St. Louis is the Asthma Capital for 2009

First chess, now this.

From OzarkFirst.com:

The Gateway City is the most challenging place to live with asthma in the United States.

That’s according to a study by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America, which ranks St. Louis as the number one asthma capital.

This unfavorable ranking is being blamed on the lack of public smoke-free laws, the higher than average pollen counts over the the previous year, and an increase in asthma deaths.

Guy With Vested Interests Says Population Rising Downtown

“Civic Leader” Jim Cloar of the Downtown St. Louis Partnership says that about 600 new people moved to downtown St. Louis over the last year.

Hmm, ok.  So it seems like thats an easy statement to just throw out there especially when you clearly have a vested interest in downtown sucking less.  I mean maybe its true…but its hard to believe a guy coming from his place.  Well look, maybe he just said it quietly to a reporter or something…it wasn’t making a big deal out of it.  That would really be odd if the guy was basically bragging…I mean how could you believe that?

The Battle Between Fat Chicks and Cute Chicks Rages On

The Battle Between Fat Chicks and Cute Chicks Rages On

As found on stlouis.Craiglist.org [ Direct Link ]:

What’s the worst thing ever? A FAT FEMALE BOSS

These bitches see a hot young girl like myself walk into their office and suddenly they can’t remember how to conduct a civil interview.

The first fat bitch comes in with a food stain on her shirt. Totally unprofessional. She didn’t give a shit about the interview so I didnt either. The next one (her boss) also old, fat and nasty – i might as well have walked out of the room before the thing even started. I hope you big, fat, cowardly wastes of space on this earth get diabetes from your heaviness and cancer from your cigarettes. you both reaked of them!!

An actual St. Louis Craigslist “Missed Connection” [link]:

You were giving a BJ at Rockwood Reservations – m4w (Eureka MO)

I pulled up beside you at Rockwoods Reservation and you were giving another gentleman a BJ in the car. I did not see you at first, but I guess when you were finished you popped your head up gave him a kiss goodbye and then got into your own car. You looked over at me with a blushed face and smiled and drove away. If you remember what color my car was email me.

obama

I sure hope no cute little white girls get abducted today or Nancy Grace won’t have anything to talk about tomorrow.  Why?  Because no one can report it, since President Obama’s first act was apparently to call off all other news for the entire day.  Think I’m lying?  Check the front page of STLToday.com.

I’ll wait.

See?  That’s all there is today.
