A REALLY SLOW DAY

There was a bit of a ruckus last week as newspapers reported that a new Missouri law designed to update state statutes on sexual relations might -- just might -- outlaw sex in the Show Me State.

Right away lawyers started disagreeing about what the new law really says, but once the story was reported there was widespread sniggering and joking about the situation.

In case you are worried, it is highly unlikely any sex police are going to invade your bedroom anytime soon.

The simple fact is there isn't a whole lot to report from our state's capital in the final few days before a major election. Reporters, though, have editors who expect stories to be written. It is amazing what a reporter can find if there is sufficient desperation. The day the story about the sex law was published must have been a really slow day at the statehouse.
