Helping the poor
Congratulations to Walt Wildman for accepting a position designed to address the infinite problems with poverty and social justice permeating Southeast Missouri. Sadly, even a multitalented person like Wildman will have a perhaps insurmountable challenge in changing the entrenched, relatively indifferent views of the political and other members of the establishment when it comes to paying any attention to the plight of the poor.
Citizenship path
One hears a lot about a pathway to citizenship for our Hispanic neighbors to the south. There already is a path to citizenship.

Bieber buzz
Talk about being out of control. Governor Christie can't hold a candle to Justin Bieber.
