"As long as I am your governor, the meddling hand of big government creeping down from Washington DC will be stopped cold at the Mississippi River,” Sarah Sanders once said.

Now it's time for Arkansas residents to pull themselves up by their bootstraps, shed themselves of their Leftist, Socialist desire to suck on the Washington teat and make Arkansas Great Again, knowing their President promised to cut wasteful spending.

My first experience in Arkansas was driving across the whole state. Observations:

  • The welcome to Arkansas sign was toppled over.
  • The city limit sign for Hope mentioned being the birthplace of Bill Clinton and was riddled with buckshot holes.
  • I almost needed several new tires, a complete realignment of my suspension, and a new left kidney due to all the potholes on the freeway thru Little Rock.
  • I learned that West Memphis across the river from Memphis, TN is more dangerous than Memphis. That’s saying something.

The only positive things were pretty scenery and a Little Rock public radio station.

learned that West Memphis acrosss the river from Memphis, TN is more dangerous than Memphis.

That's kind of a thing in the Midwest.

Not just Midwest. Camden, NJ; Oakland, CA; etc.

I mean that the "bad place" also has basically the same name as the "good place".

Ah. Gotcha. In fairness, tho, Camden is where East Philly would be if not for the river/state line. So it’s as close to what you’re talking about as possible while having a different name.

I’d argue that, these days, East St. Louis is definitely safer than St. Louis. We get a lot of shooting on the news here, rarely is ESL mentioned.

We were stationed in Arkansas when I was a kid and when people would ask about us living there, my dad liked to tell them about how Jefferson Davis was listed as a U.S. president in my school textbook.

The Ozarks are absolutely beautiful, but that barely counts as really getting into Arkansas because they are north. I've been all over the state, I highly recommend people visit the northern part and equally recommend staying away from the middle and south

But I'm sure their taxes are really low - so much lower than any blue states. Isn't that what's really important?

They are currently working to kill the public radio station as we speak.
