Let’s hurry up and fix Lambert International Airport

It’s been months since the Bridgeton Tornado and the main terminal still looks awful.

“Then I’m Sure You Would Like to Move to Kabul”

Stephen — Mon, 27 Jun 2011 13:49:09 +0000

In April, I wrote about Dee Wampler, the zealot who wanted to go around to every city hall in the state of Missouri and bully them into displaying “IN GOD WE TRUST” somewhere in the building (no doubt in a predominant place, where everyone could look upon the sign and be saved).

I guess my longtail SEO efforts are working: late last night, I received a comment from “Jhfd” on my “In God We Trust” signs popping up all over Missouri post:

Then I’m sure you would like to move to Kabul.

Yes, Kabul. A big scary haven of non-believers who enjoy sex with animals and other lecherous activities! A place where dirty atheists roll around in their own filth while reading the book of Satan, masturbating feverishly!

Oh, wait. This commenter was just speaking in code.

Here’s an idea, “Jhfd” – why not be more tolerant of all religions and beliefs/lack of beliefs. This is a fairly obvious case of religious messages being displayed in taxpayer-funded buildings. But I wouldn’t expect you or Dee Wampler, author of “The Trial of Christ: a 21st Century Lawyer Defends Jesus” and “One Nation Under God: A Trial Lawyer Exposes the Myth of the Separation Between Church & State” to understand.

Thank you, Google

I’m glad to see that Google is assisting the victims of the Joplin Tornadoes with map overlays. And, while I’m writing about wild Missouri weather and large corporate responses, I was pretty impressed to get a postcard from Mazda American Credit asking if I needed to delay payments on my 2007 Mazda 3 loan due to hardship from the summer storms.

Missouri House votes to ban Sharia law

I hate Missouri. I want to go on a balls-punching spree in Jefferson City.

Where are the jobs?

Missouri, you so crazy.

Missouri votes to add “Don’t Tread On Me” license plates

Stephen — Tue, 19 Apr 2011 22:28:00 +0000

I thought we already had special needs license plates.

I always thought Big Government needed to merchandise better. This should raise some decent coin from the teatards.

Mad plays the bass like the race card, Villain on the case to break shards and leave her face scarred

Maria Chappelle-Nadal is quite possibly the dumbest person in the state legislature. And she’s a Democrat.

If there were a contest for the dumbest thing said by a Missouri state lawmaker this year, Sen. Maria Chappelle-Nadal, D-University City, would be among the frontrunners.

In a radio interview this week on WGNU-920 AM, Ms. Chappelle-Nadal referred to retired St. Louis investor and political activist Rex Sinquefield as a “billionaire plantation owner.” Mr. Sinquefield is white. Ms. Chappelle-Nadal is black.

It’s a race to the bottom that Missouri doesn’t want to lose

I’m embarrassed to pay these assholes salaries with my tax dollars.

“It does close an important loophole,” added Mitch Hubbard of Fulton, who was the Republican nominee for Missouri secretary of state in 2008. “Our military needs to know that their commander in chief is qualified. We have officers in the military who question whether their commander in chief is eligible” to be president.

Awesome quote.

I can’t believe Roy Blunt is my Senator

There was a time when I really, really thought that Robin Carnahan had the election in the bag. But then as time marched on, I realized that Missouri is too backwards to have two female Democrats in the Senate – moderate as they may be.
