Lynch at Large

Pat Lynch: an Arkansas Icon (and very humble too)

Monday summary 3/10/08

My column is in today’s Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. It’s on the Voices page in the Arkansas section. I think it’s pretty darned good, but you decide for yourself. The actual topic is “why nothing ever gets done.”

If you want an idea of what’s going on, go to my morning capsules on K-106.3, The Greatest Hits of All Time, and Spirit 93.3, which is also broadcast on KAWW 100.7 in Heber Springs/Clinton.  It’s 60 seconds of sheer wisdom twice an hour.

The radio show is on at 9.

KSMD 99.1 FM – Searcy/Batesville
KWCK 1300 AM – Searcy
KAPZ 710 AM – Bald Knob/Augusta
KAWW 1370 AM – Heber Springs/Clinton

The Oklahoma State House has passed a law would require a blood or saliva sample for DNA testing to be taken when a person is arrested on a felony complaint and booked in a jail.
