A blog focusing on news and usually offensive commentary on Arkansas and America, and some general randomness in between. If you are easily offended, please go away and watch a "High School Musical" movie or something.
Yes, it's been going on for awhile. Even years before Clear Channel sold them to East Arkansas Broadcasters, they dumped their remote assistants to save dough as the whole station cluster(95.9 the wolf,107.9 KFIN, other ex CC stations in Jonesboro) got a budget cut waiting to be sold off. When they did, they were sold off to EAB. If you haven't heard of them, they're the ones who own 103.9 "Earl FM".
Chances are, you still don't know what the Hell I'm talking about.
Anyways, they've lost their old site(since they're no longer affiliated with CC) and now are at http://www.kissjonesboro.com/view/470. Also, they've started on their annual Christmas Treasure Hunt.
The grand prize?
A 2001 Dodge Intrepid, with a new sound system.
My response?
What does the runner up get? An EBT Card and a lifetime supply of this?
Ah, since I've last been on, the President has learned the one of the main welcoming traditions of US citizens by Arabs while visiting the region(believe me, it's better than the other ones. To commemorate this, I bring an animated GIF: It seems as if he's done that drill before.
(definition courtesy of the Urban Dictionary) "Blue Falcon"-A socially acceptable reference to the acronym 'bf', also known as 'buddy fuck'; referring to an action that leads to 'fucking over' your 'buddy'. Common in military parlance. See also "bf"
"Our LT-CMD took point, led us through a mine field and almost blue falconed the entire platoon."
The geniuses in the Grove complex November 4th are just that, buddy fuckers. Sure, the election of an African-American to the presidency is a momentous occasion, but it can be assumed that he took great pains in his life not to act like the fucktards who decided to booze up, not leave the complex when the cops ordered them to leave "more than 15 times", as JPD Chief Yates said, and decided to shout obscenities at the police officers. As they were starting to arrest the more fucktarded sounding of the bunch, a couple decided to do something quite brilliant.
They approached the officers...
and acted a fool.
Oh, ya, that's a taserin'.
In this Hope-filled melee, one particularly genius man from Stuttgart decided to put his Fist of Change to a female officer's nose, breaking it.
Right after this all went down, mass emails, as well as a complaint filed with the JPD were sent all over accusing the JPD of police brutality by Brittany Jones. Now, I will say the JPD is pretty ridiculous when it comes to protocol, but they rarely give people "a date with senior nightstick" unless they earn it, and these guys earned it.
Now, several witnesses, including Jones, are trying to change their stories during taped police interviews. Brittany, apparently now knowing that filing a false statement is sort of illegal, asked if she could "scratch out" the original statement similar to the mass-email claims, and make a new statement.
It doesn't work that way, ma'am.
According to the Jonesboro Sun say that "repeated attempts to contact Brittany Jackson, Erika Guy and Chelsea Adams, who also filed complaints against officers, were unsuccessful."
Ok, now that Greene County's county clerk decided to stop holding up the info on her county, the stats on the First Congressional District are in...
Counties going Red in '08: 21
Counties going Blue in '08: 5
Local Democrats crying in their beers that they actually have to campaign for this guy again in four years in counties where local Democratic leaders and candidates were openly stating their support for McCain: priceless.
Seriously, I can't state this enough how big this is. In the entire history of the region of Eastern Arkansas, the majority of its people have never voted to have a Republican president until now. Even Greene County, the county that historically would literally vote for a Yellow Dog than a Republican had only had a single point difference between it's vote and in Baxter County's, meaning it's on track to going Red on the local level in 4 to 8 years.
It didn't hurt that the county's democratic committee refused to hold a campaign HQ in Obama's name. Hell, I don't think they even did that to Carter in '80.
Oh and one more thing. Did anyone notice that former Democratic State Chair and Jonesboro native Willett had his mayoral campaign pretty much crash and burning after spending over a 100 grand and ended of tens of thousands of that in debt after getting less than 20% of the vote. Considering that Jonesboro is the main fund raising hub for Democrats the region, we was the DPA state chair, and he's actually from Jonesboro, I believe I shall award him:
