Things to Love

1. A weird photo of a college freshman in a green bodysuit interrupting an evangelist named Bro at the University of Missouri, posted without explanation on page 3.

2. Efforts to have Quincy named a "Fiber City." I see definite cross-promotion possibilities with All-Bran here.

3. An enormous photo of the pollen-gorged stamens of a flowering crab. Hey, those are sexual organs, people! I thought this was a family paper.

Yeah, That Ought to Work

"Missouri would assert its sovereignty and reject various federal policies under a proposed constitutional amendment given preliminary approval Wednesday by the state House."

On second thought, maybe they should ask Jefferson Davis how that idea went over last time it was tried.

That open forum wasn't so scary, now was it?

From QuincyNews.org:

"Jeff Kerkhoff talked about Grover Cleveland's impact on the country as president and Vince Shaw complained about the length of time it is taking the R.L. Brink Company to finish work being done on Oak Street."

Hot topics both.

Happy Happy Joy Joy

Opening Day today. I mean the real Opening Day, the one in which all teams are playing, not yesterday's fake one, which was just for the East Coast media market.

I'm glad to see the Cubs under new management, although I'm a Cardinal fan. The best years of that rivalry have always been when both teams are true contenders. I don't expect that to happen this year, but the Cubs should get better down the road. And who knows? After all, the Cards were picked to come in third last year. So the Cubs may surprise.

Don't bother me between 12:10 and 3 or so today.
