                                         OK, seems the 
                                         Jonestown shooting was self-defense.  On to the one in
                                         Wynne.  
                                         NEA Report has the names of the 
                                         arrestees. Presumably there will be a trial at some future date or other.
                                         
                                         
                                         A Blytheville school board member seems to have been 
                                         involved in some unpleasantness.
                                         Blytheville wasn't just terrible when they had the Air Force base
                                         over there.  Not great but not terrible.  Probably a big economic hit when it closed.  FedEx talked about buying it maybe to replace Memphis, which seemed
                                         like a good idea.  Would have been good for Arkansas but for whatever reason it didn't happen. 
                                         
                                         
                                         Looks like the 
                                         big lectern scandal 
                                         may be about over.  Presumably having read the gory details some of the lawmakers pontificated for a while and that seems to be about it.  If anyone asked my opinion I'd say it's 
                                         a little fancy, cost is probably about right for fancy but the government should set an example by
                                         exercising a little frugality.  But no one asked me.  Maybe the governor will have a word with the staff.
                                         
                                         
                                         What else?  Let's do the 
                                         St. Francis County 
                                         thing next.  St. Francis County is in NEA, isn't it?  Lessee.  Sadly it is, along with Crittenden (West Memphis).  I avoid that area, and the only thing Hughes reminds me of is a guy that got
                                         murdered over there.  Nice fellow I worked with once, had a business over there, got killed one day by a local.  The 
                                         Wayne Dumond 
                                         affair happened there in St. Francis County.
                                         
                                         
                                         I have no idea what the connection to Jonestown or NEA generally 
                                         this has.
                                         The alleged perp doesn't seem to be from around here... nevermind, he played at ASU, okey-dokey.  The circumstances described did remind me the 
                                         Rae Carruth case.   
                                         No, not the 
                                         Henry Ruggs III 
                                         case although that did come to mind for some reason or other.  Those two got off real easy, I wonder what will happen with this one.  
                                         TANJ.
                                         
                                         
                                         Then we got a 
                                         lawsuit against video game manufacturers. 
                                         I know a lot of people that have kids who aren't addicted to video games or anything else.  Anyone want to know what the trick is?
                                         
                                         
                                         Finally we have 
                                         this.
                                         I understand AG Griffin is a good man and would want to get to the bottom of this. I just wish it were possible.  Senator Cotton might have some ideas, just sayin'.
