High-Class Readership of 'Hermann Hearsay'

Published by Clark Kant, Editor In Chief

It has been brought to my attention that lots of local celebrities and dignitaries read 'Hermann Hearsay'. Yes! I have been told that the #1 and #2 journalists in all of Gasconade County read 'HH' in order to get good ideas and inspiration for articles in their own publications. A well-connected source who shall remain nameless but whose code name is 'Daffy Duck' told me that there are even a number of well-known local government officials who read 'HH' everyday. The knowledge of this pleases us to no end! Apparently the budgets and capital spending plans for which these government officials are responsible and accountable are in great shape so that they have nothing better to do than spend their valuable time reading our articles. I hope doing so helps clear their minds and relax them so that they are better prepared to fulfull their important official public duties. Afterall, 'HH' is here to serve the local community!

In addition to the local celebrities and dignitaries who read 'HH', amazingly enough we also have a number of famous international figures who read our stuff almost daily. Can you believe it?! Our little local sometimes daily news blog?! Tony Blair (UK), Gordon Brown (UK), Paul McCartney (UK), Hugo Chavez (Venezuela) and Kim Jong Il (North Korea) are all loyal 'HH' readers!

We are thankful to all of our loyal readers ..... whether you are "high-class" or not!

A Sad Week for Missouri Sports Fans

Published by Jimmy Oldsin, Reporter In Training

Sports fans across the entire state have suffered through one of the worst weeks in Missouri sports history. At least this reporter cannot recall a week any worse than the one which we have just completed.

The week started out with our beloved Cards losing two NLDS games to the Dodgers out in Dodger Stadium. Then on Thursday night, the 24th ranked Missouri Tigers blew a lead over the 21st ranked Nebraska Cornhuskers in the 4th quarter on a rain-soaked Faurot Field. On Friday evening, the Dodgers completed their sweep over the Cardinals in a chilly Busch Stadium. The St. Louis Blues then lost their first hockey game of the season. The losing week from hell was capped off on Sunday afternoon by the St. Louis Rams' loss to the Minnesota Vikings and the Kansas City Chief's loss to the Dallas Cowboys. Even our Hermann Bearcats went down to defeat this past Friday .... but that was not much of a surprise.

Once again it looks like Missouri won't be playing for the National Championship, the Cards won't be in the World Series, and neither the Rams nor the Chiefs will make it to the Super Bowl. When does the tiddly wink season begin?!

Blue Sky Image In Header Not Copyrighted

Posted by Clark Kant, Editor In Chief

We here at 'Hermann Hearsay' have voluntarily agreed to change the image displayed as part of our blog header. We have found that a few people have taken exception to our use of the German School Museum image in our blog header. So, in order not to offend them or anyone else in the Hermann area, we have decided to remove it and replace it with a photo of the "Blue Sky Above Hermann". Our legal department informs us that no individual, organization, municipality, county, state or nation can claim the exclusive use copyright to an image of the blue sky above any residence, museum, business place, municipality, county or state. Relying upon our in-house legal advice, we are displaying an image of the "Blue Sky Above Hermann". We hope that our readers will enjoy a little "blue sky", and we hope that no one will take offense to our choice of this image for our blog.

Now, if you do take offense for some reason which I cannot possibly imagine, just give us a call, send us an email or submit a comment here on our blog and I'll have our customer service people jump right on the matter! We are here to make friends and serve our readers .... not to make enemies! I think you will find us very responsive to any complaints about our use of the clear "blue sky".
