My recent post on crime in this town has apparently caused quite a little stir. Some friends have asked me if I’m going to respond to what’s been written in the blogosphere? Not really. The way I figure it, if someone doesn’t have enough synaptic activity to understand sarcasm and satire when they read it, then what would […]

I’m wrapping up my business trip to St. Louis this morning, but I had to share this story from dinner last night. My old law school friends and I got together and started talking about the Presidential race. One of my good friends who is a true-hearted conservative from Kansas asked me who I thought […]
