For years I told people St. Louis politicians are corrupt in their own way — but don't take bribes. Now, the feds seem to have such activity on tape, part of an indictment that reads like a backwater municipality. Who the hell wants to do business in a place like that?

I don't mean people who are just a little conspiracy minded; I mean out-and-out ...continue reading "Crackpots in the Oval Office"
