Here’s today’s poll:
The poll will be open until 8pm. Wednesday I’ll discuss the results and my thoughts.
Is this another April Fool’s question? If not, I’ve definitely missed something in the news. Anyway, to declare the beloved Cardinals the official baseball team of MO is an overt slap in KC’s face, and in the face of every other Missourian who may not be an avid Cardinals fan. And who’s to say for sure that the Cardinals will be flying around ST Louis a decade from now? St Louis supports a winner, and let’s hope the Cardinals remain winners! Surely Rep. Curtis (the good Democrat that he must be) can see, along with others, that the State of Missouri has a whole bunch of higher-level priorities to deal with—can’t he?

No joke, this is very real.
I was hoping that it was a carry over from April Fools Day. (Regardless, it is still a joke, though.)
What a waste and distraction from things our reps should be focusing on…
I love the Cards but this is dumb.
