Missouri: Home of Mark Twain! Wonder what he would have to say about this.
Missouri, also home of Branson. Praise Jesus and kick out the Republicans!
The University of Missouri is in Columbia, not St. Louis, so even if there was a football game today, it would be well over 100 miles away.
I honestly am beginning to believe that our country is going to save itself. Please don't disappoint us America. Vote against the Republicans.
And to hopefully President Barack Obama, you are getting one hell of a job. Let's all hope (or pray or chant or hum or whatever) that you are up to it. You are going to need all the help you can get.
Maybe America thinks Michelle Bachman should learn what terms like 'anti-American' really mean.
Is every white guy that endorsed McCain a racist too?
Who are you going to believe her or your lying eyes?
Do you suppose you could Senator James Inhofe on your show too? Bachmann is a woosy beside him. Problem is, my Okie neighbors are still voting for the jerk.
Please, help us elect State Senator Andrew Rice!!
I predict President Barack Obama will be recognized by history as one of our best Presidents.

Note that Snopes says a lawsuit filed on this was thrown out because it was "frivolous and not worthy of discussion."
Is that good enough to prove he is a U S citizen? Or are you one of the many trolls who just want to cause trouble?
The number was blocked out at the top of the birth certificate because of the original thought by the Obama campaign that the State of Hawaii did not want it released. It is now available else where on the Internet.
It is the low information voters who believe this stuff that gave us eight years of George W. Bush. Now that you have the correct facts, be sure to post it on all the boards where you posted the lie.
By "everyone in Oklahoma" if you are referring to the Daily Oklahoman or our fine Republican led Oklahoma State legislators, then you are perhaps correct.
But don't say 'everyone in Oklahoma' says any one thing. There are thousands and thousands of us who support Obama over McCain as well as Andrew Rice over the idiot Senator James Inhofe. There may be fewer of us, but we are growing everyday. And, look around. Do you see more Obama or McCain stickers on cars? Obama stuff is everywhere.
Get your butt out and do some campaigning. I live in one of the reddest counties in this, one of the reddest states in the country. Democrats have been hiding in the closet because of the rabid Republican majority for a few years.
Oklahoma may have spewed forth James Dobson and Sally Kern but it also gave the world Woody Guthrie and The Flaming Lips. We are extremely diverse. Maybe this is a 'safe' red state for McCain. But the Republicans may just be surprised at how small his margin really is in this state.
Give us a few years. Oklahoma will turn blue because many of us are sick of the Republican pretend-to- care- Christian domination and their narrow minded issues. Oklahoma has a horrific infant mortality rate, is number one in women in prison and health care for our elderly in some our state nursing homes is so bad we should be ashamed call ourselves a 'Christian' state.
Liberal thinking is just reality ahead of everyone else. And Oklahoma always seems to be a little behind most of the rest of the country.
Okies can and will change when they figure out they have been had. Oklahoma was a hotbed of socialism for Eugene Debs in 1914. History does repeat itself. The bankruptcy problems have not yet taken us down because of the oil and gas industry, but that obviously is changing. Just wait until the financial crisis hits hard here, people will forget all about their 'conservative' values.
And Farnsworth, I realize you were probably being all Stephen Colbert on me, but I have such frayed nerves these days. Being in these uber red areas sometimes makes you very sensitive and protective.
About all I can say is McCain's make up looked good. Wonder how much that cost? Otherwise, he sounded just, well, out of touch.
BTW, what thrift store gets the pricy clothing of Palin? And when do we all get to go shopping there?
The 'donation' of $150K worth of clothing is so lame and so hollow. If our government gives tax deductions for that, surely I can deduct the loss in my 401k.
No, that would make sense. Losing your retirement or the value of your home that cannot be deducted. Sarah Palin's clothing to make her look good CAN be deducted.
The tax system rigged for the wealthy: That is one of the many, many reasons why the Republicans are toast.
