Recently, Jericho, Arkansas Fire Chief Don Payne had to go to court twice in one day to contest yet another traffic ticket. The second time, he told the judge in no uncertain terms what he thought of the police and their speed traps. Apparently, this has been a big problem in tiny Jericho, and people are up in arms.

The response from the cops? They shot him in the tushie. Now the seven-man police force has been disbanded and City Hall has been shuttered until things calm down in the community.

It's not every place that the people have to be protected from the police.

At Sen. Blanche Lincoln's town hall meeting in Russellville the other day, a large number of people expressed the belief that President Obama has filled the government with commies because he has appointed so many "Czars".

The stupid burns on.

Apparently, at least six states have declared that their schools will not air President Obama's speech to students, as well as some in Missouri, and I'm guessing that there will be a bunch of school districts in Arkansas that won't air it.

We can't have our President indoctrinating our children into studying hard and excelling in school so they can achieve their dreams in later life.

We gotta keep 'em ignorant.

Michael Jackson's family is finally going to bury him. They have chosen Forest Lawn Cemetery in Los Angeles. There goes the neighborhood. Oh, stop it! I'm not making a racist comment. I'm referring to the crowds of fans who will undoubtedly be descending on the venerable old cemetery where the remains of some of the most famous show-biz folks repose.

Where have they kept Michael stashed all this time?

Arkansas' largest family, the Duggars, are expecting number 19.

I'm too appalled to say any more.

Stay tuned.
