And now Missouri's most powerful Republicans are calling for him to step down. Behaving like a pit bull that can't be turned off may work for SEALs, though I doubt it would most of the time, but for sure it doesn't belong in public service.

Go, Senator Claire!

Greitens donates to Hawley, Hawley almost allows the statute of limitations to expire, Greitens goes for the TRO.

but Georgia's governor's race is becoming very interesting Our Democratic candidates are a black woman, Stacey Abrams, and a white woman, Stacey Evans. If either won, Georgia would have a liberal Democratic female governor (!), and Abrams would also be the first black woman governor in America. Close to a third of Georgians are black.

Their Republican opponent is a white male conservative, of course, but a relatively weak candidate. He's the kind of extreme socioreligious conservative who's so over-represented these days that media routinely misrepresent them as plain old conservatives. Unfortunately, he's a very common type for Georgia. He's the one who hit the national news recently for throwing a hissy and vowing to slam Delta (a giant in this state) with taxes if Delta stopped offering discounts to NRA members (a whole two or so of which had been claimed in the life of the program). This is also causing worry that he may have cost Atlanta Amazon's new headquarters.

No Greitens-Hawley, of course, but still ...

and the Wife and I were busting a gut laughing. The hits just keep coming.

I'm in Warrensburg.

Named Ferguson.

Maybe it was on the news? Or maybe it's because Michael McDonald, Mr. Yacht Rock himself, is originally from the area.

I had an old classmate who was so afraid her thirteen year old son was going to take off and join the protests in Ferguson when it all happened. She did not want her son to possibly become another statistic. We had several discussions about it at the time.
