The Unauthorized News for Northwest Arkansas

My name is Roger. Welcome to my blog.

My parents named me after the town in Northwest Arkansas where I was born and raised called Rogers, Arkansas.

While I blame my parents for just about everything, especially the indignity of naming me after a dinky town in Arkansas and leaving me too broke to get the @#$% out of here so I can ski every day and hang with my favorite band, I feel lucky I wasn't named after my grandma's favorite brand of toilet-bowl cleaner.

We write about everything we see, smell, hear, and touch that makes us mad, sad, and happy about living in the small towns of Northwest Arkansas made "famous" for hogs, chickens, trucks, but mostly for being headquarters for the world's largest Chinese flea market.

We live and write about Northwest Arkansas so you don't have to.

Plus, unlike that fancy newspaper from big-city Little Rock, our news is free. Then again, you get what you pay for... Just ask our hometown hero, Walmart.

Here's our number one rule: Sometimes the truth hurts, but my mama told me lies hurt more. Here are a few others:

- You want nice news about the church picnic? Forget-about-it!

- Are you hoping big bad, you-know-who will sue us for telling our mind? Stand-in-line because no one can get blood from a rock.

- Will we get elected homecoming queen? Been-there-done-that.

After all, who really cares what "they" think. We only care about what you think.

While local business boosters will read our blog and weep, I want you to post a comment. Write a story. Complain that we're not sugar-coating the truth.

All we ask is that you tell the truth, keep it honest, and tell-a-friend... And, most important, just keep reading.

-Roger

P.S., If you want to write me, spam me, send me a story to publish, or just flip me off, write us at rogersarkansas@yahoo.com.

If we don't respond, it's because your email ended up in our spam folder, alongside that offer from the Nigerian princess to hold onto grandpa's cache of gold until her overnight shift at Walmart is over.

Welcome to Roger's Arkansas

Northwest Arkansas is famous for chickens, hogs, trucking, and being the American headquarters for the world's largest Chinese flea market.

We're terrified of our killer tornadoes in the spring and fall, dread our hot sticky summers, hate the chiggers and ticks, duck falling trees during ice storms in the winter, loathe our status as one of the top regions in the country for illegal drug trafficking, ignore the fact 25% of our kids live in poverty, and relish in our fervent commitment to keeping costs down at someone else's expense.

Roger, our lead journalist, and guest editors from across Arkansas, dare spill the beans on the stories too honest for them other rags around town. We write what others are too scared-chicken to say, or too worried about getting run over by a truck just for honest thinking, or just paranoid of getting priced out-of-town by you-know-who.
