  • The Ballad of Reverend Rice - Perfect! Couldn't have said it better myself.

  • Megalo, you're starting to remind me a little of "Lord of the Rings" where Rice and his army of orcs are storming Helm's Deep when Gandalf and his army show up at the dawn of the fifth day. I wonder how you would look with Gandalf's beard?

    You're right, about another homeless shelter not being needed in Cape County. There's already one in Jackson and it's not full. I don't know the area where that one is located, but my impression is wherever one is opened, blight will follow.

    I do wonder what your definition of newbies is? I've lived in Cape since 1992 and four more years during college. Is that considered a newbie? Just checking to see if I need to start packing my bags.

    Thank for reading.

  • Megalo, that's a relief. I have way too much stuff. It would take me a year to pack.

  • I am orginally from St. Louis, and I agree with you,keep Larry Rice out of Cape Girardeau. I haven't noticed homeless people sleeping in the streets of Cape. You don't need the shelter.

  • Good grief...Just_Me, now u started something? Might as well count Megal in too. Crazy arses!

    Seems a decision should be coming soon about Rices' application, didn't they have like 21 days?

  • His application was submitted on May 4 and according to an article in the paper, the Department of Health and Human Services must make a decision within 25 days. So, it looks like May 29 at the latest. Although, I don't know what's going to happen since all these politicians are speaking out. Perhaps that will delay the process.

    Thanks for reading.

  • Is it just me or has our homeless population spiked in recent days? Each day this week, I've seen homeless looking persons on various street corners. I've worked in Washington, DC, so I know the look of the homeless. Surely, someone would not be "seeding" our city to give the appearance of rampant homelessness - for a need that isn't and has never been here.
