Welcome to Mid-Riffs.com, a new weblog committed to providing non-partisan commentary about Arkansas public policy, as well as analysis of public policy in surrounding states and at the national level.  Beginning next week, this blog will be a place where a variety of contributors will offer everything from serious news and public policy critiques to not-so-serious commentary about life in the region. We also have a lot of interest and experience dealing with education policy. That said, no topic is off limits.

While those of us that contribute here won’t always agree, we are bound by a shared appreciation for good arguments, logical consistency, geeky sarcasm, and all things good.

We are against things that are bad (e.g., Texas).

Thanks for visiting, and we hope you’ll come back and visit us next week.
