Are you a Mizzou fan? College Colors Day is an annual day where people across the country show their support for their favorite college by wearing its colors.

Another collection of pathetic human beings. Meth, domestic assault, rape. How do people get this way? Why does an adult male sexually abuse an 8 year old child? What in the world is the drive? I'd love to know the average IQ's of those posted here. 70 is considered borderline retarded. Anyway, looks like St. Charles law enforcement was quite busy this week.   more ›

I was referring to the "Jeffco Most Wanted" piece. Surely you can understand that there is a substantive difference between the public interest in …   more ›

Should Mitt Romney Make Fighting Porn a Priority if Elected?

Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney has said he would vigorously crack down on pornographers if elected.

Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney insists his No. 1 job is fixing the economy, but a former Reagan administration anti-porn prosecutor says the candidate's campaign has assured him that he also will "vigorously" crack down on pornographers if he is elected president, according to a Huffington Post report. And according to a Morality in Media release, Romney's campaign has told Morality In Media President Patrick Trueman that if elected, Romney would vigorously enforce federal laws prohibiting distribution of hardcore adult (obscene) pornography.
