How many of you listen to The Opie & Anthony Show on XM Sirius? I don't, but I occasionally catch their studio footage on YouTube. I saw this video of former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura appearing on the program today and dang,' [...]
Yeah, I don't know if anyone was aware that there was a debate in the 2010 Senate race. I sure wasn't aware of it. But I scrolled over to The Tolbert Report and he had a whole blog post on the [...]

From all of us at Arkansas Tonight (all of us being Cris, Don, Isaac, Rick, and me), Happy Thanksgiving! We will all be enjoying time with family and friends and then we will return next week.
[...]I want to take a second to thank KARK-TV for some great clips. I wonder what happened to this guy? Anyone know?
[...]I guess filming a tease was a little too much for this fomer KARK-TV reporter. I doubt the entire video ever made the air, but thanks to YouTube, it always makes it to the internet.
[...]Newsweek has a really great article up at their web site about Sen. Blanche Lincoln and Arkansas politics. It's a great read. If you get a chance to read it, you definitely should.

Did you catch Chris Matthews' interview with Bishop Thomas Tobin yesterday? I was just half-watching and stopped what I was doing to see the smack down that Matthews did on the right reverend. Enjoy what I think will become a classic Chris' [...]
Dang, 37 ethics violations charges. It sucks to be Mark Sanford, although it was probably fun while it lasted. I am guessing that Sanford will still not resign from office, even though he will likely be 1) censured [...]
I know I said we were going to be doing some news bloopers and we will continue that, but I think this video should be included in the best local bloopers contest even though it isn't a news blooper.
Now in case you' [...]

Well this is surprising: former President Bill Clinton thinks that Keith Olbermann is politicizing the free health clinic in Little Rock tomorrow. Eve Gittelson, a reporter for FireDogLake.com, ran into Clinton in the gift shop of his presidential library yesterday and asked [...]

Random post, I know, but did any of you catch Countdown tonight? I just turned it on and noticed that fill-in anchor Lawrence O'Donnell is looking mighty old these days. Watching him in HD just makes it worse.
The following is the opening' [...]
So the gentleman asking the questions and filming the senator is quite possibly the worst wanna-be journalist I've ever seen, but Sen. Lincoln's reaction is interesting. I wonder how much internal polling her staff has done among Arkansas voters to really determine' [...]
Whether or not it passes is not at all what I am advocating here. I am just agreeing with this ad. Debate the bill when it comes to the floor of the senate and give it a fair up or down vote, [...]
