Though not affiliated with the Southeast Missourian, I hereby formally apologize to the Oak Ridge School District for being left out in the published area school scores on the statewide standardized test. I actually think this apology will carry more weight than a front-page apology demanded by a Speak Out caller since this forum is, sad as it may be, more widely read...
Oak Ridge

More work needed
I want to thank the city for what they've done on Broadway. But have they ever stopped to look at Pacific Street to Kingshighway, in particular Perryville to Kingshighway? There's grass growing underneath the guardrails on the bridge behind Burger King. There's grass across from McDonald's. It looks terrible.
World War III?
Looks like our "anti-war" leader is trying to start World War III. It looks like it will be Russia, China, North Korea and Iran against the Obama administration and Israel. What good is to come from this?
