ARKANSAS TIMES
A close reader, Richard W. Chapman was bothered by an item that appeared in Arkansas’s foremost weekly journal of news, politics and entertainment: “Gus’s World Famous Fried Chicken is coming to the River Market in the former space occupied by Redbone’s Downtown.” “Perhaps that should be ‘is coming to the space in the River Market formerly occupied by Redbone’s Downtown,’ ” Chapman writes. “I’m not sure this was an error, but it just didn’t seem right to me. The space is still there, so it isn’t ‘former space.’ I think.” The syntax would be OK if you read “the former space occupied by Redbone’s Downtown” as an entity.” It’s true the space is still there, but the space occupied by Redbone’s isn’t. But I agree with Chapman that “the space in the River Market formerly occupied by Redbone’s Downtown” is better. We’ve talked before about the fad of turning verbs into nouns when there’s already a perfectly good noun available. I’ve now seen reveal used as a noun so often that I’m starting to wonder if the last book in the Bible will be renamed The Book of Reveal. And they just keep coming. “In a logical, ‘more Spock-like world,’ said Glenn Thrush in Politico.com, the news that the
economy shrank in the final quarter of 2012 would prove to Republicans that America can’t afford the looming, DOUG automatic spendSMITH dougsmith@arktimes.com ing cuts known as the ‘sequester.’ ... But having lost the fiscal-cliff and debtceiling showdowns to President Obama, Republicans are now saying the sequester is preferable to no cuts at all.” In my unabridged, sequester is a verb only (“to remove or withdraw; separate”). The noun is sequestration. To say “the sequester” makes about as much sense as saying “the withdraw,” or “Tim Bucktew and his missus are having a trial separate.” Maybe those of us who dislike this affectation should retaliate by turning nouns into verbs. “I wish President Obama would drone the guy responsible for all this verbal abuse.” “Yeah, drone him before the sequester hits.” “If you don’t bring that energy every night or come out and not focus for a half, you put yourself and a hole and lose games.” You put yourself and a hole where? The former space occupied by Redbone’s Downtown?
WEEK THAT WAS
It was a good week for ... THE WAR ON WOMEN. Two unconstitutional bills that would curtail women’s rights continue to steamroll towards passage in both chambers. Sen. Jason Rapert’s bill to ban most abortions beginning in the 12th week of pregnancy and Rep. Andy Mayberry’s measure to ban abortion at 20 weeks should head to Gov. Mike Beebe some time this week. Beebe has questioned the constitutionality of both, but hasn’t said whether he’ll veto them. SUPPRESSING THE VOTE. A bill by Sen. Bryan King (R-Green Forest) to require voters to present identification at the polls advanced through a Senate committee, despite sharp questioning from Sen. David Johnson (D-Little Rock), who noted the true aim of the bill: suppressing minority and elderly voters.

The Remove of Redbone’s
AN ETHICS COMPROMISE. Rep. Warwick Sabin and Sen. Jon Woods cosponsored a proposed constitutional amendment to ban gifts to legislators, prohibit corporations from making political contributions and establish a two-year period between when a lawmaker leaves office and when he’s permitted to become a lobbyist — all measures proposed by the ethics reform group Regnat Populus. Sabin and Woods said they planned to add provisions to the measures to extend term limits and create a commission that would decide
when Arkansas’s lawmakers and constitutional officers should receive raises. LEONARD COOPER. The eStem senior won $75,000 on Teen Jeopardy. The turning point for Cooper came after trailing on the second day of the game show, when he picked a Daily Double and wagered nearly all of his money. His clue was “In Reginald Rose’s play ‘Twelve Angry Men,’ the men are all members of one of these.” Would you have known the answer?
It was a bad week for ... A RESOLUTION ON THE TECH PARK. The board continues to show little enthusiasm for the three nonresidential sites proposed for the Little Rock Technology Park, as evidenced by its meeting last week, where chair Dr. Mary Good complained that she wished the engineer’s report would have eliminated one or two of the sites. It did not. PHOTO THIEVES. Two former employees of the North Little Rock-based Rogers Photo Archives pleaded guilty to federal charges of conspiracy to commit wire fraud. According to a release from the office of U.S. Attorney Christopher Thyer, the two men diverted funds from customers of the Rogers Archive to their personal PayPal accounts. Police recovered more than 100,000 stolen photographs at the North Little Rock home of one of the men.
