Messenger Finally Questioning Credibility of Gov’s “Communications Director” & “Public Relations Professional”

It was he [Nixon] who insisted that the information about Lake of the Ozarks — forget the science — should have been released immediately. It was […]

January 12th, 2010 · No Comments

According to Rep. Haywood, Calloway told her in a phone conversation that “he didn’t like being a state representative.” It looks like one of Rep. Calloway’s fellow colleagues and rival for the 14th district Senate Seat is not too pleased by him entering the race. Insiders tell us that Calloway promised Haywood he would not […]

The Sorry State of Journalism in Missouri

January 11th, 2010 · No Comments

Linda Martinez loses her job, Jack Cardetti and Jeff Mazur keep theirs. Senior officials in the Nixon Administration admit to lying and covering up dangerous E. Coli test results last summer and what was the K.C. Star editorial board’s response last week? Blame the Republicans for trying to get to the bottom of it! Political […]

January 11th, 2010 · No Comments
