Catching up: Right to left.

Wednesday, March 21st, 2007

To quote a noted St. Louis blogger, I’ve been working like a Hebrew slave the last couple of weeks and have let a few things sit around longer than I should.

Some notables, right to left:

Pro-lifers Kerry Messer and Co. were pleased with Gov. Blunt’s announcement involving health care dollars and Planned Parenthood. So was Katie Favazza.

Paul Seale trademarked a new term last week.

Prediction: Dave Stokes will be to ’80s baseball references what Jason Rosenbaum is to ’80s lyrics references. Speaking of which, if you didn’t catch Rosenbaum’s reference yesterday, check out this handy explanation (link via Cool Papa Bell, Esq.)

I care about the KC mayor’s race about as much as I care about the Royals — okay, less — but Tony’s Kansas City is the place to be as the campaigns manufacture some intensity this week.

Finally, the good people who produced Can Mr. Smith Get to Washington Anymore? are offering the DVD for sale through their website. Those of you who research your purchases, or are too cheap to buy the movie, can read a thorough and unassailably accurate review here.

Combest, Drebes, Mannies to discuss the Internet tonight

Thursday, March 8th, 2007

Republicans, Democrats, and the media will each be represented at the St. Louis Area Young Republicans meeting tonight. Dave Drebes of the Arch City Chronicle and Jo Mannies of the Post-Dispatch will join me in a discussion of the Internet and the impact of political blogs.

The meeting begins at 7:30 p.m. and will be held at the St. Louis County Library Headquarters at 1640 S. Lindbergh Road.

Wednesday, March 7th, 2007

Pictures from Missouri Lincoln Days are now up at molincolndays.com.

It’s safe to assume that the overwhelming majority of the photos were taken by Lydia Hasekamp.

“Hurry up and buy!”

Tuesday, March 6th, 2007

Tickets are still available for the St. Louis County Lincoln-Reagan Day Dinner featuring presidential candidate Sen. Sam Brownback. Take a look here.

And while you’re on the site, take a look around. Central Committee Chairman John Winston deserves a great deal of credit for being the first to bring the Central Committee onto the World Wide Web in a meaningful way.
