Re: Post Office Closures
Also, despite these closures, USPS is an explicitly authorized power of Congress: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postal_Clause Meaning it, it's not going anywhere unless the constitution is amended first. And, I seriously doubt FedEx, UPS, DHL, etc. would ever attempt to deliver household mail to all ...

That may be true, but it isn't a Missouri thing. Here's the Columbia, MO website, and compare that to the KC website: http://www.gocolumbiamo.com/ParksandRec/Trails/ Trails do cost money, but that doesn't keep the local government from taking some initiative. The parks website is a thousand times ...

Romney is business-oriented and that's as close as your going to get. Also, if you want be considered a candidate, you have to be &q...

Re: Election 2008
Bobby Jindal was the name that kept coming up on NPR this morning, when discussing with Republican strategists the likeliest candidates for a party reconstructionist. So a far right evangelical, who happens to be non-white (East Indian), is the hope of the party? How about jettison the evangelicals...

The city's official neighborhood list has all of them: http://webfusion.kcmo.org/ColdFusionApps/neighborhoods/search.cfm Uhh, this is just neighborhood associations and things of that matter.

Re: Missouri voting requirements
The point is to make it easier to get to the polls and to work the polls. With elections of Tuesday people will be less likely to use it as a three day weekend and take voting more seriously.
