Arkansas Must Look a Lot Bigger on Paper

The "Natural State" has gotten plenty of publicity about a pork barrel plan in the Highway Bill -- $3 million for "dust mitigation" on rural roads.

Thing is, the project is not for Arkansas (right) -- it's for Alaska. Honest mistake -- made by Sen John McCain (R-AZ), tons of newspapers, and even this website. I stand corrected.

Lots of people confuse those two letter abbreviations. So let's go over them: AK = Alaska; AR = Arkansas, and AZ = Arizona. (Arkansas News Bureau)
