Anytime you get an Arkansas Representative in an unscripted (albeit friendly) interview, you’ll always come up with something interesting.

Gilbert proved he is an Arkansas 49er.

He said he’s against the tobacco tax because the “regular guy” told him to be. He even said tobacco lobbyists haven’t be very active. David “Stephens” Sanders had a chance to ask him how much Philip Morris has paid him but he let him slide.

That’s not worth an exclamation mark because: it happens all the time; we’re powerless to change it; we don’t give a sh:t; or all of the above?

See the Secretary of State or norgi site for some of those tobacco figures.

Gilbert’s plenty conservative, by the way. He’s just saving his best plays for the US Senate.

Am I the only one who has noticed that Gilbert has a conservative image but never really does anything conservative in the legislature?

And, you are extremely kind! You didn’t even point out my obvious misspelling of erudite! We all know how much you HATE misspelling in posts!

Mr. Kinkade, I am becoming concerned with your recent personality drift. Before, you were simply sarcastic to occasionally witty to intermittently eruidite to , well, sometimes boring. However, you were our go-to guy because most often, we were sarcastic and boring and could relate to you most easily. However, in your last few posts, I have noticed an increasing anger, even rage, creeping into your verbiage. Exclamation points, even double exclamation points are flying around your prose like mosquitos at a Jonesboro Comfort Inn swimming pool on a hot August evening.

While not being really sure of what is going wrong in your life, I have noticed the following:
1) The Arkansas Legislature is in session
2) You have made no recent posts regarding the Arkansas Project Girlfriend (APG)
3) You seem to be making an inordinate number of spelling mistakes utilizing the keys most often struck by the left hand.

Is there something we need to know friend?

Does anybody actually watch that show? Watching paint dry is more exciting.

How could I miss this? This must be the most thrilling TV since The Fonz jumped ths shark. If you don’t watch this, well, then you just suck. That’s all, you just suck. And you have no life.
Or you are just scared of David Sanders’ great swath of hair.
