A friend reported it was so cold this morning that he actually saw a liberal with his hands in his
own pockets!

Pushing 12F right now.
....

Bright warm sun here but still -2.

That’s the saying about our Illinois Madigans

Tim, you're close to St Louis, eh?
Saw a cable program 'Abandoned' the other day about how the population had dropped in the city. Also the 22 schools that have closed up and are just left to fall apart. Too bad...that big arch and skyline always made the city seem prosperous.

For the past 60+ years the mayor of St. Louis has been a Democrat. It is suffering from the same
pains as many of our other major cities that have been led by Democrats for the past many years. As
long as the welfare keeps flowing, they'll continue to get elected and we'll see our big cities
become like Detroit.

Look at Ferguson...

I went to St. Louis not too long after the incident in Ferguson to support a sales trip. While we stayed in St Louis, the client was in East St Louis.. Both areas, especially ESL, were fairly depressing and blighted. We did eat dinner one night on "The Hill", an Italian neighborhood with some good restaurants. Had lunch the next day at a small Iranian place in the artsy area of town. Very good and interesting, the owner was really nice and helped us with the menu.

The place was nowhere as bad as Detroit (for example), but you could see and sort of feel the decay.
