Off topic but wasn’t sure of the best way to contact you.

This is a very well written article which, while humorous, illustrates how close we are to a second war of secession.

Urf, Tim: as a MO resident (other side of the state in rather more sane KC) I am well aware of the combination of "deeply stupid" and "utterly unhinged" figures who have decided to run for Roy Blunt's seat (check out the looney-tunes grifter Eric Greitens). This is a very funny article, but alas not so divorced from reality not to be worrisome. However, with the likes of McCloskey on the ticket we might have another Troy Akin moment, if the Dems run a reasonable campaign with a strong candidate.
