I live in Missouri, in the deep Red Ozark Mountains in the SW part of it and I shared an article on that on FB in a local group.

Our Governor really blew it on this one. Folks here will generally stand by their GOP Party and for the most part they never talk about Parson here but this really pissed them off.

I was surprised by the comments and the number of them. They are pissed about the incompetence of those who built the website and quite a bit more so that Parson would try to charge the journalist with a crime for finding it.

We're all just shaking our heads over that.




FYI the P in GOP already stands for Party.


I LOLd out loud when I saw it


lol... yeah that was a typo. I make those sometimes to see if anyone will notice.


Isn't it a little strange that these red-staters don't even know their own name?

The lowercase "party" in my mind removes the redundancy as a class description for the collection of all political parties rather than as part of an abbreviated name for the one in question.

Unlike the "P" which stands for Preproccessor, in PHP.

Edit: whoops, they are both capitalized. Too bad I wrote with an ink pen.
