No more destination weddings in Missouri

Missouri has enacted a minimum age for marriage of 16, and they won't issue marriage licenses to people over 21 who want to marry minors. Apparently, Missouri was the place to go if a guy got his under-aged  girlfriend knocked up. Go to Missouri, get married, and the guy beats the rap on statutory rape.

All that is now past tense.

Trump won in 2016. Democrats haven't been so offended since Republicans came along and freed their slaves.

Bookings to Branson down by 50%
Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.
