One of my Co-workers in St. Louis told me Gardner will be re-elected without much of a contest.
What is the race of the victim?
The McCloskeys are lawyers. Didn’t seem to protect them from frivolous charges.
Best and brightest? Appears affirmative action has reared its ugly head again.
Brought about by…..wait for it…..lawyers.
