The 5th of JulyPosted July 5th, 2008 by Show Me ProgressThe Lee's Summit Symphony Orchestra performed a two hour concert this evening for an audience numbering approximately five thousand at the annual "Booms and Blooms" celebration held at Powell Gardens (25 miles southeast of Kansas City). Uh, what this holiday weekend is all aboutPosted July 5th, 2008 by Show Me ProgressGlen Greenwald hits another one out of the park: Sarah Steelman is right--about one issue anyway.Posted July 4th, 2008 by Show Me ProgressIt's an odd feeling to be cheering Sarah Steelman for doing the right thing. (Though I still have a wary eye out for an ulterior motive in her announcement that she has changed her mind about the ethanol mandate in Missouri.) She now opposes it. Friday Morning Open ThreadPosted July 4th, 2008 by Show Me ProgressToday's special July 4th open thread features literature from Jay Nixon. Click the pics to find larger (and smaller) sizes. What is on your mind? The 4th of JulyPosted July 4th, 2008 by Show Me ProgressSome random thoughts and links on what it's all about - this noble experiment that is American Democracy: Lord willin' and the creek don't risePosted July 3rd, 2008 by Show Me ProgressDNR director Doyle Childers is a brick wall. Environmentalists and ordinary rural people are welcome to bat their heads against him on the CAFO issue, but he knows their warnings about leaky lagoons are a bunch of henny penny the sky is falling nonsense. But sometimes even a brick wall can't hold back a flood. Six days ago, the K.C. Star reported that officials are worried about CAFO lagoons... What'll Be Today's Pre-Three-Day-Weekend Blunt Shake-up?Posted July 3rd, 2008 by Fired Up MissouriThe whims of the holiday calendar do bring with them some regularity, some consistency. Since today is the day before a three-day weekend, we can be almost certain that Team Blunt will use the opportunity for an upcoming extra-long media lull to take out some garbage. The day before the long Thanksgiving weekend, the Blunt administration quietly announced Ed Martin’s termination. With a three-day weekend upon us, what will Blunt announce today? Put this in your FISA pipe and smoke itPosted July 3rd, 2008 by Show Me ProgressFirst, a little bit 'o background courtesy of Glenn Greenwald: Democratic Blogs Pick SidesPosted July 3rd, 2008 by The SourceWhy are Democrat blogs getting so deeply involved in choosing up sides for their statewide and local primary contests? Is it fair for the general public reading those blogs that the blog owners do not reveal their inherent biases? In the Kansas City area some Democratic blogs fight with each other on a daily basis. Gone Mild, CCP and the KC Blue Blog all regularly prop up certain primary candidates, and not always the same ones. Reading some of vitriol on their comments sections you would think these blogs were Republican and deserving of rebuke. Dem Priorities in the Coming House Races: Part ThreePosted July 2nd, 2008 by Show Me ProgressIn summarizing for me the top priorities of the House Democratic Campaign Committee this year, Ronny Richardson pointed to four races in western Missouri and one in the north central part of the state. One-Term Blunt snubs Jackson County, againPosted July 2nd, 2008 by Show Me ProgressGuess the Republicans are intent on conceeding more of Jackson county to us, aren't they? McCain DayPosted July 2nd, 2008 by Fired Up MissouriSince we are on the subject of John McCain, I don't understand why the national press is ignoring the fact that McCain is a total hot head who simply does not have the temperment for leadership, much less international diplomacy. The latest example is yesterday's story from Thad Cochran about how John McCain's version of diplomacy in Nicaragua was to physically grab a guy by the collar in a room full of guns. At least the press in Mississippi is willing to write that story. The other story that likely won Bond and Blunt vs. Feingold on FISAPosted July 2nd, 2008 by Show Me ProgressKudos to today's St. Louis Dispatch, which is doing its bit to raise awareness of the FISA dispute. It offers two opposing editorial viewpoints from, on the Bush/Telco side, Missouri's contributions to the rightwing zeitgeist, Congressmen Kit Bond and Roy Blunt (here) and, from the new, rational American center, Senator Russ Feingold (here).  |
