I’m scheduled to be a guest on “Collateral Damage” tonight with hosts D.J. Wilson and Fred Hessel and Steve Patterson of Urban Review STL. The show starts at 7:00 and can be heard on KDHX 88.1 FM or online at www.kdhx.org.
With Election Day tomorrow, the likely topics of discussion will be the race for Aldermanic President and the various contested ward races — Oh, and how annoying anonymous blog commenters can be.

I love anonymous blog commenters, especially those on your site! See you tonight!

WHERE IS THE 21st WARD DEM ORG CAMPAIGN FINANCE DISCLOSURE?
You have time to make slanderous posts, but you can’t fill out your disclosure?
Shame on you, Antonio. Enough of part-time Antonio. Pub Def needs a real public defender. This is a full-time blog with full-time issues.

who will be on the show tonight to balance out the pro-reed slant?
March 5th, 2007 at 11:40 am
“who will be on the show tonight to balance out the pro-reed slant?”
That would be me, Steve Patterson of UrbanReviewSTL. I’ve endorsed Shrewsbury for the Presidents race and I’ve endorsed Saller in the 6th ward.

Oh, how I do love ignorant anonymous commenters.
Mr. or Ms. Anonymous, the 21st Ward Regular Democratic Organization did not receive nor make any contributions during the period which would require an 8-Day report. So we will be filing our next report on April 15, as is required. You will just have to wait till then.
March 5th, 2007 at 12:18 pm
Thanks for finally responding, Antonio.
Someone handed me one of your advertisements at the debate on the 25th, 10 days before the primary.

What does the statement shown above mean to you Antonio French? I will listen to the show tonight. Please explain to the few thousand listeners what it means and what if you are going to discuss the recent contributions to your man, Mr. Reed.
March 5th, 2007 at 1:57 pm
Better read those regs again Antonio, they refer to contributions and EXPENDITURES, not just contributions. You seem to be in violation.
March 5th, 2007 at 2:42 pm
Thank you all for the bookkeeping advice. But FYI: that flier you received last week was actually paid for just today, around noon actually. Keep fishin’.
March 5th, 2007 at 3:04 pm
So Shrewsbury should have waited until today to pay for that media buy that you were complaining about. That’s what you are saying? You advocate dishonest reporting basically.
Where is your October Quarterly report from 2006 for the 21st Ward? According to the last $ amount you submitted, back in April of 2005, your committee had $644.51 on hand. Since then you have shown no contributions.
Seems fishy, like you said.
March 5th, 2007 at 3:27 pm
I am hoping they ask you if you think school board members ever make anonymous posts.
I do not know how you would answer, but i would be interested in hearing.
March 5th, 2007 at 3:40 pm
Anonymous, shouldn’t you be out knocking on some doors if you hope to win an election tomorrow?
March 5th, 2007 at 3:45 pm
I am not running for an office, Antonio, but if I was, I would take your advice.
March 5th, 2007 at 6:25 pm
Antonio,don’t sweat these haters,they are upset their boy Shrewsbury is about to be bounced out of office and are depressed,so they have to strike out at someone!
March 5th, 2007 at 6:55 pm
it’s not just contributions, it’s expenditures, whether paid for or not; anyone knows that!
if not paid for has to be reported and listed as a debt; if not $500, then maybe an exemption may be filed; that’s my understanding; may be in violation?
March 5th, 2007 at 7:55 pm
star jones - what are you smoking? I’d like some. sounds like good stuff.
March 5th, 2007 at 11:59 pm
star jones is generally smoking something and I think it hate hash. She sounds like a big fat large committee woman. French you have always had an attitude problem. Can’t take the heat. Get those reports out dude and stop trying to play as if you know politics. Reed had a chance until French screwed him up.
March 6th, 2007 at 7:14 am
now, now, it wasn’t French that screwed Reed. I disagree with a lot of what French has done and said, to be sure, but Reed has been let down by the very people that encouraged him to run, promised to back him, then slipped into the shadows to let him die a very public political death.
March 6th, 2007 at 8:31 am
Hi Antonio,
We listened to you and Steve on the radio last night. Great show!
It sounded like you were as confused as we were about Patterson’s analysis that Shrewsbury deserves the credit for allowing Darlene to negotiate a better deal with BJC.
Steve needs to explain that to all those “Save Our Park” voters for Shrewsbury.
March 6th, 2007 at 10:12 pm
To the anonymous posters that made an inquiry as to “what I was smoking?”, the answer is Winners Gold,since my candidate Lewis Reed won the election!Ha Ha HeHe!you haters need to sit down and STFU!
