5. HI there, checkmate. You could go to KOS and copy the address

on the page where the article is located, and post it. That way we can easily read what you're referring to. Also, if you posted the opening paragraph, that could give people an impression of what they're likely to find.

11. Welcome to DU from a fellow Arkansan!

Folks around here will help you out. My husband always says "Copy and Paste is your friend". You can use that function not only to copy/paste urls but also to copy up to 4 paragraphs of an article as well.

I'm from Newton County, btw. What do you think of the gubenatorial race in Arkansas?

12. Pope County

Thanks for the welcome,,The only part of the Governors race
that tickles me is that Huckabee is not in it and the prospect
that we will have a Democrat for a change.

17. Polk County

Hi Checkmate! I'm down southwest of ya in Polk County. Even my ReTHUG co-workers are wanting to vote against Hutchinson -- it's really too funny. The THUGs picked the one candidate name (Hutchinson) that even other THUGs hate in Arkansas; I had one tell me he'd vote for Bill before Asa.

19. Glad to hear that

I work in Harrison, and I have only seen one Asa sticker here, to my surprise. If I haven't said so before, welcome to DU to you too! :hi:

13. You are right it is a truly powerful essay.

Welcome to DU. As you spend some time here you will learn how to post links to verify your claims and to be helpful to other posters. Also you will learn to add a bit of the article to let the other posters know more about the article or issue. We all need a little help now and then. Again welcome :toast: :beer: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: the more people the better...

20. Wow, a good read.

Interesting how the writer begins with Bush's cruelty and heartlessness as a governor and traces out how that has become a matter of policy and what America is now known for.

Very sad.
