Redneck Of The Week
You know -- just when I think I've got a sure thing ... it gets more interesting!
I REALLY wish to give a "Redneck of the Week" award, but it appears that there must be two of them -- and right here from our own little county!
I'll have to do it in chronological order, though ... here we go!
St. Charles resident and "Citizen Advocate" (cough, cough) JOE BUEHRLE!
This poor excuse for a man has decided to take his anti-immigration message and turn his neighborhood into Redneckville. It's not that people disagree that illegal aliens shouldn't be given rights, but this hoosier thinks it's a good idea to create a large sign out of neon-colored construction paper and a black magic marker.
What caught my eye about this story is that I had just finished reading his letter to the editor in the First Capitol News (winter's coming, save those so you can start your fireplaces!), in which he's complaining to the city that the trash trucks are scraping the asphalt on the street in front of his house. I suppose he feels this is unsightly, but not nearly as unsightly as these monstrous signs attached to his porch!
A recent trip past the now-infamous house on Perry Street in St. Charles suggests that Buehrle wants to create a demilitarized zone between the United States and Iraq by putting a line of claymores on the border.
Methinks he's been sniffing that magic marker a bit too much! Way to go, Joe!
Here is the link to the article.

Now, just when you think that one redneck in one community was enough -- our chihuahua attacker is back in the news!
Lisa Lynn Hopfer, 34, of Wentzville, hit the news a few months ago when she purchased a chihuahua puppy from a St. Peters woman. The poor pup died, as sometimes happens.
Instead of asking for a refund, or possibly a different pup from the litter, good old outstanding citizen Lisa goes to the home of the woman from which she bought the pooch, dead puppy in a bag, brandished her dead dog/weapon and hit the other woman over the head more than thirty times.
Hopfer ended up on probation for her "assault with a dead pup," and then ended up being found wandering around a cemetary in a stupor. Claiming that she was attacked, she filed (what turned out to be false) a police report, suggesting that the woman that sold her the dog had her attacked.
NOW, she has been arrested for shoplifting, along with a 17 year old accomplice. Here's the article.

Now, since I saw someone on St. Chuck Watch suggest there should be an actual award, I'm willing to take suggestions on what it should look like.
Feel free to leave me a message after the beep.
BEEP!!
