Here at Razorback Expats, we are spirited defenders of The Natural State (although we have mellowed out from our college years, when we were just flat-out defensive). As any Arkansan knows, that can be a tough job. Nevertheless, we bravely soldier on.
This bit of news, however, gives us more than a little pause: Wally Hall was named "Best Newspaper Writer" in the Arkansas Times' annual Best of Arkansas awards. (The awardees are determined by the votes of the paper's readers.)
Even we don't know how to spin that.

I bet that Wally collected all the discarded newspapers so that he could cast votes for himself. He’s so miserable.
DUMP WALLY!!

I think he got it just by name recognition. He’s on the sports page just about every day in the state’s largest circulating paper. When people came to that question, they probably couldn’t think of another writer’s name, so they put Wally Hall down. I can’t believe he was selected because of merit.

Kev,
That sounds like a pretty good explanation. Still, pretty crazy.

According to polls, McCain is leading in Arkansas. Go figure.
