Five stories from today’s P-D that interested me, just not enough to make blog posts out of each one of them:
1. Mike Colona won Rep-67-D on Tuesday, a district in south St. Louis city south of Tower Grove Park. He won, we’re told, in spite of his links to the porn industry. With the way that neighborhood is going, that’s why he won.
2. Jay Nixon’s going to use the Steelman playbook against Hulshof, in that he’s too Washington to understand Missouri. This coming from the same Jay Nixon that twice was the Democrat nominee for U.S. Senate (1988, 1998) and lost both times. So he himself wanted to be Washington.
3. The Springfield, Illinois tourism authorities are worried that the state’s reducing hours at the city’s state-run historical tourist traps is reducing interest in the city. I happen to think it’s not the hours that the exhibits and buildings are open that’s driving people away, it’s the reprobate they honor. Sic semper tyrannis.
4. St. Louis’s Finest are going to heighten scrutiny at the MetroLink stations at Delmar and Forest Park, because there have been three “violent attacks linked to roaming groups of teens and young adults” (sic) at those stations. Roaming groups of teens and young adults. Hmmm. Wonder what they could be. You know what they say, when in roam, do as the roamers do.
5. The P-D, which is ever opposed to any hint of “white supremacy,” has essentially postulated that you need white people in a given place for it to be prosperous and desirable.
