I feel as though I thoroughly sucked the marrow from the Gateway City this weekend. After an early morning road trip to Lambert’s in Sikeston Saturday morning (they give you free refills on your meal, you understand, which even my mom doesn’t do) I got home just in time to walk over to a nearby […]

What is wrong with this picture?
One of my favorite traditions continues, the annual Forgetting To Go To The Balloon Race.
31st Annual Great Forest Park Balloon Race
Description: The Balloon Race, presented by Energizer, will take place at Central Field in Forest Park, just east of the Jewel Box. The Race is free and a wonderful event for family, friends and pets! […]
Even Aljazeera haspolitical cartoonists,
apparently. And it would seem that their idea of irresponsible journalism is that Arab media outlets aren’t hard enough on Israel. I eagerly await Bill O’Reilly’s response.
Newsweek/MSNBC does have an excellent article this week about Osama bin Laden, who you may remember as the Evil One we have wanted Dead or Alive for two years. “That guy in the beret with the moustache?” you ask. “No,” I reply, “but I understand your confusion.”
…bin Laden’s elusiveness and the Taliban’s resurgence—combined with the […]
By the way, on the subject of Newsweek: is there an “I don’t have f***ing kids” edition that I could subscribe to? Lately, I open my mailbox on Tuesdays and it’s like I got added to the Parents magazine mailing list. It’s like getting the local 5:00 newscast delivered to my door. I feel like […]
“hssssbuzzzz Country music legend Johnny Cash has died. Noted television performer John Ritter has died. Several Iraqi policemen have died, after having been accidentally shot by their liberators. It’s raining. I double-dog dare you to get out of bed. This is NPR.”-my clock radio
PHNOM PENH (Reuters) - Cambodians are being urged to eat more dogs as part of a crackdown on stray mutts wandering around the capital of the southeast Asian nation…

It works!
It’s broken!
It works!
It’s broken!
It works!
It’s broken!

Oh, the humanity!
This could look better.
Oh well. I knew this was a possibility. Bear with me. For the time being, the site will have to survive solely on the strength of its content, which is to say it’s screwed.
After some helpful, constructive reactions to the new site design, I thought I might tweak the color scheme somewhat. (Also, I use the site all day and it was giving me a migraine. But don’t tell anyone; I still have my pride.) So, we are now in our blue period.
Also, it is my duty to […]
GUANTANAMO BAY NAVAL BASE, Cuba - American interrogators here have come up with a few new weapons as they try to pry loose the secrets of prisoners captured on the battlefields of Afghanistan.
“It could be cupcakes, it could be Twinkies, it could even be a McDonald’s hamburger,” says Warrant Officer James Kluck, who, as the […]
the latest census shows that more African-Americans live in St. Louis County than in St. Louis City. And of the black residents in St. Louis City,
more of them live South of Delmar than north of Delmar. Less than one in four black St. Louisans lives in North St. Louis.
Hotmail likes to tack little MSN plugs onto the bottom of all its outgoing messages; there is no way to stop the unceasing thrust of their self-promotion from reaching your correspondents. While they are diligent about their shilling, their proofreading leaves something to be desired. Apparently MSN users get access to new, more expressive emoticon-smiley […]
In my dimwittery, I neglected to use this space for something useful.
This weekend, ryan will be participating in the two-day annual MS 150 Charity Bike Tour in an effort to raise funds for research and local programs while also raising blisters on his trim, manly ass. This man, in an age where motorized vehicles are […]
An important safety tip from Sparky, the Missouri Driver’s Guide’s State-Sanctioned Fun Mascot:
“Hey, kids! Remember: when you’re driving through a biblical flood, and you see stoplights that have been conked out by a power outage, just zooma zoom zoooooom right through the intersection like they’re green!… Except, actually, wait; that’s not what you’re supposed […]
It has recently come to my attention that my religion has produced a saint who was a dog.
In the late 1200s, an inquisitor in Lyon kept hearing about the people of the town making pilgrimages to the resting place of a local saint named St. Guinefort, who was considered by the locals to be a […]
