CLINTON ON TRUMAN — Former President Bill Clinton... Ahhhh, remember the Clinton Years? Stock market through the roof, no American cities destroyed by terrorism or flood, general peace and prosperity — The Good Ol' Days. Oh how we miss thee... Anyway, back to my thought... Clinton is going to be in Independence, MO today speaking on the legacy of Missouri's only U.S. President, Harry Truman.
If you're contemplating the four-hour drive, don't bother. Tickets are sold out. Hey, it's Bill.WANTED: MINORITY LEADER — Earlier this week, it broke that State Rep. Jeff Harris (D-Columbia) was stepping down as House Minority Leader. MissouriPolitics.net and Jason Rosenbaum think current Asst. Leader Paul LeVota (D-Jackson County) is the leading figure to replace Harris.THE "I WISH..." LAW — Governor Matt Blunt has been zig-zagging across the state in recent weeks signing bills into law. As a matter of fact, the Gov will be in Maplewood and St. Charles later today to sign two more. But last week, Blunt signed one of the more popular new laws — at least among the fellas in the barbershops.
Called the "Castle Doctrine" by supporters, the new law allows people to use deadly force on intruders to their homes or carjackers. In addition to shielding people against lawsuits, the bill also removes the requirement that a person flee from an attacker.
In the barbershops, it's being called the "I Wish a Muthafucka Would" law after Cedric the Entertainer's popular comedy routine (video clip NSFW).

The giegerich article about Bourisaw's attitude toward the two boards-----was there anything here?
I have accused others of failing to follow up on other reporters stories---hope that is not happening here.
This is kjoe---it will no longer accept my password, nor let me create a new one---it claims my e-mail does not exist---it must be my fault, but i cannot figure it out.
