Gone Mild: Roy Blunt - Out of Step With Missouri
http://gonemild.blogspot.com/2010/04/roy-blunt-out-of-step-with-missouri.html
Aging gracefully and dispensing wisdom from Kansas City. Tuesday, April 13, 2010. Roy Blunt - Out of Step With Missouri. For years, Roy Blunt has been a Congressman from a different part of Missouri and I could pretty much ignore his philandering. Corruption. But now he's trying to become my embarrassment, too, as a candidate for Senate, so I'm starting to pay attention to whether he can fill the shoes of Senator Kit "Earmark" Bond.

Gone Mild: 5 Honorary Meat Dishes
http://gonemild.blogspot.com/2010/04/5-honorary-meat-dishes.html
Aging gracefully and dispensing wisdom from Kansas City. Wednesday, April 21, 2010. 5 Honorary Meat Dishes. I'm a shameless carnivore, happy to be perched near the top of a providentially-designed food chain. I enjoy chunks of animal protein, I always have, and I always will. On this point, I share common ground with the Sage from Wasilla - " If God had not intended for us to eat animals, how come He made them out of meat? 2 Macaroni and Cheese: Many of us lived on boxed versions of this during college y...

Gone Mild: Kansas City is Spitting Mad at Jo Ann Emerson (R - Mo)
http://gonemild.blogspot.com/2010/03/kansas-city-is-spitting-mad-at-jo-ann.html
Aging gracefully and dispensing wisdom from Kansas City. Sunday, March 21, 2010. Kansas City is Spitting Mad at Jo Ann Emerson (R - Mo). Jo Ann Emerson is making the wrong choice. She's standing with the spitters. While she did not do the spitting, she egged on the unruly mob and has refused to reject the vitriol of the tea-baggers. It's funny to contrast Jo Ann Emerson's immaturity and lack of discipline with the class and discipline of her opponent in this election cycle. Tommy Sowers. Missouri press a...

Gone Mild: Olive Oil and Homebrew
http://gonemild.blogspot.com/2010/04/olive-oil-and-homebrew.html
Aging gracefully and dispensing wisdom from Kansas City. Thursday, April 22, 2010. Olive Oil and Homebrew. I've written about my willingness to violate the German purity law in making my homebrew. But I never thought I would go this far. I've started adding olive oil to my beer. The most professional way is to add straight oxygen to the wort, again, using an aeration stone. There's a little expense involved, and the stones are a bear to sanitize, but it's the best way to add oxygen. Sometimes, th...A lit...

Gone Mild: If I Recall Correctly . . .
http://gonemild.blogspot.com/2010/04/if-i-recall-correctly.html
Aging gracefully and dispensing wisdom from Kansas City. Thursday, April 15, 2010. If I Recall Correctly . . . One of the funnier moments in my visit to the "Taking Our Country Backwards" tour. Came when some local radio guy handed the microphone over to a distant relative of President Obama (they share a great-great-grandfather). The guy started spouting debunked lies about health care reform (16,000 IRS agents? That lie got demolished weeks ago. And then begged people to go to recalldennismoore.com.

Gone Mild: BP, Massey, Goldman Sachs - Don't Hate the Playa, Hate the Game
http://gonemild.blogspot.com/2010/05/bp-massey-goldman-sachs-dont-hate-playa.html
Aging gracefully and dispensing wisdom from Kansas City. Tuesday, May 04, 2010. BP, Massey, Goldman Sachs - Don't Hate the Playa, Hate the Game. BP could have prevented the oil spill with a little more safety equipment, but failed to do so. Massey Energy sent workers into unsafe mines while fighting regulatory fines. Goldman Sachs made money by selling sure losers to "valued" customers. It's not their fault. They are doing their jobs. BP looks at the cost of installing another "fail-safe" system, and dec...

Gone Mild: Schools First - Can't We Agree on Anything?
http://gonemild.blogspot.com/2010/04/schools-first-cant-we-agree-on-anything.html
Aging gracefully and dispensing wisdom from Kansas City. Monday, April 19, 2010. Schools First - Can't We Agree on Anything? The level of discourse among the chattering class of Kansas City is sometimes astounding. Occasionally, though, a conversation with someone removed from the political sphere casts a shaft of light into the room, and the ugly reality of political gamesmanship is revealed in all its sordid detail. The need to upgrade the city's infrastructure is universally acknowledged - the only qu...

Gone Mild: Elvis Costello and local politics
http://gonemild.blogspot.com/2010/04/elvis-costello-and-local-politics.html
Aging gracefully and dispensing wisdom from Kansas City. Tuesday, April 27, 2010. Elvis Costello and local politics. My column over at the KCFreePress. This week discusses dirty tricks and local politics. And it works in two of my Elvis Costello quotations - "There's no such thing as an original sin" and "I used to be disgusted and now I try to be amused.". Posted by Dan at 4/27/2010 06:09:00 AM. Im giving you a long, long look. Every day I write the book. Dan, you forgot one thing. Olive Oil and Homebrew.
