LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) -- City officials want to eradicate 27 homeless camps, getting their occupants into shelters or out of town as Little Rock prepares for the high-profile opening of the Clinton Presidential Library.
Officials deny that the strategy has anything to do with the Nov. 18 opening, but homeless advocates fear that the city is being merciless -- perhaps at the behest of the library.
The homeless were living at the library site before construction began.
An annual satirical stage show put on by the Pulaski County Bar Association this week depicts Clinton library officials driving away helpless residents of the camps.

Tell 'em to "put some ice on it."
I thought Clinton eradicated homelessness. I certainly didn't hear anything about it on the news from 1993 to 2001.
Maybe the homeless can move to Billy Blob Slicks home in NY, with Hitlary. They'd all have fun.
These must be "Bush's" homeless people and certainly not a reflection on the Clinton Legacy at his lie-brary.
If this is hyped up like everything else (weeks in advance) Bubba could once again steal John Kerry's thunder...
"The homeless were living at the library site before construction began."
I guess these homeless people are regretting the day they were picked up by those demonrats in that van and taken to the polls to vote for Slick Willy ! I guess the pack of smokes they got for their vote is coming back to bite them in the backside now.
Clinton only redefined "homelessness" by creating two alternative groups... 1) Homeless Democrats 2) Homeless Republicans In a followup, he set out to destroy the Homeless Republicans by giving them a home in our prisons. He funneled more money to the Homeless Democrats by classifying them as "Structurally Challenged". (And that's a joke.)

Yes, I know. Its Bushes' fault...
Don't the Dims contest that a {D} Governor and a President result in no "Homeless" world...? Are not the hand outs working?
If they'd been spotted owls or jumping meadow mice, this never woulda happened.
"Liberal compassion".
Oh,well, goodness, that goes without saying!
