    10 May 2012 | 11:11 pm
    Republicans across the nation have stumbled in fits and tugs for a decade, losing their ability to stake a strong claim to the education issue.   According to this view the national Democratic Party is so intertwined with the NEA that they were beholden to the specific interests of that narrow constituency.  Republicans could have taken the public policy high-ground and cast Democrats as obstructionists to education reforms. It was teed up as the perfect issue to win Independents and the much-coveted soccer-mom demographic whose swing can determine an election.   But instead of…

Jeanie Riddle will take over the chairmanship of the powerful Rules Committee next year.   This appears to be the resolution to discussions to keep Riddle in leadership, and yet avoid any divisive leadership races.  Rep. John Diehl looks uncontested for Floor Leader.  And Rep. Caleb Jones, who is now vice-chair of Rules, is thought to be headed for a chairmanship of the General Laws Committee.   Of course, Speaker-elect Tim Jones has probably made it clear that he’s not pinned into any position.   Originally in May 2 MOScout.

  • Boulevard Cheesed About American Craft Beer Week

    Mike
    16 May 2012 | 11:50 am
    So the headline may be a bit misleading, because Boulevard Brewing isn’t angry about American Craft Beer Week, they’re excited. They’re excited about the fun beer and cheese sampling events they’ve put together with Hautly Cheese. Here’s a look at the events: Wednesday, May 16  7:00 pm-?

  • 05/16/2012 Llywelyn’s Pub Presenting a Brew You Never Knew

    Mike
    16 May 2012 | 9:11 am
    While it’s fun to be on the hunt to try and find that special or fun beer, it can be pretty tiring. Well, you can stop running all around town and visit Llywelyn’s Pub in Webster Groves (and also now in St. Charles!) to see something cool on tap. Llywelyn’s is continuing their program that they’ve been calling “A Brew You Never Knew.” Each Wednesday, Llywelyn’s will feature a single beer on draught that may have been overlooked or in some cases is the only draught version of that beer in town. It’ll be a chance to re-visit an old favorite or…

  • Dear Cubby?: Fly in my glass

    Welcome STL Hops’ advice column: “Dear Cubby.” For those of you that may not frequent the forums, cubby_swans is one of the first and most vocal curmudgeons on STL Hops. He’s now here to give you a little advice and possibly a swift kick in the teeth. If you have a question for Cubby, you can reach him at cubby@stlhops.com. Dear Cubby I was enjoying a super whale lambic and a fly had the nerve to land in my glass and go for a swim.  Flies love to land on poop.  Do I dump this glass?  I am scared. Dear Scared, There is probably nothing more better in the beer geek…

  • Flying Saucer Coming to St. Louis

    Mike
    15 May 2012 | 2:08 pm
    As reported by the Riverfront Times’ Gut Check (and I guess also the St. Louis Business Journal, but it can’t be seen online) it looks like St. Louis is getting our own Flying Saucer Draught Emporium. If you’re not aware of the Flying Saucer, it’s a chain of restaurants mainly located in the south that have a heavy emphasis on craft beer. When I last visited the Kansas City Flying Saucer, they looked to have about 200 bottles and 100 draught lines. If the St. Louis location, which looks to be going in at 1120 Spruce Street downtown, has that many taps, it’ll…

They were all speaking German. Bottom, the line outside Sweetie Pie's next to the race course in late afternoon. The place is said to have the best soul food in St. Louis. I've eaten there a couple of times and it sure is yummy. Since they got their own reality show on the Oprah network it takes forever to get a table. By 5:45, the queue on the sidewalk was easily 50 people. Sorry (again) about the lack of comments. I've…

    . At the Tour de Grove on Saturday, I watched races for men, women and handicapped competitors on three-wheel recumbent cycles. Everyone was impressive. The last time I tried to ride a bike I needed a cortisone shot in my knee. Really. The action I photographed was far beyond me. Toward the end I was sitting on the curb, shooting the men with a wide angle lens as they zoomed by. The woman above, who was among the leaders throughout the race (as in the next picture) stopped beside me to chat with a race official. She looked like a Valkyrie on wheels. Check out those muscles.

There is a 1.7 mile / 2.7 km course laid out in the streets of The Grove neighborhood. Lots of good snaps. Should keep me occupied for days.

    I'm writing this Tuesday afternoon, while watching our dear Cardinals struggle to fend off the continued advances of the Chicago Cubs, who have just tied up the game again. Booo, says I. Boo. Anyhow, writing this from the past, I have no foreknowledge of things that will be by the time you read this, dear friends. I imagine the world of tomorrow is full of sassy robots and food in pill form -- or, perhaps, suppository form. I'm hoping for pills, myself, but I suppose we'll have to deal either way. Actually, come to think of it, if the food is all in suppository form, and you're really upset…

    15 May 2012 | 11:35 am
    After today's starting lineup was announced with Skip Schumaker in center field, the St. Louis Cardinals announced that starting center fielder Jon Jay would be heading to the disabled list due to continued pain from the shoulder he separated during a collision with the Busch Stadium outfield wall last month. The club recalled outfielder Shane Robinson from Memphis just a few days after demoting the right-handed hitter to make room for Lance Berkman after the veteran's activation from the disabled list. Jay collided awkwardly with the center field wall while tracking an eventual home run…

  • The St. Louis Cardinals Can't Win All The Regressing

    DanUpBaby
    15 May 2012 | 8:01 am
    You Can't Win Them All or Luck Evens Out, Eventually aren't quite sabermetrically appropriate phrases, but there's something more satisfying about them than the idea of things regressing to the mean. I think it's because there's an element of moral judgment to the first two that appeals to me, as someone who always feels bad when too many things go his way at once. So when the Cardinals lost yesterday that irrational part of me thought, hey, why get greedy? The Cardinals can't win every game, or else you're going to get bored and you'll have to start a new Baseball Mogul franchise. They still…

    Since my husband and I found out we were expecting our first baby, we have been reading all kinds of books. I just ran across this section of one of those tomes. Before you leave your old home, find a hospital in the area that you are moving to that you want to use and, then find a doctor (who is accepting new patients) who delivers at that hospital. Do this as soon as you are moving because it may take some time to get in to see the doctor for your first appointment A real-estate agent should be helpful in this situation. Ask about a hospital with a level 2 or level 3 nursery. These…

I remember starting the last paragraph with “…But as Red Cross Volunteers you know the work never really ends. Disasters can happen at any time, a heart can stop with no warning, a fire can leave a family homeless in a flash and the Red Cross has to be ready to respond…” and about 2 weeks later the Good Friday tornadoes kicked off one of the deadliest…
