COMMENT

Nonvoters will be hurt most Greetings from the sane democratic republic of Ecuador. I see where the insane citizen of Arkansas voted to allow the Republicans to finish the job of bankrupting the middle class that George Bush started. We did not emigrate to Ecuador to avoid this disaster, but we will not have to watch the Tom Cotton experience as he screws all the idiots that voted for him.

How did the Republicans pull this off?

First, there are the ones who voted against our black president. Second, the ones who will be hurt the most did not vote. This would not have happened in Ecuador for two reasons. First, most people here are colorblind. Secondly, every citizen must vote or pay a large fine. Every citizen is registered to vote and almost 100 percent do.

Nor Jones Cuenca, Ecuador

Climate change must become central issue Is it not strange that on a day most progressives, with whom I identify, are mourning the outcome of the U.S. midterm elections, I am feeling particularly energized? Don’t get me wrong, I am mortified by the prospects of both houses of Congress ruled by anti-science marketworshipers. Yet, I feel that the alternatives were not all that great, either. There is an unshakable feeling that the choices voters face with each election cycle are increasingly demoralizing. Voting is a civic and moral duty, we are told. Yet, when it comes to the actual crop of candidates one is supposed to choose from, casting a ballot becomes an exercise in easy-issue voting. Easy-issue voting is that Pavlovian response we all get when words like: pro-life, pro-gun, anti-gay or Tea Party are pinned to a candidate.

Before I elaborate, I must admit that I’ve never voted in a U.S. election — I’m not eligible — but, from the many friends I have who do, I keep hearing variations on the same sentiment: “They are all bad/ corrupt/puppets.” There is an undeniable frustration with the way representative democracy is practiced in the U.S. today. To this nonvoting observer, the issues that are being heatedly debated between both party’s candidates, and those taken for granted by both, is what unsettles me. What is up for debate, it seems, are the fringe issues, the ideological ones that do not seem to really impact the lives of most voters. We find ourselves sucked into involved discussions on whether the biblical definition of marriage can accommodate homosexual ones, or whether terminating a pregnancy 4

is indeed a personal choice.

These are all valid questions, of course, but not when the greatest existential threat our species ever faced is upon us.

Devastating droughts, storms and extinctions are becoming commonplace and yet we are encouraged to neither question the causes nor ponder the consequences. It is almost as if disproportionately dedicating broadcast and cable airtime to colorcoding the electorate map according to these ideological squabbles will somehow disappear the unfolding tragedy of climate change. If you think I am being hypocritical, i.e. admonishing issue-vot-

ing while insisting that the climate change issue should be the one deciding elections, I’ll ask you to pause and think: If our role in climate change is significant, as impartial scientific research has proven, and if continuing our current pattern of resources management will definitely be catastrophic to us all, are we really doing what we can to stop, not to mention reverse, this trend? A good way to prioritize is to weigh the consequences of action, or inaction, on each issue on your list. If we are to do so, we can all agree that our priorities are messed up, and I think it is, in part, because those with influence

over setting the agenda are not interested in having this conversation now. I feel energized today because I can see a great opportunity for all of us who are passionate about the well being of our fellow men to step up and, not only point out this great and grave oversight, but help bring about an awareness of what can be done. An ineffectual legislature will only highlight the discrepancy between the threat level we are faced with, and the irresponsible lack of response.

Mahmoud A. Sharara Little Rock

From the web, in response to Evin Demirel’s cover story, “War Memorial’s days are numbered” (Nov. 6): It doesn’t take a business major to see where this was going. Hog fans need to act proactively now to start new traditions. Other team fans travel over 400 miles one way to see a game. Tennessee fans living in Memphis have a long drive to Knoxville. Many get tickets to Ole Miss or Starkville. Nebraska has large number of fans from the western part of the state that don’t have Colorado any more as a closer game. They don’t bitch about it; they get bus trips up or make the long drive and make it a weekend.

Hog fans can do the same. A new company just started train service in Northwest Arkansas to the games. Why not from Central Arkansas? Board a train or bus in Pine Bluff, then Little Rock, then Conway etc. Make Fayetteville the tailgate capital of the south. Get tickets to Mississippi games or LSU if you live in the southern or eastern part of the state. East Arkansas to Vandy is closer; go to those games.

Just think of all the new traditions out there to start! Don’t cry just because you lost the Little Rock games; find other ways to show your support!

Skee Hee I am a Razorback fan, but I refuse to drive three hours to watch a game when I can sit at home and watch it on my HD television. I believe having all the games move to Fayetteville will cause some big-time recruits to consider out of state colleges. I live in Little Rock, and if my son got offers from Arkansas, Baylor and LSU, Arkansas playing games in Little Rock where I could bring more family to watch the game in person would be a huge advantage for Arkansas. Otherwise, I would just as soon drive to Dallas or Baton Rouge to watch my son play for a perennial top 15 team.

EYE ON ARKANSAS

WEEK THAT WAS

Quote of the week “We’re like the children of Israel right now — lost in the wilderness.

Is it going to be for 40 years?” — Rep. Charles Armstrong (D-Little Rock) on election night, after learning that Republicans had won every congressional race, all state constitutional offices and made significant gains in the state legislature. Now 64 of 100 House members and 24 of 35 state senators will be Republicans.

By the numbers 61 percent: The percentage of votes Secretary of State Mark Martin received in his re-election bid. Martin, who shares a name with a famous race car driver, was arguably the least competent candidate for constitutional office, yet he received the largest share of votes among those running for statewide office.

54 percent: The percentage of voters in Saline County who opposed the ballot proposal to allow alcohol sales in all counties, which ultimately failed. The same percentage approved allowing the sale of alcohol in Saline County.

42 percent: The margin of victory for state Rep. Jim Dotson (R-Bentonville), an extremist Republican with a paltry record of legislative success who was opposed by Leah Williams, a Democrat with a sterling resume and the rare support of the Walton family.

Calling Tim Cook As Fayetteville prepares for a Dec. 9 referendum on its civil rights ordinance, which forbids employment and housing discrimination against LGBT people and other protected classes, the city’s Chamber of Commerce has inserted itself into the wrong side of 6

STATE OF CONFUSION: Former state Treasurer Martha Shoffner’s legal team had a plea deal worked out with federal prosecutors concering her use of campaign money for personal expenses; when Shoffner bungled the deal, Judge Leon Holmes ordered the case to trial.

the debate. Last week, the Fayetteville Chamber unanimously adopted a resolution calling for repeal of the ordinance on technical grounds, saying the law is “vague” and “incomplete.”

Keep Fayetteville Fair, a group formed to defend the ordinance, fired back at the Chamber. “Repeal is out of step with the majority of Fortune 500 companies in the United States,” said the group. Most big businesses have concluded that retrograde views on sexuality have become nothing but a liability, which is why they, including Walmart, have adopted their own internal nondiscrimination policies.

It’s downright sad that the Fayetteville Chamber is so far behind.

Same song, new verse on Monday: In return for Shoffner’s pleading guilty to a single count of mail fraud in federal court on Monday, federal prosecutors were going to drop five additional charges. But again Shoffner hedged in answering presiding Judge Leon Holmes’ questions about whether she had used campaign money to pay off a credit card, and the plea deal was scrapped.

The net effect is a 70-year-old woman, already facing up to 20 years in prison for earlier convictions, faces the possibility of spending the rest of her life behind bars.

Martha, Martha, Martha For the second time, former Arkansas Treasurer Martha Shoffner bungled her part in a plea hearing related to her use of campaign money for personal expenses. She’d earlier been convicted of taking payments from a securities salesman in return for a big share of state investment business when she was treasurer. Her trial followed an initial plea hearing at which she was expected to enter a negotiated plea. But she didn’t answer the judge’s questions conclusively enough on her guilt on that occasion and the deal was scrapped.

Quote of the week 2 “Absolutely not.”

—Dennis Milligan, Republican Treasurer-elect, when asked by the Arkansas Times’ David Ramsey if

he planned to celebrate his election victory at a Krispy Kreme. Milligan made an unsuccessful attempt to blackmail his GOP primary opponent, Rep. Duncan Baird, out of the race with what turned out to be an innocuous video. Milligan was widely rumored to be wearing sunglasses during the encounter, which took place at a Krispy Kreme.

Exit stage right NBC exit poll numbers from last week’s midterm election only rubbed salt in Arkansas Democrats’ many wounds. Women, who traditionally skew Democratic, favored Tom Cotton by almost 10 percentage points (Cotton’s advantage with male voters was 24 percent). Young people also tend to vote for Democrats, but not this time: Among 18-24 year-olds, Cotton narrowly beat Mark Pryor (48-47).

Ditto on those patterns in the governor’s race.

Black voters stuck with the Democratic Party, at least, with 90 percent of African Americans picking Mike Ross for governor and 97 percent favoring Pryor. And most lower-income voters went for Democrats; the group earning under $30,000 chose Ross by a 15-point margin. In contrast, voters in the highest income category ($200,000 and up) chose Cotton over Pryor by almost 3-to-1.

OPINION

Brave new Arkansas

O

uch.

I didn’t have many winners last Tuesday night.

Let’s accentuate the positive. Voters overwhelmingly approved an increase in the state minimum wage. When it rises to $8.50 an hour by 2017, Arkansas might pay more than required by the federal minimum wage, now at $7.25.

Two highly qualified Democratic lawyers, Clarke Tucker of Little Rock and Camille Bennett of Lonoke, survived the Republican surge that increased GOP House seats from 51 to 64.

Sherwood passed a library tax increase.

Ummmmm. I guess that’s about it.

Arkansas’s entire congressional delegation, all seven statewide offices, 64 of 100 House members and 24 of 35 Senators will be Republicans.

Individual candidates such as Tom Cotton, the U.S. Senate winner, and their staffs would love to analyze these results with heroic tales of sophisticated strat-

egy and superior ground games.

I see it more simply. Arkansas is now a party-line Republican state MAX after decades of BRANTLEY being a party-line maxbrantley@arktimes.com Democratic state — a culmination of many things climaxing with one big one, President Obama. But consider Cotton. Some $32 million was spent to elect him and yet he finished with smaller percentage of the vote than that received by most statewide office winners, whom most voters could not name without a cheat sheet. The racial divide was stark: How does Mark Pryor 344, Tom Cotton 0 in College Station, Ark., strike you?

A significant number of winning Republicans ran on vows to repeal Obamacare. Should that push succeed on the state level, new Gov. Asa Hutchinson’s fiscal and management skills will be tested.

Lobbyist shocker: Ethics law passage

B

ig business went to bed election night with dreamy benedictions for Arkansas voters, who had finally seen things its way and elected swarms of Republicans who did not think of government as protector of consumers and working stiffs.

But dawn brought the awful revelation that while they had elected Tea Party-brand Republicans all over the state, the voters were as fickle as ever. Oh, business interests and the Republican Party were resigned to the landslide passage of a big hike in the minimum wage, that old Democratic chimera, but they did not expect the voters to also clip business’ power over legislation.

That is what they seemed to do when they ratified Ballot Issue 3, the ethics, salaries and expanded-term-limits amendment to the state Constitution; or, as it is officially called, The Arkansas Elected Officials, Ethics Transparency, and Financial Reform Amendment of 2014.

Starting at midnight last Wednesday, five hours after the polls closed, lobbyists and their employers could no longer buy a legislator or another state official even a whiskey sour or a cup of coffee without committing a crime. And corporations can no longer drop money in the campaign account of anyone holding or running for a state elective office. If you want to be absolutely certain that your nursing homes

are simpatico with the new Republican attorney general, Leslie Rutledge, who will run the Medicaid and ERNEST nursing home fraud DUMAS office after Jan. 12, it’s too late unless you want to send her a personal check of up to $2,000.

“This shuts us all down — we’re out of business,” was the overwrought reaction of one contract lobbyist Wednesday morning after he had looked at the final returns on Issue 3. It was the only one of the five ballot issues that was expected, even by its authors, to go down in a landslide. Instead, it passed by 40,000 votes.

The Arkansas State Chamber of Commerce heard the anguished cries and by afternoon had summoned the fifth estate, as the lobbying industry is known, to its headquarters for a strategy session on the new law. Reportedly 120 showed up.

Soon there will be opinion requests to the attorney general or the state Ethics Commission to see if loopholes can be opened in the tightly written amendment that will allow lobbyists, in some way, to wine, dine and entertain legislators as they have since yore. The authors, state Rep. Warwick Sabin of Little Rock, a Democrat,

Further tax cutting will be impossible without big spending cuts. Human services would be first — from sick children to elderly in nursing homes. The pot of money normally sequestered for schools would be ripe for poaching. Growth in university support would be unlikely.

In this, there’s potential for minority Democrats to distinguish themselves.

Schools once were a popular cause. They didn’t triumph for Mike Ross in his losing campaign to Asa Hutchinson, who talked jobs. But schools retain bipartisan support in many parts of the state, so a Democratic push to be a strong voice on Education and Insurance (think teacher health insurance) committees could give them a platform for leadership. They still constitute enough of a minority to be a factor in spending bills.

There’s room for Democrats to distinguish themselves, too, in the big election surprise: voter approval of Issue 3. If a pending lawsuit doesn’t overturn it, legislators will be able to serve longer and an independent commission (whose members they’ll appoint) can give them big pay

and expense raises without the necessity of a legislative roll-call vote. I hope the pay raises won’t be overly greedy and I particularly hope the commission will end per diem abuse (legislators claim the expense payment even for days they don’t go to the Capitol.). It also would be nice to get legislators’ spouses off the payroll in pay supplements thinly disguised as office expenses.

I was conflicted on Issue 3 for a variety of reasons (plus dead wrong in thinking it would be defeated). But it contains important ethical changes. It prohibits lobbyist expenditures on legislators and prohibits direct corporate campaign contributions to candidates. Lobbyists are madly searching for loopholes. The loyal opposition could do worse than to battle to prevent loopholes and even strengthen the law.

The partisan numbers will get worse for Democrats before they get better, if the rest of Dixie is an indication. How to go forward? Pick spots where they might influence policies that help people and increase confidence in government. Tall order, I know.

and Sen. Jon Woods of Springdale, a Republican, believe their law is airtight.

But they work against an adage — that money in politics, like rainwater, will find its way to where it wants to go, law or no law.

How did all this happen?

Sabin, a youthful idealist, went to the House in 2013 with two goals, to work with the other party and to pass a strict code of ethics governing legislators and other elected state officials, which had escaped others since Doug Brandon wrote the first ethics law. Brandon’s was watered down before it passed in the 1970s. Woods joined Sabin and thought the law also should do something about the system of compensating legislators and constitutional officers, which left them underpaid and forever crafting subterfuges to pay themselves adequately.

The Republican House Speaker, Davy Carter of Cabot, said, look, if you will also amend it so that legislators can stay in office longer than six years in the House and eight years in the Senate, we’ll all jump on board and refer it to the voters. (The amendment allows someone to stay in the legislature for up to 16 years, 18 in rare instances.)

Republicans generally are stout on term limits but once they get in office they realize the value of staying long enough to gain wisdom. Sabin and Woods obliged and the House passed the resolution 71-12 and the Senate 23-4.

Either the Republican lawmakers wanted to sabotage the ethics law by tying it to the unpopular term-limits liberalization

or else they underestimated the opposition.

Term-limits people are fanatical. They spent heavily to defeat the issue, rolling a giant wooden horse through the streets to expose the measure’s dark secret, which was that in the guise of ethics it undid Arkansas’s 20-year-old term limits.

How do you explain the voters? Are they that strong on ethics? Did they not realize that it sharply increased legislative longevity? Or did they think that since they were voting solidly Republican anyway they might as well support the whole Republican legislative program, including the three legislative amendments?

By late summer, the Republican platform had called on voters to stomp the ethics amendment and the citizen-led and Democrat-backed minimum wage, but the voters demurred.

Now, lobbyists, their employers and lawyers, along with legislators, are scouring the law for tiny cracks, like stretching the word “office” to mean “a person holding an office” in a section exempting from the gift-food ban an event where a whole governmental body or “office” is invited.

The assumption is that, without all the blandishments of lobbying, big business — whether utilities, the insurance industry, oil, banks or racetracks — can no longer get its mandates across to legislators. Of course, if they have them in their pockets from the outset, just philosophically, it shouldn’t make any difference. Republicans sometimes prove capricious. www.arktimes.com

The film weaves together two stories that attempt to humanize the immigrant experience: In one, officials try to identify a dead man found in the Arizona desert with a tattoo of the words “Dayani Cristal” and no other form of identification. The other narrative follows filmmaker and actor Gael García Bernal (above) as he portrays a migrant traveling from Honduras.

Time to govern

T

his too shall pass. In the bipolar gong show of Washington politics, it’s the Republicans’ turn. Count on them to opt for televised spectacle over governing. It’s what they do.

You think a guy like Texas Sen. Ted Cruz will be dutifully attending committee meetings and painstakingly crafting legislation? Not as long as President Obama’s still in the White House and there are TV cameras on the premises.

There’s actually an editorial in the influential conservative magazine National Review entitled “The Governing Trap.”

It argues for two more years of Animal House Republicanism: “If voters come to believe that a Republican Congress and a Democratic president are doing a fine job of governing together, why wouldn’t they vote to continue the arrangement in 2016?”

See, it’s not about helping you or me; it’s about power.

Speaking of 2016, does anybody imagine the pendulum has stopped swinging?

Here’s the deal: The GOP made big Senate gains in 2004, 2010 and 2014, the Democrats in 2006, 2008 and 2012.

Comes the 2016 presidential election year, 24 of 34 incumbent senators will be Republicans — seven in states that Obama won twice.

Former Clinton Labor Secretary Robert Reich is so old he can remember back when Rush Limbaugh’s personal hero became Speaker of the House: “I was in the Clinton administration Election Day 1994 when Democrats lost both houses of Congress and Newt Gingrich became king of the Hill,” he writes.

“It was horrible. But you know what? It created all sorts of opportunities. It smoked Republicans out. They could no longer hide behind blue-dog Democrats. Americans saw them for who they were. Gingrich became the most hated man in America.

The 1994 election also marked the end of the coalition of conservative Republicans and Southern Democrats that had controlled much of Congress since the end of the New Deal.”

Meanwhile, however, those blue-dog Democrats have nearly all become Republicans. I’d argue that the demise of regionally- and ideologically-diverse American political parties — i.e. of liberal Republicans and conservative Southern Democrats — has brought paralysis to Washington.

Always and everywhere, certitude is the enemy of compromise. After all, if God says that cutting tycoons’ income taxes leads to higher revenues and enhanced prosperity, it would be sinful to notice that it’s never actually happened.

Gingrich got elected due to the Clinton tax increases of 1993, which every single

Republican in Congress voted against amid universal predictions of doom.

The actual result turned out to be GENE 25 million new LYONS jobs and a balanced budget.

What’s more, does anybody remember that the supposed rationale for President Bush’s 2001 tax cuts was that paying down the national debt too soon might stifle investment? Certainly nobody in the Tea Party does.

Meanwhile, count me among those who think that even “red state” Democrats who ran away from President Obama as if he had Ebola made a big mistake. (Remember Ebola? It’s so last week, I know. However, I await apologies from readers of the Chicken Little persuasion who objected to my writing that politicizing a disease was contemptible and the danger of a serious outbreak extremely small.)

But back to Obama. It’s true that his overall approval rating stands at 43 percent. Also, however, the Republican Congress checks in at 13 percent. The president remains quite popular among the kinds of Democrats who mostly sat out the 2014 election.

True, many voters don’t understand how deep and dangerous a hole the U.S. economy had fallen into in 2008; nor that unemployment has dropping sharply; the stock market’s more than doubled; and that the federal budget deficit has dropped from 9.8 percent to a fiscally sustainable 2.9 percent of GDP on Obama’s watch.

But they’ll never know if Democrats don’t tell them.

Probably a candidate like Arkansas Sen. Mark Pryor was doomed anyway.

But how could anybody imagine the ropea-dope tactic would work? The same is true regarding Obamacare. Why not praise the law’s popular features and talk about fixing the rest? The Republicans have no health insurance plan except back to the bad old days of “pre-existing conditions” and get sick/get canceled.

On the defensive, Democrats have articulated no persuasive plan for fixing what New York Times economics writer Dave Leonhardt calls “The Great Wage Slowdown.”

“Median inflation-adjusted income last year” he writes “was still $2,100 lower than when President Obama took office in 2009 — and $3,600 lower than when President George W. Bush took office in 2001.”

Well, they’d better find one. Meanwhile, the GOP/Animal House plan is well known: Cut Scrooge McDuck’s taxes; keep yelling Obama, Obama, Obama.

ake as many derisive “Arkansas didn’t lose this week!” jokes as you wish, but the Hogs actually gained something from the bye week.

Just as the first bye after the Texas A&M defeat was useful salve for a bunch that got slugged in the gut with that overtime loss, this one was opportune since Mississippi State thwarted the Razorbacks’ latest brave but faltering bid for a nationwide splash.

That’s what the in-house consequences are: Bret Bielema’s staff can prepare for LSU knowing that the team is physically healthy, and motivated to finish strong after stinging losses have again put them in dicey straits for postseason consideration.

Outside Arkansas, the effect is greater.

LSU will be doubtless depleted after the Tigers, well, pulled an Arkansas. They had Alabama teetering at Death Valley Saturday night in one more splendid chapter in that rivalry, and when T.J. Yeldon winced and watched the ball skitter away from him inside the Alabama 10 in the late stages, everything was set up for another of those Richter-registering, sour mash-abusing nights in the bayou.

Except LSU got really dumb and really lazy at the worst time. A penalty that could be described as nothing less than moronic took the pedestrian Tiger offense out of touchdown’s reach, and they ultimately settled for the field goal. That enabled a composed ’Bama offense to take a few baby steps and two big jumps down to the red zone; the tying field goal attempt was true, the Tide’s opening possession of overtime started with 24 quick yards on a well-designed throw, and Blake Sims tossed the eventual winning score to DeAndrew White two plays later. LSU squandered its overtime possession.

What all did the 20-13 loss do to the Tigers? Well, for starters, it took them smooth out of the jumbled SEC West picture for good. With two league losses, and with Auburn dropping its second earlier in the day, LSU had ideas of knocking the Crimson Tide out for a second league loss and claiming that head-to-head matchup.

It would’ve created the sort of cosmic and karmic brand of flux that Les Miles practically thrives on.

Instead, Arkansas — yes, 17 consecutive conference losses in tow — enters the Battle of the Boot on Saturday as a marginal favorite against the Tigers.

Why? Well, the Hogs have taken the top two teams in the West, in disparate locations, to the final gun. They’ve also got three very ripe chances to make everyone forget about the aforesaid skid, and an obvious hunger to end it all, with the

effort and talent thoroughly supporting that. And they take on an LSU team that is fresh off an enorBEAU mously deflatWILCOX ing and brutally physical game, and almost pathologically unprepared to play even an ailing or deficient Hogs team from season to season.

They also have a quarterback problem.

Anthony Jennings has some skill, which he regrettably first put on public display in leading the Tigers on a 99-yard gamewinning drive last November against the Hogs, but he’s shown himself to be erratic (47 percent completion rate) and shockingly ineffective in the running game (15 sacks have contributed to his pedestrian 157 total rushing yards this year). The greatness of LSU’s skill people has been accordingly muted, as Leonard Fournette hasn’t made quite the anticipated splash as a breakaway threat, with only one run longer than 25 yards for the touted frosh.

With Brandon Harris getting occasional snaps, there’s room to think this is another Jarrett Lee-Jordan Jefferson situation, where Les Miles basically swaps these guys on a whim for, oh, about three solid seasons. Travin Dural looked like an explosive receiver after four games, three of which had him surpassing 100 yards by a wide margin; since that time, he’s grabbed 12 catches for only 207 yards in six games, and regarded newcomer Malachi Dupre has all but disappeared, too. The bottom line is that, yet again, LSU seems replete with raw speed and shiftiness in the backfield, physical specimens on the edge, and nary a hint of how to utilize it all.

As such, you’d anticipate that Arkansas’s resurgent defense will be on toes rather than heels Saturday night at Razorback Stadium, and chilly conditions might suitably energize the Hogs’ front to the extent that they’ll revisit their Texas Tech and Texas A&M performances, opening gaping holes for the running backs. Korliss Marshall’s likely to play into that as well, presuming he’s earned his keep again. We’ve been just shy of preseason projection (4-5, 0-5 is a Georgia win shy of the 5-4, 1-4 that Pearls expected), and for this game, we unexpectedly feel the same way in November that we did two solid months ago: LSU is, at the moment, more of a paper Tiger than anything, and it is unquestionably the opportunity that Bielema has craved. For a change, Arkansas is getting a formidable team in a perceived moment of weakness, rather than at its apparent zenith.

THE OBSERVER NOTES ON THE PASSING SCENE

Viva la Resistance!

T

he Observer, being a longstanding hardcore lefty, was — to say the least — disappointed by the results of the election. Lots of hangdog faces in the office come the morn on Nov. 5. Lots of folks talking about the idea that there’d been a sea change in Arkansas politics, one that won’t be reversed until we go over the cliff into Kochhead Feudalism, if even then. What do you expect from Arkansas voters, a friend told us, when you’ve got the Democratic senator from Arkansas waving around a Bible in campaign ads, trying to out-Right the Republican? We, being a wounded wiseass, then quoted a bit of scripture: Book of Mark, 11:4: “Be not as the Dempublicans who flee from great and righteous deeds, for they shall fall into the abyss of unemployment.” But we digress.

The Observer, a tenacious fool of some renown, has a tendency to buckle down our chinstrap, get mad and go on the offensive at times like these — a hereditary disposition of the good people of Arkansas, where much of the soil is rocky and the nights were once full of bears. So we wrote something and sent it to a few people in the office. Wasn’t supposed to go further than that, but it wound up being posted on the Arkansas Blog and shared all over by people who found something hopeful in it. That made The Observer feel, for the first time since the results started coming in on Election Night, that we hadn’t somehow been rendered a stranger in our own land.

Boss Millar suggested we reprint it here, and we can’t say no to that. So, here’s hoping it brings you some comfort, too, Dear Lefties, wherever you are. Keep the faith, and keep fighting. Arkansas and her people are worth it: LIKE A LOT OF PEOPLE I KNOW, I was messed up about the election results last night. Went to bed sad, got up sad, made dire predictions of the future to my kid (at which point he said: “It’s Arkansas, Dad. How much worse can it get?” At 14, he does have a knack for cutting through the bullshit.)

Driving to work through the rain, frowning, I started thinking about all this, trying to get some perspective on where

we’re all headed. Then I started thinking about where the Arkansas Times stands now. Here’s what I thought: Do you honestly think that Rush Limbaugh, in private, was moping around the day after Election Day 2012 because Obama won a second term?

Hell no, he wasn’t. He was smiling and smoking fat cigars, because he knows which side his bread is buttered on. He knows that to this country’s crop of Right Wing nutcases, he is the voice of the Resistance.

Arkansas Times is now back to where it all started: the voice of the Resistance.

We’re the voice — the main voice, if not the sole voice — of the 40 percent of this state that voted against Regressivism yesterday. We’re a major voice for the LGBT community. We’re the voice of the environment, of the Left, of a woman’s right to choose, of the little guy, of the Latino community, of minorities in general.

We’re the voice of people who want fair wages for fair work, and the voice of anticorporatism and anti-greed. We’re the voice of those who want a reasonable social safety net, and of people rotting in jail for crimes they did not commit, or crimes that didn’t warrant the sentence that was given. We’re the voice of those pushing back against Theocracy, Plutocracy and Idiocracy. We’re the voice of the homeless, the forgotten and the underfed. We’re the voice of the people who believe Arkansas’s brightest future is in moving forward, not backward to The Good Ol’ Days that never really existed in the first place.

So, I thought to myself: You’re one of the few people who woke up this morning with the power to do something about all this. You get PAID to fight back against the forces that put Two-Gun Tommy and Asa! and Leslie “Dat Po Chile Done Not Be De Daddy” Rutledge in office. So, I said to myself, stop your moping and BE the Resistance, even if our chances are grim and slim. Stand with those who are working for tomorrow, not 1955. Now that the Republican dog has finally caught the car, hold them accountable for what they do with it. Let the people who voted for a better Arkansas know that we are still here, and still ready to fight, and if they’ll stand behind us and with us (and help us keep the lights on), we will.

IN S IDE R

The Republican election sweep is done, but questions linger before the Ethics Commission about a rise in coordination between political candidates and independent political organizations.

One is the obvious coordination between Leslie Rutledge, the winning candidate for attorney general, who appeared in ads helping her candidacy by the Center for Individual Freedom, a dark money national group. State law is looser than federal law on campaign coordination; but, as we’ve noted before, if an independent group’s TV ad featuring the candidate is not viewed by the Ethics Commission as a contribution to a candidate’s campaign, we will have seen the end of any meaningful regulation of campaign contributions and spending.

Democratic campaign consultant Jason Willett of Jonesboro tells the Arkansas Times he’ll be pursuing his complaint related to the Conduit for Action and Commerce in Action, related political groups that worked heavily in the sweep of Republican candidates in Jonesboro that turned out Democratic incumbents in favor of Tea Party-style Republicans. The initial complaint was over actions in support of Brandt Smith, who ousted Rep. Harold Copenhaver (D-Jonesboro).

Willett has compiled several videos of news conferences at which Brenda Vassaur Taylor of the Conduit groups appears and is thanked by the local Republican candidates for her help. One video features a news conference at which anti-private option Sens. Gary Stubblefield (R-Branch), Scott Flippo (R-Mountain Home), Terry Rice (R-Waldron), Bryan King (R-Green Forest), Cecile Bledsoe (R-Rogers) and others participate.

Willett says he has further complaints in the works about the coordinated activity, including against Stubblefield, who’s said he will mount a challenge to Sen. Jonathan Dismang (R-Searcy) for Senate leadership.

Willett’s view is that it doesn’t look too good for a would-be leader to be dancing around the ethics law so blatantly.

Stonewalled by Cotton Talking Points Memo, the national political website, churned out a little feature on Monday on an item on the Arkansas Blog last week about the refusal of Tom Cotton’s communications man, David Ray, to allow anyone from the Arkansas Times to listen in on a conference call about the campaign’s media strategy and polling work.

ike most local people, maybe, it’s been about 10 years since I went to see the permanent exhibits at the William J. Clinton Presidential Center.

Temporary exhibits, yes, and lunch at Forty Two, yes. But no trip to the replica of the

Oval Office or the gifts to the country or letters to the president.

Last week, I decided to go back to see those exhibits, largely unchanged since 2004, again. There is the huge screen that shows scenes from the 1993 inauguration, a

larger-than-life Maya Angelou reciting her poem, Bill and a sparkling-blue-gowned Hillary dancing and smiling and 22 years younger. The Oval Office, whose ceiling Clinton had rebuilt to make higher, his memory more accurate than the exhibit builder’s, with its bust of Franklin D. Roosevelt on the replicated Resolute desk. The economy exhibit, “From Deficit to Surplus,” with its ticker-tape display and its reminder that Clinton balanced the budget and erased the deficit. Hard to imagine.

INSIDER, CONT. told Senior Editor Max Brantley the Arkansas Times hasn’t “acted in good faith,” without elaborating.

Ironic note: The TPM article describes Brantley as a “liberal in a red state.” True.

But the article links to a 2007 article The New Republic did about Brantley’s similarly ill-fated relationship with Gov. Mike Huckabee, then a presidential candidate. That article described Huckabee as being “a conservative Republican in a resolutely Democratic state.”

Hah. Talking Points Memo, by the way, didn’t have any more luck talking to David Ray than many other people do.

The Arkansas rattler Here’s a tonic for Arkansas liberals who had a bad week. An Arkansas progressive led a drive against mighty Chevron Oil in a Big Oil company town and won. Tom Butt, a 70-year-old architect, Arkansas native and University of Arkansas grad, is the hero of this tale. He won the mayor’s seat in a town that finally had enough of Chevron running roughshod over health and environmental concerns in the big refinery center on San Francisco Bay. According to NPR, Chevron spent $3 million on behalf of one of Butt’s opponents, Nat Bates. Butt spent $50,000 and won by 16 percentage points.

Make sure you check out Butt’s campaign theme song, “The Arkansas Rattlesnake,” on the Arkansas Blog at arktimes.com/rattlesnake. Winners danced to the song at the victory party.

Hill a ‘no’ vote on minimum wage David Ramsey, making the rounds of election celebrations on Nov. 4, asked 2nd Congressional District winner French Hill if he’d voted for the minimum wage increase. He said he did not.

Most Republicans — notably Senate winner Tom Cotton and the next governor, Asa Hutchinson — put aside reservations about a minimum wage and earlier announced they’d vote for the measure, overwhelmingly approved by voters. Hill had avoided a direct answer, saying until the election was over only that he had wanted to study it more for possible negative economic consequences.

Democrats worked to put the measure on ballots here and elsewhere as a supposed benefit to their candidates.

Voters liked a minimum wage increase, but didn’t like Democratic candidates much. www.arktimes.com

ogy (“I have done wrong”), a reminder of the partisan obsession over the president’s sexual misdeeds, so ugly at the time but nowhere near the tenor of today’s partisan hatred of Clinton’s black Democratic successor.

The lead-up to the opening of the Clinton Center 10 years ago was fraught with a kind of drama, thanks to the battle with the landowner over the city’s claim of emi-

nent domain, lawsuits over city funding, the threat of an anti-Clinton museum. It was also a time of great anticipation and excitement, as the library (as it’s most often referred to) rose from the ground. The opening ceremony, on Nov. 18, 2004, while sodden — there was a daylong downpour for the outdoor event — brought huge numbers of celebrities to town, along with President George Bush, his father and Jimmy

Carter, gamely huddled under umbrellas.

The library opened to much acclaim, its design and exhibits impressive, despite the ribbing that the long glass and metal frame looked less like a bridge to the 21st century than a trailer. Its sleek design, however, has worn well.

In the decade since it opened, there have been 3.3 million visits to the library, with yearly counts increasing every year since

2008, coincidently when another Democratic administration came in. Arkansans keep coming back for the temporary exhibits — Madeleine Albright’s famous pins, the exhibit of 30 Oscar de la Renta gowns, an exhibit on the St. Louis Cardinals baseball team, the current exhibit of glass by the famed Northwestern artist Chihuly, his trademark seashaped vessels and glorious sketches glowing in a gallery darkened to heighten the effect.

A huge draw to the public is the distinctive speaker series offered by the school Clinton founded on the Clinton Center grounds: the University of Arkansas Clinton School of Public Service. The school opened in the old Choctaw train station simultaneously with the library in 2004 and admitted its first class in 2005. It has graduated 221 students, with classes growing from 16 the first year to 40 to 50 a year now. The school’s speaker series, which Dean Skip Rutherford credits Sen. David Pryor with creating and Nikolai DiPippa with its continued success, features speakers from across the political spectrum and touching on all issues of intellectual inquiry. They have ranged from Sen. Bob Dole, who inaugurated the series, to speakers like Joan Cashin, who spoke on Southern women and the Civil War; Bob Hupp and panels of actors previewing upcoming performances at the Arkansas Repertory Theatre; former HUD Secretary Henry Cisneros on housing, James K. Galbraith on the economy. John Hibbing on the biology of political differences.

James Veteto on culture and barbecue in the South; Dr. Sanjay Gupta on medicine; Mary Matalin and James Carville on politics. Arthur Agee of “Hoop Dreams,” for a 20th anniversary talk, Ben Cohen of Ben and Jerry’s Ice Cream on education. From Clinton’s defeated GOP opponent to the genius behind “Stephen Colbert’s Americone Dream,” speakers have included 39 ambassadors, 21 Pulitzer prize recipients and seven Nobel Prize winners and presented a total of 924 programs to date, talks attended by more than 159,000 folks.

The Clinton Center’s educational program, directed by Joyce Willis, has drawn thousands of schoolchildren since it began offering programming in 2006. From October 2013 to September 2014 alone, 35,585 schoolchildren from all over Arkansas came to the library. If schools can’t afford the bus ride, the Clinton Foundation will provide grants to pick up the costs.

You might think that school kids might not thrill to the replica of the Cabinet room and touch screen displays that tell the story of Kosovo or welfare reform. But Willis provides civics teachers with materials to prepare kids to role-play in the Cabinet room, and that makes all the difference.

THINKING ABOUT TOMORROW: Clinton with some of the thousands of Arkansas schoolchildren who visit the Clinton Center around the year.

Kids from Carlisle or McGehee or Mount Ida — some of whom have never been to Little Rock, much less Washington, D.C. — assume the characters of the president and the secretaries to act out the decisionmaking process. In summer, there are weeklong camps, like space camp.

Every February, students at Parkview Magnet High School for the Performing Arts perform an original black history program; the program in 2015 will focus on the 150th anniversary of the end of the Civil War. Younger kids visiting the Chihuly exhibit have learned about color and written poems about art. Next semester, students at Little Rock Preparatory Academy will have civics and history lessons twice a month at the library.

In all, more than 200,000 children have spent time learning at the library.

Outside the building, the Clinton Presidential Park’s beautifully groomed 30 acres, with their earthen peaks and valleys, the wetlands restoration and the remaking of the Rock Island Railroad Bridge into a pedestrian and bike crossing over the Arkansas River draw kids on cardboard sleds and nature lovers and cyclists and people seeking a place of quiet green space.

Some would say the greatest impact of the Clinton Center has not been in the way it has elevated our cultural life and our national reputation as a place with an intellectual pulse, but as a driver of the economy, perhaps the greatest dynamo to Little Rock’s vitality ever.

decided to build his library at the end of Markham Street, the once-derelict business district was already undergoing change for the better, thanks to the multimillion-dollar, taxpayer-funded creation of the River Market and Museum Center, the building of the Verizon (then Alltel) Arena across the river and Little Rock’s expanded Convention Center. Central Arkansas Library System Director Bobby Roberts had made the significant move to put the Main Library in the old Fones warehouse. More development would have come, but slowly. The Clinton library was oxygen to that ember, lighting a fire of development that today is spreading south of the River Market district and on to Main Street. Or as Rett Tucker, who with Jimmy Moses has developed much of the River Market district, likes to say, “We were grinding out the yardage, and the Clinton library was the 50-yard pass moved us way down the field.”

Development just as and since the Clinton Center opened in 2004: The Courtyard Marriott, which opened just in time for the dedication of the new library. Highrise condos at 300 Third. River Market Tower, another high-rise condo development that includes a grocery and a pub on the ground floor. The Capital Commerce Building at River Market Avenue and Third Street. The Axciom building.

Heifer International. The Arkansas Studies Institute, across the street from the River Market, which houses the Butler Center for Arkansas Studies and Clin-

ton’s gubernatorial paper and classroom space for the Clinton School. The new Arcade Building, with its state-of-the-art theater and the Little Rock Film Festival headquarters, along with a new restaurant and retail. The Residence Inn, another Marriott development. The Hampton Inn and Suites. The Hilton Homewood Suites, going up at River Market Avenue and Fifth Street. The MacArthur Commons apartment development by Moses Tucker.

The Clinton Foundation estimates that the Clinton Center has brought more than $2.5 billion in economic development to downtown Little Rock.

The Little Rock Regional Chamber of Commerce is working on its own study of the library’s impact. The Little Rock Convention and Visitors Bureau says tourism tax revenues have risen 64.5 percent since 2003, and the number of tourists in 2013 — 4,752,929 — topped 2003 numbers by 1.4 million. Joe Capuzzello, who helps destination planners choose cities to promote and has held conferences here four times since 2006, said the Clinton Center is “a pretty big piece” of the promotional package.

“Wherever you fall politically, Clinton is an icon, part of Americana.”

Skip Rutherford recalls a day in the library when he overheard a child telling his teacher that “Someday I could grow up to be president.” That’s exactly what Bill Clinton hoped the Clinton Center would do: Think about tomorrow, and what could be.

Actor Kevin Spacey — who happens to portray a Southern congressman in the Netflix series “House of Cards” — will be the master of ceremonies at “Celebrate Ten: A Community Concert,” the Clinton Presidential Center anniversary’s big musical event set for 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 15, on the presidential park grounds.

A NEW GOVERNOR FOR A NEW ERA: Asa and Susan Hutchinson celebrate on election night.

The GOP in charge What will it mean for Arkansas?

T

ime to welcome our new overlords.

We kid. Arkansas may be the new Oklahoma, but we’ll still be here, raising hell. There’s no crying in baseball or politics. We are under no illusions that our newspaper can stop the red wave in Arkansas. That doesn’t mean we won’t be shouting.

We’ve been shouting, after all, for a long time. Part of this paper’s lineage is the Arkansas Gazette, which committed itself to pushing back against demagogues with a D by their name. Our purpose has never been partisan politics. Yes, we expect the new era of Republican oneparty rule in the state to do all manner of harm. That’s a sobering thought, but it’s also not the end of the world.

BY BENJAMIN HARDY AND DAVID RAMSEY

There’s still a state to run — schools, highways, the criminal justice system, social services. Sometimes mainstream Republicans will be on the right side of maintaining health care coverage for the state’s poorest citizens; sometimes Tea Party Republicans will be allies in pushing back against the good ol’ boy network at the University of Arkansas or advocating for more transparency in government. And sometimes, of course, the GOP majority will be plain wrong. Sen. Joyce Elliott (D-Little Rock) has the right rallying cry: “I know about being in the minority! So, all I can say is — bring it on!”

This is our home, and the fact that our neighbors voted differently from us doesn’t change that. Part of loving this

place, for us, is shining light on the leaders — regardless of party — who would take us backward, who appeal to our ugliest instincts, who protect the powerful and trample on the vulnerable. It’s calling the liars and the corrupt and the bullies to account. It is digging for the truth that might be buried; it is speaking for those who might not be heard and telling the stories that might not be told.

A little after midnight after the election, outside of the GOP victory party at the Embassy Suites, a couple dozen Republican men in suits — lawmakers, politicos, lobbyists — lit up cigars. It was Wednesday, a new day in Arkansas, and they were ready to get to work.

Time for us to get to work, too. Here’s

a look at the stories to watch.

The lonely crowd Here’s the thing. Republicans have a clear majority in Arkansas, there’s no doubt about that. But more than 40 percent of the state’s residents lean toward the D side of the aisle. And there are pockets of the state where Democrats are still the majority. For the most part, these folks are not going to get what they want politically for the next two years, but their voices deserve to be heard, and they deserve vigorous representation from what’s left of the Democratic Party.

Being the minority party is no fun (just ask Arkansas Republicans of yesteryear).

Well, boo hiss. Elected representatives CONTINUED ON PAGE 18 www.arktimes.com

who are worth a damn do their best work when the chips are down.

To name just a few: House Minority Leader Eddie Armstrong (D-North Little Rock) is a strong-willed leader who will hold the caucus together. Rep. Joe Jett (D-Success) is a well-liked, no-nonsense political operator who’s a master of the backroom deal. Rep. Warwick Sabin (D-Little Rock) is a whipsmart, principled progressive who has managed to build coalitions with unlikely conservative partners before. Rep. Deborah Ferguson (D-West Memphis) has been a fearless and pragmatic voice of reason. Recently elected Rep. Clarke Tucker (D-Little Rock) is a rising star who Gov. Mike Beebe called the “best political talent of his generation that I have personally witnessed.” Sen. Joyce Elliott always has been, and always will be, a powerhouse.

We’ll have our disagreements with all of them, but our point here is that there is political talent on the smaller side of

the aisle. To be frank, in the old days of Democratic dominance, there were too many lazy hacks in the legislature.

Democrats are the minority now, perhaps for a very long time. Now is the time to be hungry. Now is the time for creativity, guts, procedural maneuvering, deal-making, cajoling. Now is the time to outhustle and outwork the majority, which will have every advantage.

Everyone understands that the Democrats are going to lose more battles than they will win. That doesn’t mean that the minority party has to be irrelevant.

They can make gains, inch by inch, in committees, in backrooms, in the public dialogue and debate. Sometimes the only option will be powerful and vocal resistance, to go down fighting. That matters, too.

Most Capitol observers are already writing the Democrats out of the story.

The question is whether they can find a way, against all odds, to write themselves in.

The split Just because Arkansas appears bound for one-party rule does not mean politics will be drama-free. Republicans are dominant, but dig a little deeper and you can almost see a three-way split in the legislature: one-third Tea Party Republicans, one-third establishment Republicans, and one-third Democrats.

(An interesting tidbit from an NBC exit poll, by the way: Arkansas voters were split into thirds on their views of the Tea Party, between favorable, neutral and unfavorable.)

One of the most fascinating subplots on election night was how distraught some GOP lawmakers from the establishment wing were despite the sweep of victories. Scanning the faces at the Embassy Suites you could find prominent Republicans with the same white-as-a-ghost look on their faces as the stunned Democrats over in downtown Little Rock. The Tea Party ascendency is a threat to them, too.

That’s the story of Arkansas politics for at least the next two years (and maybe the next few decades): Who will come out on top in intra-party squabbles within the GOP? Democrats have an interesting role to play here. For the most part, yes, they will be the noisy resistance, protesting legislative actions that they’re ultimately powerless to stop. But there will be opportunities to build coalitions on certain issues.

In many areas, the Republicans will be united (don’t expect any moderate GOP voices on guns, gays or abortion anytime soon). But other issues will find them bitterly divided, none more so than the private option, the state’s unique version of Medicaid expansion. That one gets the most attention, but other issues will likely emerge. Just how far should tax cuts go?

What is a responsible approach to state budgeting? How much help should local interests get from state government?

What is the role of federal money in a state budget? How much money should go to higher education? What’s the future of Common Core? What is the role of the legislature with respect to powerful interests in the state, from the University of Arkansas to big business to medical providers?

The lines between these two wings in the GOP are blurry and there will be some overlap depending on the issues.

But, broadly speaking, two camps have emerged. Outside groups like Conduit for Action provide institutional support and campaign funds for the Tea Party wing, while old-guard groups like the Chamber of Commerce back the establishment GOPs. (If you want an idea: Walton money backed not only a primary opponent of Tea Party stalwart Rep. Jim Dotson (R-Bentonville), but

DISMANG: Being challenged for Senate president by Sen. Gary Stubblefield.

The unthinkable option: Will the newly elected legislature kick 200,000 people off their health insurance?

Make no mistake: One clear and immediate result of the election is that the private option — the state’s unique version of Medicaid expansion, which uses funds available via the federal Affordable Care Act to purchase private health insurance for low-income Arkansans — is in real trouble. More than 200,000 Arkansans

even a Democratic opponent in the general election; Dotson still won re-election.)

We’re already seeing a challenge in the Senate, where Tea Partier Gary Stubblefield (R-Branch) will try to unseat Sen. Jonathan Dismang (R-Searcy), one of the architects of the private option, as Senate president pro tem. There were whispers that Conduit was pushing a similar challenge in the House, but it looks like the establishment GOP leaders will remain in place without a fight.

At times, the complaints from the establishment wing are as much about competence or leadership style as ideology. We heard from dozens of prominent Republicans who told us privately that they voted for Nate Steel for attorney general over Leslie Rutledge. Of course they were mum publicly, and Rutledge won, though by a smaller margin than other statewide Republicans on the ballot. Honestly, it might have been even closer in a straw poll at the Embassy Suites GOP party.

(Likewise with newly elected Treasurer Dennis Milligan, who chose a Krispy Kreme donut shop as a meeting place to blackmail his primary opponent, wellliked establishment GOP Rep. Duncan Baird (R-Lowell); the threat, based on a less-than-damning video, enraged many lawmakers within the party.)

The division has become increasingly personal. Hearing Republicans in Arkansas — from either side of the divide — complain about other Republicans in Arkansas sounds a lot like the way they used to talk about Democrats.

This is, of course, the natural result of success. The Republican Party is bigger and has more power than ever before.

That breeds conflict and division.

Democrats will seek to use that conflict to find their own space for deals.

They can, with luck and pluck, win on a few issues or contain the damage at the margins. But the battles between R and D will often barely register. The future of Arkansas will be decided by R vs. R.

PRIVATE OPTION PROBLEM: Michael Lamoureux’s resignation from the Senate further exacerbates the difficulty of reauthorizing the state’s unique brand of Medicaid expansion.

have gained insurance via the policy since 2013, meaning the state’s rate of uninsured persons has been cut in half.

According to various Republican insiders and players in his inner circle, Republican governor-elect Asa Hutchinson, who did a lot of hedging on the issue during the campaign, had planned to continue the policy and would sign it if the private option made it to his desk. The problem is in the legislature, where reauthorization requires threefourths approval from both the Arkansas House and Senate. The private option passed by bipartisan supermajority in both chambers both in 2013 and 2014, but just barely, and only after long and protracted political struggles. Getting over the 75 percent threshold for a contentious policy will always be an incredibly steep climb.

That steep climb just got a lot steeper.

Some even fear it’s impossible. The math is now brutal — the Senate, where the private option passed with no votes to spare in 2014 — is likely now four votes short. A fifth vote is in jeopardy because Sen. Michael Lamoureux (R-Russellville), a strong supporter of the private option, has been tapped to be Hutchinson’s

new chief of staff. The House may be an even harder slog. The private option passed with one vote to spare last year in the House; now Republicans have gained 13 seats, most of whom expressed opposition to the private option during the campaign. Vote counts in the House are unpredictable and fluid, but the private option might well be 10 votes or more in the hole.

One hope for the private option is that Hutchinson will be able to persuade Republican lawmakers to come on board in ways that a Democratic governor could not. But that assumes that Hutchinson is willing, as Mike Beebe was, to aggressively push all of his chips onto the table to get the private option passed. Ever cautious, Hutchinson said last week that he wouldn’t announce his own position until late January. He said he’ll be studying the policy, but he’ll also be keeping an eye on which way the wind is blowing in the legislature. Many in his inner circle believe that he has to have the hundreds of millions in federal money coming in with the private option for budgetary reasons, but Hutchinson is a careful politician who may decide the politics are just too ugly. There’s no

guarantee Hutchinson the Hedger will lead the charge.

Even if he does, there’s no guarantee he can actually convince enough Republicans to come aboard. Remember, many of them campaigned explicitly against the private option. Outside groups, lawmakers and activists opposed to the private option will be threatening any apostates with a primary challenge. Many Republican lawmakers either won’t be moved by pressure from Hutchinson, or will face even greater pressure from their Tea Party base.

Things are looking so bleak that some Capitol observers are declaring the private option dead — but it’s worth noting that the private option (and before that, Medicaid expansion) has been declared dead many, many times before.

As difficult as it is to see how the policy could possibly get the supermajorities needed to continue, it’s equally difficult to see how the legislature would kill the private option.

Just because the aginners have enough votes to block something doesn’t mean they have enough votes to pass something in its place. Even now, they’re still likely in the minority. What they CONTINUED ON PAGE 20 www.arktimes.com

have is a constitutional tool: They can block the entire Department of Human Services budget (including funding for children, the disabled and the elderly in nursing homes) unless they get their way on ending the private option. Clearly there are some diehard opponents more than willing to do so, but others may be uncomfortable with this particular game of chicken.

Meanwhile, it works both ways: If a rump group can block the DHS budget unless the private option is eliminated, a rump group could also block the budget unless the policy is kept. There are only 36 Democrats left in the House, for example, but that’s more than enough to beat the aginners at their own game.

The incentives seem to be lining up to at least get very close to the edge of this cliff.

One way out would be some sort of compromise. Proponents will look for moderate tweaks and new policy reforms (maybe even a new name) to give cover and bring the soft nays aboard.

Of course, the strongest opponents of the private option will be unsatisfied with those tweaks and will say so, loudly. Their version of compromise during the last

legislative session was no comprimise at all: kill the policy, only with a slightly later end date. We’ll probably hear some version of that suggested very soon. If the aginners start talking about the best way to “transition” or “wind down,” rest assured: That means ending the private option. It means low-income people in Arkansas once again have no options for affordable health insurance.

Ending the private option would mean kicking more than 200,000 people off their coverage, rejecting billions in federal dollars, and screwing hospitals that have already saved tens of millions in savings on uncompensated care. That’s to say nothing of the tens of millions that would be immediately lost in the state budget — in Medicaid savings, lower state spending on uncompensated care, revenues from the state tax on private option premiums and revenues from state taxes on the federal dollars flowing into the state.

Campaigning against Obamacare is a clear winner, but taking people’s health insurance away and saying no thanks to billions of dollars is easier said than done politically. It’s a big reason why, for all of the shouting, the private option survived

last year.

The nation will be watching Arkansas.

Home to an innovative and unique version of Medicaid expansion, attention will now center on whether it will become the first state to implement expansion only to abandon it. The state was one of the few in the South to do right by its neediest citizens; now it may be sending out more than 200,000 letters telling those citizens that their coverage is gone.

Paying for the future: Will tax cuts trump the needs of public schools?

This January, as the 2015 legislative session begins in Little Rock, keep one eye on what’s happening in the statehouse in Topeka. That’s when Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback will present a budget to his state’s legislature — a budget that now faces a projected deficit of about $260 million due to aggressive tax cuts championed by Brownback.

The Republican took office in 2010 with promises that vigorous economic growth would proceed naturally from the institution of his austere budget plan.

But the cuts, which have mostly gone

to wealthier households and business owners, have yet to create a significant boost in new jobs when compared to surrounding states.

Instead, Kansas is having trouble paying its bills, which means public services must be cut dramatically in 2015.

K-12 education is in an especially dire place, with the state recently under order from its own Supreme Court to provide more funding to low-income schools.

But despite a huge $330 million revenue shortfall last fiscal year, Brownback and his Republican legislature remain convinced the solution is … more tax cuts. After last Tuesday’s election, the Kansas Speaker of the House said, “We don’t have a revenue problem; we have a spending problem.”

Will Arkansas’s newly empowered Republican majority take us down the same road? It’s too early to tell what the Hutchinson administration is going to be like, but we know that lowering taxes will be a big part of its story. In his first press conference, the governor-elect responded to a question about impending budget decisions by saying, “Obviously, tax cuts are important to me. My highest priority

is the middle class tax cut — reducing the tax rate that I talked about during the campaign.”

Yet Hutchinson has a pragmatic streak as well. To his credit, he admitted before the election that his pledge to cut taxes by $100 million might have to be delayed for a later fiscal year in light of the immediate realities of the Arkansas budget. State revenue has grown more slowly than expected in the past few months — and, more importantly, the needs of the state are legion. The jail and prison system has been pushed to the breaking point due to chronic underfunding and stricter rules for parole; correction officials say addressing the problem will require building a new prison with a price tag of $100 million. State employees, who have long been denied a raise, are getting a small one from outgoing Gov. Mike Beebe; a 1 percent cost of living adjustment will cost $2.7 million this year alone.

The most urgent deficiencies are found in our public schools, which already absorb nearly half of all state revenue. The chronically troubled teacher insurance system simply can’t be fixed without a major new investment of cash, which

would run into the tens of millions of dollars. A legislative committee just recommended the state boost its funding for teacher salaries — shamefully low in many districts — by about $16.5 million.

A one-time reservoir of facilities money used for fixing school buildings in critical disrepair has now run dry, leaving the state on the hook for perhaps $60 million in the coming year. Many rural schools lack sufficient broadband Internet, and even if the legislature rewrites law (as it should) to allow districts to connect to the state-owned fiber optic network, ARE-ON, building connective infrastructure will still cost millions.

Arkansas’s pre-K system has gone without a cost-of-living increase for years and must receive additional funds this year to continue operating at its current volume and quality. Hutchinson has promised he’ll fully fund the existing pre-K program — but it remains to be seen which will take priority, preschoolers or tax cuts.

Meanwhile, elsewhere on the education front, expect the 2015 session to also include talk of two other issues not directly related to spending: Common Core and charter schools. Tea Party conservatives CONTINUED ON PAGE 45

METHODOLOGY FOR BEST LAWYERS® This list is excerpted from the 2015 Edition of The Best Lawyers in America, the pre-eminent referral guide to the legal profession in the United States. Published since 1983, Best Lawyers lists attorneys in

137 specialties, representing all 50 states, who have been chosen through an exhaustive survey in which thousands of the nation’s top lawyers confidentially evaluate their professional peers. The 2015 Edition of Best Lawyers is based on more than 5.5 million evaluations of lawyers by other lawyers.

The method used to compile Best Lawyers remains unchanged since the first edition was compiled more than 30 years ago. Lawyers are chosen for inclusion based solely on the vote of their peers. Listings cannot be bought, and no purchase is required to be included. In this regard, Best Lawyers remains the gold standard of reliability and integrity in lawyer ratings.

The nomination pool for the 2015 Edition consisted of all lawyers whose names appeared in the previous edition of Best Lawyers, lawyers who were nominated since the previous survey, and new nominees solicited from listed attorneys. In general, lawyers were asked to vote only on nominees in their own specialty in their own jurisdiction. Lawyers in closely related specialties were asked to vote across specialties, as were lawyers in smaller jurisdictions. Where specialties are national or international in nature, lawyers were asked to vote nationally as well as locally. Voting lawyers were also given an opportunity to offer more detailed comments on nominees. Each year, half of the voting pool receives fax or email ballots; the other half is polled by phone.

Voting lawyers were provided this general guideline for determining if a nominee should be listed among “the best”: “If you had a close friend or relative who needed a real estate lawyer (for example), and you could not handle the case yourself, to whom would you refer them?” All votes and comments were solicited with a guarantee of confidentiality-a critical factor in the viability and validity of Best Lawyers surveys. To ensure the rigor of the selection process, lawyers were urged to use only their highest standards when voting, and to evaluate each nominee based only on his or her individual merits. The additional comments were used to make more accurate comparisons between voting patterns and weight votes accordingly. Best Lawyers uses various methodological tools to identify and correct for anomalies in both the nomination and voting process.

Ultimately, of course, a lawyer’s inclusion is based on the subjective judgments of his or her fellow attorneys. While it is true that the lists may at times disproportionately reward visibility or popularity, the breadth of the survey, the candor of the respondents, and the sophistication of the polling methodology largely correct for any biases.

For all these reasons, Best Lawyers lists continue to represent the most reliable, accurate and useful guide to the best lawyers in the United States available anywhere. Best Lawyers lists are available at www. bestlawyers.com. “Best Lawyers” and “The Best Lawyers in America” are registered trademarks of Woodward/White Inc.

THE GOP IN CHARGE, CONT. want to dismantle the higher academic standards dictated by Common Core, while establishment Republicans generally like them — another intra-party flash point that may mirror GOP squabbling over the private option. The Hutchinson administration is sure to push to allow more charters in the state.

Still, the biggest question in education is one of funding: Will the state hold firm on its commitment to pay for an adequate and equitable school system? The answer depends on whether Republicans can curb their appetite for slashing taxes. One explanation for Gov. Beebe’s sky-high popularity ratings is that he’s always been much more interested in keeping the budget stabilized than investing energy in either cutting taxes or expanding services.

His stewardship of the budget before and during the recession spared Arkansas the pain of drastic cuts seen in many other states, even while public education continued to make steady, incremental improvements. What Arkansas really needs — a boldly progressive tax policy that funds even better public schools — it won’t be getting from Hutchinson, but then it didn’t get that from Beebe, either.

If Hutchinson really wants to be a pragmatic, fiscally conservative governor, he’s got a model to follow. He’d do well to study his predecessor’s popularity as he sets his own priorities for the next four years.

Team Asa The intrigue has already begun on the new Asa Hutchinson regime. Will term-limited Rep. Duncan Baird wind up at the Department of Finance and Administration? Which former staffer for the Farm Bureau will be tabbed for the Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality? Will Democratic hack Tracy Steele, a quid pro quo pro if there ever was one, get a cushy public job in exchange for his (meaningless) endorsement of Hutchinson? Will term-limited Rep. John Burris end up at the Department of Human Services? (Can you imagine the head of arch-enemy Sen. Bryan King of Green Forest exploding if Burris, one of the key architects of the private option, was showing up to committee meetings to testify on behalf of DHS?) The big one, since we’ve suffered through the mystery meat at the Governor’s Mansion: Will former Capital Hotel Chef Lee Richardson be Asa’s new First Chef?

OK, but everyone knows that the true media bias is that we just care about ourselves. So what we really want to know is who the new governor’s spokesperson will be. Matt DeCample

secret). Ray, who previously worked as a spokesperson for Tim Griffin, would offer the upside of keeping an eye on his old boss lest the lieutenant governor stab Asa in the back with a primary challenge in 2018.

50-1 ANDREW DEMILLO The ultimate straight man. Grabbing the local Associated Press reporter everyone likes and respects would establish a common-sense moderate brand for Hutchinson, the one-time ideologue.

60-1 BRAD HOWARD The sharp spokesman for the Mike Ross campaign is a former College Republican. Maybe Team Asa could convince him to flip back. If Blue Dog politicians in Arkansas are thinking about swapping parties, why not flaks?

was one of outgoing Gov. Beebe’s secret weapons, a smooth politico who could channel Beebe’s brain (if not Beebe’s voice “like molasses” that the New York Times swooned over).

DeCample was plucked from KATV, Channel 7. Where will Hutchinson go searching for the Voice of Asa? Here are the odds; place your bets:

3-2 J.R. DAVIS Hutchinson’s campaign spokesman.

Davis did well so why rock the boat? The former KNWA reporter also served a stint as communications director for Arkansas Congressman Steve Womack.

5-2 SOME D.C. FLAK WE’VE NEVER HEARD OF As fun as this guessing game is, Hutchinson is as likely to pick a familiar party hack from his other home base as he is to cull from local talent.

15-1 JANELLE LILLEY The KATV reporter and anchor loves the private option and she earned her GOP bona fides by chasing Mark Pryor to ask him why he wasn’t participating in a debate.

20-1 DAVID RAY The rough-and-tumble spokesman for the Cotton campaign says he’s staying in Arkansas and he’ll need a new gig. This is a worst-case scenario for the local press (save Jason Tolbert)

as Ray has the political pro’s paranoid mistrust of the press (presumably the governor’s schedule would be kept top

OK, Hutchinson is not realistically going to tap the unhinged Tea Partier and book-banner, but she was the only one in Arkansas politics who kept claiming with a straight face that there was nothing offensive about that racist email Leslie Rutledge forwarded (beside Rutledge herself). Chutzpah helps!

have its own sense of organization, but it’s wild and indiscernible. Everything is in its place, but only Eginton has the map.

Since opening in 1984, the store has been located in a strip mall on MacArthur Drive in North Little Rock. Its neighbors today include the We Are One Ministry, led by the Revs. Wayne and Nancy McHughes, and the Let Go and Let God Deliverance Center, led by Pastor Renae Brown. Reade Mitchell was hired as the store’s first manager earlier this year, Eginton’s only regular co-worker. Reade is his name, but Eginton calls him Woody, a reference to an ’80s radio personality, or Rabbit, which was Pete Townshend’s nickname for The Who’s keyboard player John Bundrick. Eginton is generous with nicknames — the only other customer in the store that Thursday was a regular who Eginton has named Crawfish.

I asked Crawfish why he came so often, and he responded, “To be abused.”

He explained that other record stores exude an aura of exclusivity, like you have to belong to a club to be treated well, but at the Exchange, he said, Eginton treats everyone equally, for better or worse. One of the store’s most distinctive features is the purple velvet rope blocking off the entrance, just past the counter. It was installed 19 years ago as a reminder that jackets are not allowed in the store proper. This rule applies to everyone. Several years ago Glenn CONTINUED ON PAGE 57

ill Eginton is 61 years old, wears blue jeans and gray New Balance sneakers and has a cobalt silver horseshoe moustache, which he slowly rubs while listening to records or considering how to answer a personal question. On a recent Thursday afternoon, I found him at his store, Arkansas Record-CD Exchange, working his way through a stack of 45s he’d bought the day before at an estate sale, most of them by obscure regional garage rock bands with names like Kinetic Energy and Soul Searchers. “My house is different from most people’s houses,” he said distractedly, as he took one record off the turntable and slipped it into a new sleeve he had set aside for it. He rubbed his moustache. “No dirty dishes, no litter, no piles of clothes, no dusting that needs to be done. It’s all neat and organized.”

His store, which celebrates its 30th anniversary this year, is another story.

It resembles both a research library and a very strange child’s bedroom, with racks, crates and shelves of records (over 80,000 LPs alone) running in all directions, filled out with countless, seemingly random pop artifacts: NASCAR jackets, surfboards, signed headshots of Reba McEntire, glass display cases filled with golf balls and political campaign buttons. The Pam Grier film “Foxy Brown” played on a muted television set in the corner of the room, on top of which was perched a (for sale) model of a British Airways jet. The store does

The show, brought to us by the same production team behind the absurd, now-classic “Clash of the Ozarks,” will be titled “Wrestling with Death,” and will focus on the Latham family of Osceola, who are described by WGN as “morticians by day who run the Wilson Funeral Home and professional wrestlers by night who run the Mid-Southern Championship Wrestling League.” If you can put aside your (legitimate) concerns about media representations of the Natural State, it’s hard to argue with the fact that this show sounds genuinely excellent.

THE OLYMPIA, WASH., RECORD label 20 Buck Spin has announced the vinyl-only release of Pallbearer’s “Demos,” previously only available on limited edition CD-R and cassette, on Dec. 9. The demos date back to 2010, before the Little Rock doom metal group’s now-classic debut, “Sorrow and Extinction.” The record will come in purple and black vinyl, and will feature a B-side etching by Mike Lawrence and original artwork by frequent design collaborator Animetalphysical. Pre-orders will be accepted in coming weeks; stay tuned.

THE TO-DO

LIST

BY WILL STEPHENSON

THURSDAY 11/13

‘THE HUNTING OF THE PRESIDENT’

7 p.m. Ron Robinson Theater.

Free.

Longtime Arkansas Times contributor (and National Magazine Award-winning cattle farmer) Gene Lyons co-authored with journalist Joe Conason “The Hunting of the President: The Ten Year Campaign to Destroy Bill and Hillary Clinton,” a book that set out to chart the various legal, political and journalistic efforts to take down the Clintons in the ’90s by whatever means necessary. The book, published in 2000, was made into an awardwinning documentary narrated by Morgan Freeman, a film the Clinton Presidential Center presents Thursday as part of its 10th year anniversary festivities. “Many of us have done stupid things in our lives,” as James Carville puts it in the film. “None of us have had $80 million spent to try to see what all those stupid things were.” Very few of us are the president of the United States, either, but Carville’s point more or less stands. From a pure genre standpoint, the film appeals to fans of conspiracy and political thrillers (complete with tearful confessions and dramatic orchestra stabs to punctuate startling revelations) and, if nothing else, it’s a fascinating historical document. The screening will be followed by a Q&A with producer (and “Designing Women” creator) Harry Thomason.

MURDER IN ARIZONA: “Who Is Dayani Cristal?” screens at the Ron Robinson Theater 7 p.m. Friday, free.

FRIDAY 11/14

‘WHO IS DAYANI CRISTAL?’

7 p.m. Ron Robinson Theater. Free.

As the second entry in the new Arkansas Times Film Series, we’ll be screening “Who Is Dayani Cristal?” in partnership with El Zócalo, the Central Arkansas Immigrant Resource Center. The film is a kind of documentary hybrid, described by NPR as a “forensic procedural,” a “road

SATURDAY 11/15

‘CELEBRATE 10’ CONCERT 8 p.m. Clinton Center. Free.

The centerpiece of the Clinton Presidential Center’s 10th anniversary celebration is the “Celebrate 10” concert at a pavilion on the grounds of the Clinton Presidential Park. Funk legends Kool and the Gang perform alongside Billboard-charting singer-songwriter Amos Lee, country-folk duo Court Yard Hounds and former Disney star (presumably a Clinton favorite) 48

movie” and a “man-who-wasn’t-there mystery” all in one. It stars Gael Garcia Bernal (who also produced and narrates the film), following him on the immigration trail from Central America to the Arizona border, in pursuit of the title’s enigma. The New York Times called it a “compellingly multifaceted approach,” and said it “could be enlisted in the perennial

battle over immigration law,” which is exactly how we see it. Times associate editor Benji Hardy will lead a panel discussion after the screening with El Zócalo’s Sara Mullally and two members of Little Rock’s immigrant community. A food truck will be outside selling tacos, tamales and enchiladas.

The film series is co-sponsored by the Little Rock Film Festival.

SATURDAY 11/15 Nick Jonas. Given his newfound role as the national emblem of soulless political corruption (due his starring role in “House of Cards”), you’d think Kevin Spacey would be the last celebrity a politician would want to be associated with these days, but Spacey is hosting nevertheless. With that non sequitur of a lineup (with Bill and Hillary on hand to laugh graciously at Spacey’s inevitable award-show-host jokes), the event will kick off at 8 p.m.

ADAM HAMBRICK 9 p.m. Stickyz. $10.

Conway native Adam Hambrick moved to Nashville last year to write songs for Sony, working as a country music gun-for-hire for bigtime artists like Miranda Lambert and fellow Arkansas natives Justin Moore and Kris Allen. Now he’s branching out on his own with a new EP called “Wheels or Wings” (which you can find on Soundcloud). It’s full of elaborately pro-

duced pop-country anthems, all of them outfitted with handclaps, drum machines, hyper-sentimental choruses and string sections. It’s the kind of thing that’ll be easily dismissed by listeners who say they only listen to “real country,” but it is indisputably real country (for better or worse) and sounds expensive. The guy may well be the next country star from Arkansas, for all I know, so you may as well catch him now, on his way up.

LIFERS: Dope Body is at JR’s Lightbulb Club in Fayetteville with Roomrunner and LLinda, 9 p.m. Saturday.

SATURDAY 11/15

DOPE BODY

9 p.m. JR’s Lightbulb Club, Fayetteville.

Drag City four-piece Dope Body hails from Baltimore and makes a kind of jittery, savage post-punk with neurotic overtones, fast and physical and steeped in the ’90s art-rock mold. They sound a little like Fugazi or The Jesus Lizard and name their songs things like “AOL” and “Repo Man.” They also have a reputation for especially energetic live shows. Drummer David Jacober is aggressively technical, and the band’s

newest album, “Lifer,” is a brutal, punishing experience. “On this record we were trying to be a classic rock band, to an almost comical degree,” guitarist Zachary Utz told Vice in a recent interview. “I feel like we made a fucking concept album with this one. ...

It’s like some kind of half-assed epic novel about suburban abandon and Caucasian alienation amongst a sea of shaven sheep. We may have crossed the prog boundary on this one. But no regrets, right?”

TJ Deeter started booking shows at White Water Tavern in the early aughts, taking the bar’s slowest night of the week (Tuesday) and turning it into the Arkansas Rockers Revue, aided by $3.50 PBR pitchers. “At the time, there were all these groups of people who didn’t mix,” Deeter told the Times in 2010, “the punk rock kids, the hip-hop people that did Under the Ground, the established groups like your Ho-Hums, the North Little Rock sludge metal folks, and the Conway and Fayetteville crowds. I knew everyone, so I decided to invite everyone I knew from these different crowds because I wanted to kill cliques. I would try to put together the most random acts — say a folk singer with a rap group and a metal band.”

Initially skeptical, then White Water owner Larry “Goose” Garrison had to admit it worked.

“After 30 days, it was fucking packed,” he said. “And it just got better and better.” Tuesday night, Deeter is bringing back the Revue with Pockets, Don’t Cry Paula, The Casual Pleasures and 607 (fresh off the release of his 40th album, “GrowTivation”) in support of his film, “Third in the House of Dydimus,” which he’s currently attempting to finance via Indiegogo.

since 1997. According to Vance, he built his own group because “he was extremely unlikeable, and wanted to play in a band after all his past human bands hated him.” In addition to the robots, who play drums and bass, there are also cymbal and tambourine-playing apes and a

three-piece horn section called the Headless Hornsmen. The effect is like a punk rock “Mystery Science Theater 3000,” and Hot Springs community arts organization Low Key Arts will host the group on their latest tour. Peckerwolf and Ghost Bones will open.

ARKANSAS TIMES

ew working directors are better than Christopher Nolan at marrying the popcorn pic with a mind-warping big concept. “Memento” mashed a crime noir into a memory puzzle that put time on a yo-yo. “Inception” folded the heist movie into a stack of dreamscapes, embedding Leonardo DiCaprio in a piece of conceptual pop art. Three Batman movies rush past to pad the accounts, and here we return with “Interstellar,” Nolan’s adaptation of his and his brother Jonathan’s script.

The sweep of the story could scarcely be more epic: Blight and drought will be the end of the human species, and right soon, so we gotta ditch to a different planet or starve and suffocate.

This is no small undertaking, as you can imagine, and in the storytelling the Nolans bring the ruckus. Wormholes, black holes, relativity, quantum mechanics — the whole canon of “Star Trek”-worthy science gets packed into just less than three hours of deep-space travel, during which time becomes putty and some mysterious five-dimensional beings play a hidden, pivotal role. This would be a fine week to bone up on your Stephen Hawking or just go spelunking through Wikipedia before wandering into the multiplex.

Uniquely for this space adventure, you may pick up Ken Burns’ 2012 documentary about the Dust Bowl. Do that anyway, in fact — it’s a masterwork.

Christopher Nolan was so taken by it that he folded the mini-series’ interview footage into “Interstellar,” planting the film in an ecological disaster of proportions that strained even the word “Biblical.” Researchers have determined lately that it was a thousandyear drought that struck the American Plains during the Great Depression.

The elements of doomed farm life in the near-future of “Interstellar” all ring with the same elements: silt forever invading homes, children developing chronic lung disease, dust clouds like

mountains blacking out the horizon. It looks a lot like a climate change preview.

Frankly, it’s damn scary.

Hope comes when a NASA-pilotturned-farmer, a father named Cooper (Matthew McConaughey, wild-eyed and stern), finds his way to a secret NASA facility, courtesy of some oddly communicative gravity anomalies in his daughter’s room. A father-daughter team of brilliant astrophysicists (Michael Caine and Anne Hathaway) explain to him the underground agency’s new missions have involved probing new worlds on the notion that humanity can either be transplanted or, worst case, restarted with a colony of fertilized eggs. They enlist him to fly a team through a wormhole near Saturn to follow transmissions from worlds on the other side, where pioneer astronauts years earlier fanned out, seeking a livable replacement Earth.

It’s a dialogue-intense script, lots of big words and big decisions; it’s easy to lose the themes for the particulars. (Hans Zimmer’s score, an instant-classic fusion of electronic minimalism and orchestral sweep, does yeoman’s work to hold the heart of the film.) Nolan asks too much of his actors in too small a space, in fact; Jessica Chastain, harried as Cooper’s adult daughter, embodies the sense that we’ve seen these performers accomplish more in other films.

In scale and scope, though, “Interstellar” aims as big as movies can, loading up lives and worlds and ideas, and along the way creating something indelibly beautiful and disturbing. It pits hope against humans’ puny timelines, against our ability to endure isolation and personal hardship, against our insistence to choose our own families against the welfare of countless strangers. The path it sets out to save the world of course flaunts implausibility.

The path it describes for how we end it, alas, seems far more convincing.

Danzig, the surly former front man of The Misfits, threw a fit when Eginton wouldn’t allow him to wear his leather jacket inside. He left in a huff, and later wrote of the incident online, “I should have punched that motherfucker in the mouth.” When Mitchell told me that story, Eginton just shrugged. “Even my mother hangs her jacket up when she comes in,” he said. “It’s all or nothing.”

Mitchell remembers the day proudly. “I saw a tear in his eye,” he said. “I think Bill made Glenn Danzig cry.”

RABBIT, RUNNING THE REGISTER: Reade Mitchel is the store’s first full-time manager.

The first record Bill Eginton ever purchased was Eddie Hodges’ “Girls Girls Girls (Made to Love),” in 1961. He rode his bike to the store. At the time, he also collected comic books, which he kept shelved in numerical and alphabetical order, and electric trains. (He still collects electric trains, although he no longer has room in his house to set up the tracks.) His father was always frustrated with his collecting, particularly when he got into records. “I’d come home one day with a bag,” Eginton remembers, “and he’d say, ‘You’d better not have any more records in that bag.’ ” For him, a store of his own was always the goal. He opened his first record shop in the early ’70s in Minnesota, where he grew up, but it only lasted a couple of years. “My priorities weren’t straight then,” he said cryptically. “I prayed if I ever got another store again, my priorities would be right.” His prayers were answered in 1984, when his friend Hugh Harris helped him build the Exchange. For a while, he kept his full-time night job as a bar manager at Mexico Chiquito and worked at the store during the day. His daughter, who

the counter. There was a photo of the wreckage and it looked grotesque, vinyl melted into muddy, black pools. He lost over 30,000 albums. He reopened the store, temporarily relocated, a short while later, with only 150 records and a telephone. “It was that or go back to bartending and whine the whole rest of my life about how my store burned down and ‘Don’t you feel bad for me?’ ” he said.

“I mean you just got to pick up the pieces.”

It’s this attitude that has allowed the store to outlast the bulk of its competitors, not only independent ventures but major big-box outlets like Circuit City and CD Warehouse, which it was once taken for granted would put stores like the Exchange out of business. For him, the store is a job, a hobby and, more importantly, the major project of his life. “Nearly everything urgent and alive becomes doo-wop down the road,” as Charles D’Ambrosio once wrote, but Eginton is a man with a healthy appreciation for doo-wop. “I don’t know what else I could do,” he said. “I come here every day because it’s where I need to be. I can’t just sit at home and watch ‘Gunsmoke.’ ” www.arktimes.com

WHAT’S COOKIN’ Margie Raimondo of the Raimondo Family Wineries will open a tasting bar and retail shop at the corner of Third Street and River Market Avenue, on the ground floor of the Residence Inn, in February, sharing her wines and imported treats from her grandparents’ native Sicily. Raimondo ships her wine from California to Arkansas, where it’s aged and bottled. Raimondo is moving her manufacturing — previously in Lake Norfork — to a warehouse in North Little Rock, following up on four and a half months in Italy, where she lived on and visited farms and vineyards, sampled oils and vinegars and tested small producers’ fig molasses, artisan oils, hot peppers, sun-dried tomatoes, tarrali crackers and more.

She’ll import some of those products and make some other gourmet items; “I’m going to take local products and do things I never did before,” she said. Raimondo will collaborate with local gourmet chocolatiers and makers of cured meats so tasters can pair her wines and oils and vinegars with different foods. The Raimondo winery specializes in Italian wines, not surprisingly: Old Vine Zinfandel, a Bella Rosso red blend, a Passione red, among others.

Raimondo plans to use Arkansas grapes to make a port at her winery.

LOCAL FAVE: The Bleu Moon Burger stands out at Hugo’s.

Authentic Hugo’s does burgers right

R

estaurants in college towns may seem to bloom and fade like daffodils in the spring, but there are those old-line joints that make it work long term. They’re doing something right, be it the vibe, the food or the cheapness of the beer.

They survive by reminding you that you’re drinking a beer, shoveling in a pizza, or wolfing a burger where college kids have been doing that decade upon decade. Never discount the tradition factor. It’s a powerful thing, and has kept many a college town joint going long past its due date.

One old-line college town restaurant that’s still got a few tricks up its sleeve is Hugo’s in Fayetteville.

Dishing up drinks and pub fare on the Fayetteville town square since 1977 and housed in a cellar location straight out of a Beat poem, it’s the kind of place that’ll make even an oldster feel like the clock has been wound back to the glory days the minute you walk in the door.

The decor is the patina that hipster joints strive for, but rarely achieve: eclectic, dark, a little yellowed, with low ceilings, checkered tablecloths and old pictures predominating. A neon sign that says “TYPEWRITERS” lords over one wall, casting a red glow over the proceedings. Sit down in one of the creaking wooden chairs, and you half expect Belushi from “Animal House” to come in and demand a beer. The difference between Hugo’s and pretty much any other place in town is like the difference between Granddad’s motorcycle jacket and one you just picked up at the mall. It’s the vibe of years, gathered as slowly as moss on a rock, and you can’t buy it with a flea market’s worth of quirky knickknacks.

From the decent slate of appetizers, we tried the macho nachos ($8.95) and got about what we’d expected: a large, loaded plate of chips, cheddar, jalapenos, salsa, guac and other standard toppings.

Nothing that’s going to set the world on fire, sure, but plenty good if what you

want is a sponge to soak up the night’s round of beer pong.

For the main event, this reviewer tried a medium-well Bleu Moon Burger ($8.25 — and a local fave, we’d heard) while our companion tried the crepes cannelloni ($6.50).

We’re sticklers about burger preparation, and the one we had at Hugo’s was very fine: third of a pound of good ground beef, perfectly cooked and seasoned, covered in a generous amount of bleu cheese and red onion, on a griddled bun. It wasn’t the dripping, three-napkin mess that some big burgers can get up to, but it didn’t skimp on the flavor. Long story short, it’s one of the better burgers we’ve had in Fayetteville, and with bonus points for the vibe, it should be on any Arkansas burgerlover’s bucket list.

Our companion was not as happy with his crepes cannelloni. The dish was tasty but the portion a bit on the small size, and the cream sauce in need of some thickening. Thin sauce aside, however, he said that if a diner was looking for a lighter meal, it could definitely hit the spot.

Every town has a handful of must-hit foodie spots, and Hugo’s is probably a good candidate for that list in Fayetteville. While not everything we tried was memorable, the lovely rathskeller vibe of the joint and the weight of long years is enough to make up for the misses. Stick to what you remember eating in college — for us, burgers and beer, in mass quantities — and remember to lift several steins to dear old U., and you’ll likely come away pleased.
