That’s right! I have fans. I only have a few, but out of the top 403 internet service providers to provide traffic to my website over the last month, I wouldn’t have guessed that the object of my disaffection, American Nation Property and Casualty would have been #9 out 403! With 41 visits from their main office in Springfield, MO, I’m guessing the best source of accurate news about their sordid reputation IS RIGHT HERE! While you nice folks out on the interwebs are reading to find out what happened to Carol Ann and Laura Stutte, American National Property and (more…)

Comedy in Tragedy
I’ve been reading other people’s blogs postings about the arson that destroyed Carol Ann and Laura Stutte’s home last Labor Day. The comments that following these postings are normally sympathetic with some asshat occasionally accusing the couple of burning down their own home. I ran across one comment that was unlike any other so far. The writer summed up the situation well. I was taking a drink at the time and the spontaneous laughter made me gag and choke: He’s right.

Even with witness reports of two explosions and a fireball that could be seen above the treeline, that all waterhoses on the property had been cut and that “QUEER” (more…)

Calling Out the Troops
Greetings, First, I want to thank all of the 25,000+ people that have read Carol Ann and Laura’s story and signed the online petition at change.org. When I first created the petition, I wasn’t sure quite how it worked. I always thought that online petitions could have no effect. They aren’t legally binding. Why would the target of the petition care? I now know. Each time a new person signs the petition, the petition engine sends an email to all of the various targets listed. As you can imagine, this has a powerful annoyance factor. Even more so, it allowed (more…)
