The graphics would make a good movie poster for a Sergio Leone western…

Who paid for this? The usual suspects:

Additional concrete proof that the Missouri republican party is completely irony impaired:

There’s an itty bitty tiny teeny footnote which refers to SB 539 in the 2005 session of the Missouri General Assembly. Let’s look at the Journal of the House [pdf] for April 7, 2005 (page 935):

That’s chutzpah.

The “B” side of the mail piece.

The best definition of chutzpah? Murdering your parents then asking for leniency from the court because you’re an orphan…
