As the St. Louis region at large fans itself with $100 bills from the enormous stack of settlement cash we recently took out of Stan Kroenke's pocket, the toupee-wearing Rams owner's bucket of woes continues to fill up in exactly the same manner as seats at his team's game do not. The latest delicious bit of schadenfreude in the ongoing saga of St. Louis hating on Kroenke's goofy ass while blissfully rolling around in his money comes via NBC Sports, which reported this week that the Rams are struggling so badly to get people out to games this season that they've begun concocting a cockamamie charity scheme just to fill seats.

The U.S. House moved Wednesday to avoid an economically disastrous nationwide rail strike, voting to codify an agreement that members of some unions had already rejected and separately add paid sick leave that workers had demanded. The two-track approach allows Democrats to avert a strike that could cost the U.S. economy up to $2 billion […]
Here's an interesting comparison of an artwork with itself in the Orange County Museum of Art. This is a normal exposure that shows what the piece looks like to the naked eye, and I initially took it only to make fun of it. A blank white canvas? Please. It's been done. But then I noticed ...continue reading "Lunchtime Photo"

ALTON - Marquette Catholic senior Max Cogan has emerged as one of the area’s top bowlers so far this season. He is the Explorers’ boys bowling captain and is a Tucker’s Automotive Repair & Tire Male Athlete of the Month for Marquette. Cogan thanked his teammates, parents, and coaches for their assistance in his bowling career. Cogan recently recorded a score of 267 at a match. He said he loves hanging out with friends and family in his off-time. Cogan added that his involvement in sports has shown him how to work together as a team and be there when other people need him. “I plan to play football in college, but I am undecided yet on where to go,” he said. “I am interested in going to college to study movie production.” The Marquette senior has been on the high honor roll all four years and is in the school's National Honor Society. He said there is "nothing" he enjoys "more than being with family and playing sports.”
