A right wingnut interpretation of Missouri's "Adopt a Highway" program

I don't think the Missouri Department of Transportation had this in mind as an acceptable manifestation of their Adopt a Highway program. On Missouri Highway 13, approximately two and a half miles north of the intersection of U.S. Highway 50, the following text is painted in three foot high letters (readable as you drive south): OBAMA IS AMERICA'S HITLER! GOOD BYE FREEDOM .....

The American Public Vs. Roy Blunt and Health Insurance Companies

That's the upshot of Bill Lambrecht's St. Louis Post-Dispatch article on Blunt's role in shaping GOP "policy" on health care reform. (I'm not sure you can call it "policy" when you can only produce a slim four page brochure chock full of slogans and devoid of numbers.) Voters fed up with insurance companies' red tape and denials of claims seem to favor a public option: 70 percent or more endorse....

The 4th of July - neighborhood fireworks

The firecrackers started going off in the street this afternoon. Before sunset there were a few impatiently set bottle rockets and one large mortar. The shrieks and whistles have escalated along with the distinct bass drum boom of mortars launching larger fireworks to greater heights. This will go on until at least midnight. Tomorrow morning we'll see the detritus all over our neighborhood... [...

Twitting Claire

Senator Claire McCaskill (D-MO) loves Twitter .  And, on more than one occasion, her off-the-cuff comments have caused some uproar. Not the excited notes from a sports fan (shared her same sentiments at that one), but off-hand comments about major policy issues that suggest potentially recklessly shallow understanding of critical issues.  After the House voted to pass HR2454, the Wa...

In Praise of Russ

I've been a Russ Carnahan skeptic since I moved to Saint Louis. The first few times I saw him speak, he was every bit as awkward and milquetoast as he was portrayed in Can Mr Smith Get To Washington Any More? and his early voting record was just as weak as one would have predicted from his performance in that race. But recently I've shifted in my opinion. Carnahan's voting record has been... ...

Bond: Cut Off Iran's Petroleum Supplies

Special interests wreck 'cap and trade' bill

Last week the U.S. House of Representatives passed the so-called American Clean Energy and Security Act (commonly referred to as “cap and trade”), but what it passed was a severely watered-down version that takes only the smallest steps toward reducing greenhouse gases. While it may be marginally better than no act at all, it fails the people in these ways: The bill’s targets are far less ambit...

"New Dem Health Plan Has Public Option, Lower Cost"

When traveling in Europe while studying abroad in college, I would occasionally run into people in hostels who had a strange view of traveling.
