Doug Duckworth vs Paul McKee

 Posted on September 24, 2009  |  The Editor

Paul McKee is a big developer that wants to buy up and transform North St. Louis with a little help from public funds, Doug Duckworth is the 24 year old voice behind the blog “Random Talk on Urban Affairs,” but together they are the North St. Louis Odd Couple! One wants to get millions of dollars of public funds to help his project, the other…well, he doesn’t. One likes video taping public meetings, the other quits when he notices the video camera.

Banned T-Shirt Means Big Business For Shop

 Posted on September 9, 2009  |  The Editor

You may have recently heard that Sedalia’s School District is run by spineless morons, well stories that stupid tend to grow legs on the internet and according to The Riverfront Times, the little T-Shirt Shop that created the shirt is now overrun with orders for the banned nerd-art. Last week one of the owners of the shop told the RFT’s sister paper in Kansas City that the T-shirts have sold like hot cakes thanks to the online popularity of the ban. [Read More]

 Posted on September 8, 2009  |  The Editor

According to our tipster and the link they sent us to the DailyKos.com, thats what St. Louis’ favorite perma-fired up, republican, Dana Loesch pundit is trying to make happen with a recent mass email. Why? Apparently some black guy is going to break in to the school and try and talk to her kids. Snippets from her e-mail: President Obama’s Address to Students Across America September 8, 2009… Word is traveling fast on the internet, between bloggers and twitter, the choice is clear : No school for kids on September 8th due to the beginning of Socialist Indoctrination of Americas children.

Marlene Davis Isn’t A Fan of Midtown Alley, But Loves 3am Drinking

 Posted on September 3, 2009  |  The Editor

We hear that Alderwoman Marlene Davis of the 19th ward is trying her damnedest to put the breaks on the Midtown Alley September 26th event. Why? Because she has an axe to grind with developer Jassen Johnson who has been renovating the “Midtown Alley” and at one point opposed Davis as she tried to get the club EXO to get a 3am liquor license. EXO got their 3am license after all, but Davis still has her Johnson voodoo doll and she thinks that shutting down an event that, as we see it, can only help St. [Read More]

Sedalia, Missouri’s School District is Run By Spineless Morons

 Posted on August 31, 2009  |  The Editor

If you graduated from Sedalia, Missouri’s school district, you are probably a moron. I’m just playing the odds here. Why? Well because apparently this wacky thing called science and specifically evolution isn’t cool enough to even be mentioned on a freaking t-shirt, let alone taught! T-shirts promoting the Smith-Cotton High School band’s fall program have been recalled because of concerns about the shirt’s evolution theme. The light gray shirts feature an image of a monkey progressing through various stages of evolution until eventually becoming a human. [Read More]

St. Louis To Keep Sucking Until 2014

 Posted on August 25, 2009  |  The Editor

According to a new report on the St. Louis economy, we won’t return to the pre-recession job availability level until 2014. The region will have lost 64,700 jobs, or 4.7 percent of its pre-recession total, by the time the local economy turns around in five years, according to a forecast released Monday by IHS Global Insight. “While most areas will begin increasing employment again in 2010, it will be tepid, with only 118 metros crossing the 1,000-job mark next year,” IHS said.

Stay Classy St. Louis: Health Care Fighting

 Posted on August 12, 2009  |  The Editor

St. Louis Health Care fights on YouTube:

Here’s an idea.  Everyone needs to shut the hell up and lets have a conversation like adults.

Morons on both sides are yelling at kids, telling them to “get a job” (college is a job), taking swings at old ladies and constantly talking over each other like five year-olds.  God you people suck.

The Missouri Supreme Court Thinks We are Stupid

 Posted on August 4, 2009  |  The Editor

The Missouri Supreme Court is apparently mulling over a law that would require all advertisements for lawyers to include the statement: “The choice of a lawyer is an important decision and should not be based solely upon advertisement.” You know, because if not, I was totally gonna. Here’s how it would work if the law passes for each type of ad (from STLToday.com and the Missouri Board of Governers): Print ads: In a font in high contrast to the background at least one-third the size of the largest font displaying a telephone number, e-mail address, website or other contact info.
