolting to hear Bob Shoulders tell how employees and members at the Fayetteville Athletic Club united to save a member’s life by using the club’s Automated External Defibrillator that had sat unused for seven years.

Iran wins again Wed, 02 Apr 2008 01:48:00 -0500
Maybe it’s too bad that Baghdad isn’t actually a part of the United States, like, say, New Orleans. Bush administration loyalists would be arguing that its make-believe “Green Zone” government had become the ultimate welfare state and needed to be cut loose of its dependency on U.S. dollars and military might lest it remain permanently crippled.

Where the gas rush is on Thu, 03 Apr 2008 23:00:00 EST
MORRILTON — Johnny Hoyt, the town's freshman state representative, had voted aye. Bob Johnson, the district's senator, had voted no, bucking not only Gov. Beebe but Jimmy Hart, the Conway County judge. Beebe and Hart and Hoyt thought the Arkansas severance tax on natural gas was way, way, way low and that city and county roads were a high, high, high priority, and that raising the former could help resurface the latter, especially here, Ground Zero for drilling in the Fayetteville Shale. Johnson muttered something about killing the goose that laid the golden egg, or words to that effect.

BEFORE OUR governor and lawmakers break their arms patting themselves on the back for raising the severance tax on natural gas for the first time in half a century, let’s put this Great Accomplishment in perspective, shall we?

Haditha: Liberal fiction collapses Fri, 04 Apr 2008 23:00:00 EST
You'd hardly know it if you relied on the mainstream media, but the government's case against the Haditha Marines took another body blow last Friday that may be the beginning of the end for this whole sorry attempt to severely punish eight heroic United States Marines for doing what they are trained to do.

THEY KEEP trying to solve one of the Great Mysteries of the late-20th Century. The sleuths are back on the trail of D.B. Cooper, the hijacker who parachuted into a dark night in 1971 and was never heard from again.

Block that metaphor Sat, 05 Apr 2008 02:47:00 -0500
Quitting now, the junior senator from New York said the other day in Philadelphia, would be as “if Rocky Balboa had gotten halfway up those art museum steps and said, ‘Well, I guess that’s about far enough.’ ” Now that she’s an underdog in the presidential race, Hillary R. Clinton is going to make the most of it.

Carville’s one-liner:Was it a joke or a hatchet job? Sun, 06 Apr 2008 04:38:00 -0500

Damage report Sun, 06 Apr 2008 04:33:00 -0500

Bringing us water Sun, 06 Apr 2008 04:32:00 -0500
THEY’RE OUT there every day. Sometimes you can see them right there on the side of the highway as cars zoom by. Spreading asphalt. Guiding a pipe into the ground. Pouring concrete. Up in a cherry-picker repairing electrical wires. So often, too often, they’re taken for granted by the rest of us cubicle-dwellers.

“When you set out to take Vienna,” Napoleon famously advised, “take Vienna.” That might be updated to: “If you’re going to bowl, bowl better than a 37.” That’s what Barack Obama scored when he set out to demonstrate he was just one of the guys at a Pennsylvania bowling alley recently.

Caught in a political time warp Mon, 07 Apr 2008 23:00:00 EST
BOSTON — It seems that the presidential primary season has outlived its welcome, rather like winter in northern New England where the snowdrifts have delayed our annual appointment with crocuses. But there are times when even frozen ground can be surprisingly fertile.
