Rounding Up Wyrick’s Support

I couldn't find a Phil Wyrick photo, so here are some Victoria's Secret models.

In going through the daily mail at Arkansas Project World Headquarters yesterday, I was surprised to find an envelope sent to me by Little Rock ladies’ underwear magnate Barbara Graves. I couldn’t imagine what Ms. Graves could possibly want with me, as I usually get my ladies’ underwear fixes by swiping my girlfriend’s Victoria Secret catalogs as soon as they pass over the threshold.

Opening the envelope, I was supremely disappointed pleasantly surprised to find that Ms. Graves’ mailing had nothing to do with ladies’ underwear, and everything to do with raising money for Phil Wyrick’s campaign for Pulaski County Judge.

Buddy Villines spreads Christmas cheer.

Wyrick is the Republican challenger to incumbent Democratic Pulaski County Judge Buddy Villines, whose indomitable power stems from the fact that he looks a lot like Santa Claus, if Santa Claus wore an ID badge around his neck and carried a cocktail everywhere he went (photo at left).

The fundraising event for Wyrick is September 21, and if you want the details on attending, e-mail me or something.

Of potential interest to Arkansas Project readers is the mix of folks listed as Wyrick supporters on the “Hosts” list for the invitation, which you can read at the jump. The list includes quite a few known Republican names, as you would expect. But there are a couple of Democrats in the mix, as well—including one Democratic state legislator.
