• I was ranked as the fifteenth most influential political blog in Missouri last week by Blognetnews.com. I'm not sure what that means but the 100 Year Old Weblog, which posts stories from 100 years ago, was 18. If they ever make it to the 1950's I'm toast.

• Could there be any worse example of government waste than Kansas having an office for tourism and travel? Attractions like The World's Largest Ball of Twine really don't need any help from the government do they?
