      The Riverfront Times was founded in 1977 as St. Louis’s alternative newsweekly. Since then, we’ve cultivated an audited weekly circulation of 55,000. Because of the pass-along nature of the RFT, our weekly reach is near 200,000 readers.

        Ah so sort of like a slightly more journalistic version of The Pitch from the KC area. Which is not to cast shade on either.

    I cannot believe I’m the first here to point out that the guy’s name just happens to be McClanahan. Did I just eat the Onion??

    “I wasn’t actually in the KKK, they just really liked me” is not the argument he thinks it is.

    You don’t get even a “honorary” membership just so. There is a reason he got that membership, and that should disqualify him from any office.

      Wrong guy.

      Those revelations came to light last night when former Missouri Representative Shamed Dogan (R-Ballwin) tweeted out a screenshot showing the unofficial candidate filing list for governor posted to the Secretary of State’s website. On it, Darrell Leon McClanahan III’s name sits atop more well-known GOP contenders like Mike Kehoe and Jay Ashcroft.
