Under the category of something the Post-Dispatch needs to cover:

Marth Brothers and Company, a company of four brothers, Michael, Val, Scott, and Jon Marth, are offering an alternative to a smoking ban in St. Louis by installing superior air filtration machines at St. Louis bars and restaurants. Their customers so far include Bar Napoli, The Country Club, The Double D Lounge, Three Monkeys and Peppertinis.

Scott Marth is asking the St. Louis press this question: “Why isn’t anybody talking about cleaning the air as an alternative to banning smoking?” According to Scott, “We have had bar owners tell us that their customers have gotten up to go outside to have a cigarette because they think the bar is non-smoking since the air is so clear. …shouldn’t this factor into the debate if both sides can be happy?”

Nick, hopefully he took Father’s Day off. Let me take a moment and wish all of you hard-working, loving fathers a Happy Father’s Day. The world is a better place because of you.

Nick, I slept late. Sorry. But keeping BUD in St. Louis is important too.

But hey, I don’t like to miss any free opportunity get information out and to push my freedom cause. I get no money out of my efforts and I am up against all these hired guns, especially these two kids with Smoke-Free St. Louis City:

I wonder what they each make a year?

There is so much talk surrounding debates/town hall meetings between the candidates of the two major parties……but nothing concerning the exclusion of 3rd party candidates from these.

Both Obama and McCain have stated their willingness to ‘allow’ this so where and when will this happen?

Congrats to the YD’s for their victory today. Also to Cool Down St. Louis for their win today with the fundraiser. I hope that we can put aside our differences and get together more often for things such as this.

Sure, Bill… I’d love to pay $7 a beer for other’s right to smoke. How much are these filtration devices? I’m sure the bar/restaurant owners will just eat the expense. It costs me nothing for someone to step outside and smoke.

Who does NBC get to to fill Tim’s shoes? And can they do better than The Price is Right in replacing their icon?

If it’s sunday, then lets talk smoke.

first father’s day without my father; and a son I dont have a enough relationship with it seems that he called me, even tho I try not to judge him and think, hope, that I always did my best to be a father to him; that his mother and I never married didnt help, but wont judge her either. I try never to judge anyhow badly except myself when I should have known better. Other than those things, father’s day going well for me.
