Karl Rove was the keynote speaker Monday evening at Missouri Boys State in Warrensburg, Missouri on the campus of the University of Central Missouri. He spoke for approximately twenty minutes and then took questions for over an hour. At one point he was asked about the 2016 GOP presidential field.

"...Or, in the case of Donald Trump, they're complete idiots...."

"...the third tier is gonna be mostly entertaining, except for that guy Trump who's a complete moron..."

The annual University of Central Missouri homecoming parade took place in Warrensburg yesterday. In election years local (and sometimes statewide) politicians walk the parade and greet people along the route. The lineup for the parade starts at around 7:30 a.m. Almost everyone is waiting in place by the time the parade starts at 9:00 a.m., though the politicians usually don't step off into the parade route until around 10:00 a.m. The wait gives those in the parade an opportunity to converse, talk, visit, schmooze, or whatever you want to call it.

Yesterday morning before the parade started Representative Vicky Hartzler (r) met Randy Huggins' grandson for the first time.

Apparently, if you read the Internets, a Saudi national accused of a murder in Warrensburg, Missouri had the charges against him dismissed by an elected republican prosecutor in the courtroom of a now republican circuit judge because President Obama personally intervened in the case when he visited town last week....

Kansas City evacuation, bomb scare has quite the backstory

....Moharam popped back up on the radar in 2011 in an interview someone with his name gave to a Daily Kos blogger in Kansas City during a pro-revolutionary protest against Egypt's authoritarian regime.

Moharam railed against Al Qaeda and Hosni Mubarak's regime and praised the U.S. at length. "We have the best land, the best freedom in the world," he told Daily Kos, in broken English. "Why we don't tell these people copy from us?"....

This week Representative Vicky Hartzler (r), first term right wingnut in Missouri's 4th Congressional District, voted again to repeal the Affordable Care Act:

Rep. Vicky Hartzler ‏@RepHartzler
The House has repealed ‪#ObamaCare‬! We must repeal this bill that's increasing health care costs & making it harder for businesses to hire. 12:57 PM - 11 Jul 12

In 2009 we interviewed Randy Huggins, a resident of Leeton, Missouri - in the 4th Congressional District, about one of his personal experiences with the health care reform dialog. With the republican House of Representative voting, yet again, to repeal the Affordable Care Act we sought out Randy Huggins yesterday to ask him how the implementation of health care reform has affected him and his family in the interim, and how repeal would impact them: Read More

The birther business from Representative Vicky Hartzler's (r) town hall in Sedalia, Missouri last Thursday has been making the national blogs these past few days. There was another remarkable exchange, also mentioned in the Sedalia Democrat report, which possesses an abundance of right wingnut paranoid win.

Via the Twitterverse:

@RoyBlunt Senator Roy Blunt
For those noting that recess appts are common practice under past presidents, this is unprecedented bc the Senate is not currently in recess 5 hours ago

So, if the Senate is actually in session was Senator Blunt (r) there? Isn't that the opposite of recess? Just asking.

"...And, uh, let's let our state have a voice again. I mean, we need to take this, I, I'm really sad that we have to pay for a recall election. I'm really sad about that. I, but at the same time, I'm even more sad about how this is affecting the people of this state, how it's driven people into poverty and, and how it's all about power and influence. And, and the person, the person with the most power might have the most money. You know, I don't believe that. I think if we all gather together, if we're in one voice, then it's the people of this state that have the power, not the money, you know..."

Proponents of the recall of Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker (r) have collected over 500,000 signatures toward their goal of 720,000 to initiate a recall election.
