That was the title for a post we wrote back on April 22nd. Here’s an excerpt: “From hiring crony’s, to investigating Republican state committeemen, to attempting to orchestrate the demotion of the leader of  the Veteran’s Commission, there seems to be a disturbing Taliban/Nixonesque pattern emerging here.” It seems that disturbing pattern is continuing.

Congratulations to Springfield’s “King of all Media”

May 14th, 2009 · No Comments

We’d like to recognize KY3’s “pretty boy” Dave Cantanese for his recent honor. A local Springfield magazine named Mr. Cantanese one of their “20 under 30” and Springfield’s “king of all media.” Although his reporting is sometimes suspect, one sided, and careless, we still congratulate him for his award and for having thick skin.

Cantanese, You’re a Joke!

May 11th, 2009 · No Comments

Do you even care about your credibility anymore? Nixon aides try to bribe legislators last week (media predictably sweeps it under the rug) and he still warrants a “C-” grade? Be on the lookout down at the studio Dave, a case of Chapstick and a new set of knee pads are on the way from […]

McCaskill Slams New Media; Questions “Quality”

As the Democrats diligently go about the process of nationalizing the banking and auto industries, Senators’ McCaskill and Kerry gives us a clue as to what industry they’d like to see nationalized next with a bailout or “stimulus” package. With President Obama decrying every problem in this country a crisis, we hardly see the death […]

Cong. Clay’s Pending Divorce: Who Cares?

May 6th, 2009 · No Comments

This will be our first and last post regarding Congressman Lacy Clay’s pending divorce.

The Teapot Calling the Kettle Black (no pun intended)

April 14th, 2009 · No Comments

As you’ve probably heard by now, longtime St. Louis Post Dispatch columnist Sylvester Brown was let go yesterday for allegedly violating the paper’s “ethics” policy, a policy apparently designed to protect the paper’s independence and credibility.

Nixon Surely Lamenting the Tigers’ Loss

April 3rd, 2009 · No Comments

Now that the Mizzou Tigers’ great basketball season is over, Governor Nixon is undoubtedly dealing with the prospect of not being able to use his luxury party suite at Mizzou Arena until next year.
