The morning mail is full of tips on interesting Arkansas info. Among them:
* A progressive blog has set up a page to encourage campaign contributions to U.S. Reps. Marion Berry and Vic Snyder for their critical votes in favor of House health legislation.
* A local blogger has written — unhappily — that Pulaski Academy won’t send its band to a football playoff game in Helena-West Helena.
* David Koon’s story about the brave young West Fork student who’s declined to join in the daily Pledge of Allegiance exercise at his school, despite coercion from teacher and other students, has gone viral, judging by email from England and an outpouring of comments, pro and con, on the story.
* Sen. Gilbert Baker is a liberal? Caution: consider the source. And I don’t mean Pat Lynch, whose blog passes along the nuttiness.
* ALSO: A UAMS household is heard from regarding yesterday’s announced pay cuts, particularly the matter of how some were affected and some, notably doctors, were not.
