Is Missouri Governor Parson Trying to Out-Stupid Donald Trump?


Missouri's Governor Parson---showing that not just this deeply ignorant, even dangerous Republican Party President Trump can be or is reckless and stupid.  First, last week, he did this:


Because yeah. In a pandemic.

Then yesterday, he said this.

Image may contain: one or more people, text that says 'stl TODAY TPSD St. Louis Post-Dispatch @stltoday Gov. Mike Parson: "These kids have got to get back to school.... And if they do get COVID-1 which they will and they will when they go to school they're not going to the hospitals.... They're going to go home and they're going to get over it." buff.ly/2WBb8Ye'

From Randy Turner today at The Turner Report blog out of Joplin, Missouri.

"No truth to the rumor- Gov. Parson directed the Department of Tourism to use the $15 million CARES Act grant to promote Missouri through the slogan- Come to Missouri, Get COVID 19. You'll Get Over It!"

Once again and as ever, thanks, Republicans!

Kansas City Gets Some Good, National Press This Week


Seen this week, out on the interwebs. We get some promotion.



Missouri: Kansas City

Known for its jazz heritage and incredible barbecue, Kansas City, Missouri, a somewhat underappreciated city, is not only a cheap weekend getaway but an exciting one, too. This is the perfect family-friendly destination. Take the kids to the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, enjoy Free Friday Night Flicks at Crown Center, view tons of wildlife in William M. Klein Park and explore nature at the Lakeside Nature Center. Be sure to make time for a Boulevard Brewing tour; taste drinks you can't get elsewhere.

So kudos, Kansas City. Maybe get out there and enjoy some old favorite place or find a new one. Enjoy. And have a great weekend.

Once Again, They Show Missouri for Kansas


Yes sir and ma’am, once again, there is an online article, this one describing weekend winter getaways and they show Missouri, Kansas City, Missouri as being Kansas.


What they show for Kansas.


I love the media.

And while I don't want to be mean, I feel pretty certain, for a winter getaway in Kansas, they don't mean get away to Kansas City, Kansas.

Just saying.

Then, when it comes to Missouri, they recommend a Winter getaway of Branson.


I have no idea what they're supposed to be showing here, from Branson but at least, hey, they stayed in the state, right? And got it correct?

Hilarious.  I love it.

So to have a great weekend getaway in Kansas----get outta’ the state.

Right.

I’m sure Convention and Visitors Bureaus all across Kansas will love that.

Last note: On no other state or recommendation did they get the state and corresponding picture and recommendation incorrect regarding that state’s getaway.
