Way back in March of this year we told you about the Wentzville Timberland High school, and their teaching staff’s stomping on the poor little journalists of their school paper because they wouldn’t let them write about tattoos. Here’s how we summarized the situation it at the time:

No one is arguing that the principal has the last call in his school, and we aren’t going to get in to that here. This is really about letting the kids put their argument out there, be heard, and have a rational discussion about it. Hell, they even cared enough to start a blog about the subject, and just wanted to be heard by the school board.

The St. Louis man convicted of voting twice in the 2008 election was sentenced Wednesday to two years of probation, has to pay $350 in various fines, and oddly, sent to mandatory drug counseling.

Rumor is that, Tarrell Campbell, 34, opted for the drug counseling himself after realizing the folly of making a big effort to vote for President Obama twice, and get none of the “change” he broke the law for. Apparently half of a health care bill and a few stimulus bucks isn’t enough to keep Mr. Campbell on the Obama booze wagon!

Maryland Heights residents and commuters got a lovely present this morning when a local beverage distributer, Cott Beverages USA, had an issue that resulted in an ammonia leak. Fire officials released warnings and instructed everyone to stay in their homes if they could smell the ammonia.

It was never strong enough to cause and evacuations and by 8am it was all but evaporated.

Maryland Heights officials have no firm details on the cause of the noxious fumes, and have asked city officials to see where St. Louis University Basketball coach, Rick Majerus was during the time of the gas leak.

The train that takes the wheezing fat parents that turn to their excited child and say “Maybe…maybe…wheeew….maybe we take the train for a little….while? That’ll be fun huh? …no, walking isn’t always fun and we can see the monkeys some other time…lets just ride the train for a little while and then, ooooohhh! Dippin Dots!” derailed Saturday afternoon in a tunnel near “Big Cat Country”.

No one was injured. One car had derailed wheels about 5 inches off the track, but it did not tip over.

We had a tip slip by us when we had already written our original story on The Beautiful Kind’s announcement, but it’s worth of an update.

Our friends at the Riverfront Times have released an in-depth story with lots of interesting childhood details that’s worth reading — NSFW: The St. Louis mom behind sex blog the Beautiful Kind is outing herself

Go for the story, stay for the classy photos of her dildo collection.

The Greatest Show on Earth, Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus have come to town, to the delight of children everywhere. God we really hope someone can take something as simple and joyous in these troubled times and make it all so annoying that we don’t want to deal with it, thus strangling the fun out of one of the last few things that inspires childlike wonder.

10-year-old  Rachel Wilkerson is back home after following her dog deep in to the woods of Cuiver River State Park and getting lost for roughly seven hours Friday.

After leaving to walk the family dog Rachel said “Manger” ran off after some squirrels and after chasing him she couldn’t find her way home. The dog did though and when he came home without their daughter mom and dad called the police. Seven hours later, after, according to Rachel, a nap and falling down once, she walked back out of the woods, unharmed.

The native St. Louis sex blogger, The Beautiful Kind, has had a busy year. She’s disappeared, reappeared, and written a book already. What does an anonymous sex blogger do for an encore? Bleached butthole? One of those giant plastic fists? In the ear? Nope. Instead she decided to expose the one thing she hasn’t already put out there: Her name.

My name is Kendra Holliday, and I am The Beautiful Kind.

From time to time we like to dip in to the ole Missed Connections section in St. Louis’ own Craigslist. Why? Because these things are crazy stupid. Like KSDK airing a show about Cardinals highlights Thursday night during prime-time stupid.

Denny’s South county (southcounty)

Attractive blonde sitting with I assume was her husband, couldnt keep from looking at you, very sexy.

Nothing like spending your dinner trying to avoid eye-contact from the creepy guy a few tables away that clearly never did get the hint to make Denny’s somehow suck even more.

Later today at Lamber Airport, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA or “Those Rude People That Make You Actually Consider Not Showing Up For Your Vacation When You See the Security Line” to the rest of us) will hold a press conference announcing the introduction of “full body” scanners to the Lambert security checkpoints. The controversial scanners are already in 58 airports and are will be showing up in more by the end of the year.
