That’s good, Br549. Despite my recent harping on the issue, I don’t think I see the cut and paste business as being a particularly serious matter — but playing ‘spot the sources’ does make for an amusing pastime.

re: cut and paste jobs.

When I was in our nation’s capitol, I remember being told by an old hand up there, that: “there hasn’t been an original word written up here in 30 years, everything is copied from one place to another.”

Makes sense to me.

Having another reason to close the banks could help avert a run that would deepen our economic woes. I’m also looking forward to the inevitable Ronald Reagan Marathon on Turner Classic Movies. Every time Ronald Reagan says “well” you have to take a drink. This is going to rock.

I don’t know but what this might not be the best use for the worthless ones after all. They managed to sneak through $2,400 raises for 23 different Representatives in HB1001. I would rather some simple though time-wasting resolutions than have them giving themselves various 16% or more raises in slights-of-hand through Special Languge Subcommittee work.

Okay, this is quite possibly the dumbest thing. Why do we elect these people? Who gives a rat about any of this? Will it increase freedom? Will it secure liberty? Will it serve the public good? NO! It is just a resolution, a public fellating by kiss-ups. It is a pointless honoris causa for people who don’t care what the Arkansas Legislature thinks about them because they are dead or otherwise engaged. Does anyone think President Obama is losing sleep over how he is viewed by the Arkansas Ledge? Do you think Iran will find him weak because he can’t garner enough support to get a resolution passed by these great parochial twits? Methinks not.
Get to work people! You aren’t doing any good, devote your time to working for us instead of crap like this! Ye gods, I’m so ashamed.

I think they’re just getting warmed up. Who wants to bet that Richard Nixon appreciation day is next?

This was the first time I’ve actually taken the time to sit down and read the Obama Resolution…

So now I’m just wondering if the reason AR ranks next to last in everything is b/c the people who run our state are busy writing, oh excuse me, copying and pasting, ridiculous resolutions…

I think this is a negotiation tactic. We will give you Thomas Paine if you give us Ronald Reagan.
