Props to Blog Hawgs reader AU Jed, who called this one–OK a lot of people called Kodi to WR–but not Todd as the probable starter. I also have to give it up for Kodi–it looks like he handled it like a man.

I am as stunned as anyone. Entergy announced yesterday that they will be CUTTING RATES for Arkansas subscribers. I wonder if that means they’ll knock off some of last month’s bill, too?
