An 1870 tour guide of St. Louis noted that beer hall sales averaged 15 to 20 barrels per day. Author Chris Naffziger will discuss his book on brewer Adam Lemp next week (6:30 p.m. on July 24) at Central Library. #FridayFact

Really shouldn’t have to say this. But if you have the cold audacity to exploit a tragic natural disaster and raise political donations or throw political stones while firefighters are still searching collapsed buildings for survivors, then you have lost the entire plot.

While everyone is focusing on this whack job's political beliefs, I'm also pretty concerned that a guy with 8 previous criminal convictions including for barricading himself inside a business with a gun in Greensboro was able to get his hands on an AK-47.

I don’t think we need to do a study to know the answer to this question.

I don't suppose anyone has done a study to see whether certain media were getting better ratings under Trump's administration...

If you think this column is actually about smoking cigarettes and drunk driving in 1980s downtown, you’ve totally missed the point. Think deeper.
