I see that Tom is suddenly and with strained enunciation trying very hard to lose that Arkansas accent. It's not as grating as Marsha Blackburn working on those final Gs she used to drop, but then Tom has mysteriously confident aspirations what with Lyndsay and Mitch out of the halls.

Everybody on here is talking about how dim Maria is when this is so obviously a schtick orchestrated for the real audience of one. It's a parenting technique used to redirect behavior in small children.

"There’s no guarantee next year that lawmakers won’t try again to threaten funding for PBS or try to assert more influence in restricting programming they don’t find politically palatable." I fully expect it to happen. This administration can't be trusted to do the right thing. At all.

What a hot mess. I'd give a speech about irreparable loss of legal reputation and such, but it's Mississippi and I'm not convinced it matters there.

So that's how it works now. The state cuts programs people love (PBS) and need (Meals on Wheels) and they just wait around to see if we get loud enough to threaten their imagined "mandate."

You might know that Arkansas Monticello’s men’s teams are known as the Boll Weevils, but did you know the women’s teams are called the Cotton Blossoms? They still have a lady boll weevil mascot, though. A sheevil, if you will.

As a woman of a certain age, I cannot express my disbelief at seeing these four people standing in front of the White House together. Queen Camilla? President Trump? First Lady Melania? Breathtakingly bizarre.
