Quincy McGoo falls off barstool at The Barrel Bar!

Published by Jimmy Oldsun, NDRIRSRWRAFTC & Editor

THIS NEWS REPORT FILED IN JUST 2 MINUTES AFTER WE LEARNED ABOUT IT!  WE'RE FAST!  IN FACT, WE'RE FASTER THAN A SPEEDING BULLET ..... JUST LIKE SUPERMAN!


This happened just 2 minutes ago!  Why wait 22 minutes to see the story published by CNL or why wait a week later to see the same story in The Hermann A-C when you can read all about it here on Hermann Hearsay ..... 11 times faster! 

We don't know if it was really Mr. McGoo or not but we think it was.  Kinda looked like him anyway!  Bald head, a bit rotund and those unmistakeable squinty eyes!  If it wasn't Mr. McGoo, our apologies to him and his family.  We were rushing out the rear entrance to file our report so we couldn't confirm.  We don't know if Mr. McGoo broke his nose when he hit it on the bar during his fall ..... but let's just say he did!  Makes for a cool, salacious story!  We understand Mr. McGoo's wife wasn't called, because McGoo was pretty inebriated.  If she learns of his poor unfortunate drunken mishap by reading about it here on Hermann Hearsay before the police can contact her, we apologize!  We're just sooooo darned fast!  More important to be fast than considerate of the next of kin!  Well, we don't know if McGoo ultimately expired enroute to the hospital.  You see, in 2 minutes, we didn't have time to check into that aspect of the story! 

The important thing is that we're FAST!  AND WE'RE ALSO FULL OF ERRORS, LIES, HALF-TRUTHS, DISTORTIONS AND INNUENDOES!  You pretty much can't trust a word that we've published, but the important thing is that we're FAST!

BREAKING NEWS - Presiding Commissioner Jost Angrily Lashes Out At Attendee Of Today's County Commission Meeting

Published by Dick Schaefer, Unpaid, Part-time Contributing Writer and Amateur Investigative Reporter


"Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive."  ~ Sir Walter Scott

NOTE:  THIS IS A PRELIMINARY REPORT.  MORE TO COME AFTER WE REVIEW AVAILABLE AUDIO AND VIDEO RECORDINGS.

Two eyewitness sources called this morning to inform Hermann Hearsay that Presiding Commissioner Ron Jost angrily lashed out at Hermann Alderman John Penning, one of the attendees at this morning's Gasconade County Commission Meeting at the Courthouse.  Jost is reported to have jumped up from behind his desk as he then came out into the public seating area where the elderly John Penning was seated.  Jost towered over the seated Penning in an angry, threatening way.  At that point, Jost demanded that John Penning leave the meeting or he (Jost) would ask that the Sheriff have him removed.  Jost then declared the public portion of the meeting closed and cleared the meeting room of all attendees which included other citizens and members of the press.  At that point, the Commission went into a planned closed session meeting to receive a preliminary report from the state auditors.

Hermann Hearsay will be purchasing a copy of the video tape recorded by Charlie Brown today so that we can review the angry exchange between Ron Jost and John Penning.  We will also be reviewing an audio recording of the meeting made available to us by one of the meeting attendees.  We will report more details to you later this evening or tomorrow just as soon as we can sort through "who said what".

Note:  Jeff Noedel of CountyNewsLIVE.com posted an article on his "news" website just 22 minutes after the Commission Meeting abruptly ended.  In his article, Noedel "spins" the story to his own personal suiting.  Noedel published his "preliminary teaser report" in such a way as to make it appear that both John Penning and Matt Penning were the villains in this morning's meeting.  Noedel has thus far not reported very much about what led to this incident which was something that occurred at last Thursday's Road Department meeting.  We will be monitoring CNL's "reporting" on this story.  The question is ... Will it be another one of those secret hidden postings available to paid subscribers only?  Or will Noedel publish his report for all the world to see?

Anyone in Hermann who has cable TV should make plans to watch or record the video tape broadcast of this morning's County Commission Meeting which will be aired tomorrow (Friday) on the City of Hermann's public channel.  This morning's County Commission meeting was apparently very exciting, but it was also extremely disfunctional ..... just as so many of them have previously been !

Once again, we have further undeniable, graphic, video-recorded proof that Ron Jost is neither intellectually nor tempermentally fit to lead this county.  And with the latest reporting by Jeff Noedel, we see that no matter what the substance of the wrong-doing or unprofessional conduct by Jerry Lairmore or Ron Jost, the reporting by CNL is always spun so that the blame is cast upon someone else.  This morning, it just happened to be the elderly father of Matt Penning who got "thrown under the bus" so Lairmore and Jost could be protected.

During this morning's meeting, John Penning, a Hermann Alderman, confronted Jerry Lairmore about calling his son a "lieing son-of-a-bitch" at last Thursday's Road Department meeting in the presence of Presiding Commissioner Jost (who did absolutely nothing to stop it) and three county employees.  Amazingly, Noedel has found a way to make the story about John Penning telling Jost to "shut up" and Matt Penning's efforts to bring the county' tire purchasing problems to light rather than to make the story about the gross unprofessionalism of Jerry Lairmore and the failure by Ron Jost to maintain decorum at the County's Road Department Meetings.

Ain't it interesting that Presiding Commissioner Ron Jost managed to find the intestinal fortitude to confront citizen John Penning for "being out of line" during this morning's meeting but could not find that same intestinal fortitude to confront Southern District Associate Commissioner Jerry Lairmore exactly one week ago for "being out of line" for badgering, brow-beating and calling his colleague a "lieing son-of-a-bitch"?  Double standard, Mr. Jost?

Photo Of The Day - Thursday, 7/29/2010

Published by Lois Lame, SSALRCYTMVDQJCP & Assistant Editor

A. E. Newman, owner and operator of 'Mid-Missouri Mule Rides' near Bland, MO, snapped a photo of one of the female horseflies abundant on his mule farm.  See photo below.  We asked Newman if these large flies should more properly be called muleflies, but he insisted that they be called horseflies so as not to bring disrepute upon his mules.


Horsefly - Any member of the dipteran genus Tabanus or, more generally, of the family Tabanidae. These stout flies range from as small as a housefly to as large as a bumblebee. Sometimes called greenheaded monsters, horseflies have metallic or iridescent eyes. Adults are fast, strong fliers usually found around streams, marshes, and wooded areas. They may carry animal diseases, including anthrax, tularemia, and trypanosomiasis. The bites of the bloodsucking females can be painful, and a swarm may suck more than 3 oz (about 90 ml) of blood a day from an animal. Males feed on nectar, honeydew, and plant sap. Horseflies of the genus Chrysops, usually called deerflies, are smaller and have dark markings on the wings.
