The joys of living in Arkansas: Awoke this morning to a page and a half profile of

Sarah Sanders on front page of Section D of the Arkansas Democrat Gazette. Here's the 2 money quotes.

"I try to be polite, even when we disagree. I think that's some of the Southern upbringing in me." (or that ole time Baptist religious upbringing)

"The best advice I ever received was, Always be yourself and treat others the way you want to be treated."

Ruined my breakfast.

Please write one.


Those lies damage America and Sanders is complicit.

Hillary as a former Arkansas resident is a much better representative of the state.

Although I am a white guy,
I had to leave as I could no longer tolerate the racial prejudice I observed on a regular basis.

People bragged to me a number of times that there are areas of the state today where no person of color had better be when the Sun goes down if they want to see the morning.

Having been born and raised in PA,
I felt that many of the people I interacted with in Ft Smith were better fitted for the 1930s and 1940s.
