For all you Arkansas Project history buffs out there, a rare photo from the archives: Arkansas Project founder and publisher David “Dapper Dave” Kinkade proffering his traditional pardon of the Thanksgiving turkey at the original Arkansas Project World Headquarters, November 24, 1949.
Witnesses to the event included popular Arkansas Project regular Democratic Rally Wiener Dog (front, center) and a dour looking bald guy (far right) who Kinkade always forced to hold the turkey, just to remind Mr. Harvard Law School Graduate who was boss.
Later that day, in a drunken fit of magnanimity, Kinkade also pardoned some yams with marshmallow topping and a plate of corn muffins. Sadly, there were limits to his sense of mercy, and he declined to pardon his younger brother John, who knows damn well what he did, and two pecan pies.
