Readers might remember back in January I poked fun at a Missouri state representative for drafting legislation to prevent unmanned aerial aircraft from patrolling Missouri skies. The Associated Press reported that State Rep. Casey Guernsey, R-Bethany, “said widespread use of drones flying above Missouri scares him.”
The reason why I caught the Guernsey drone story is he represented the northern Missouri area where I lived many years ago.
After reading about Guernsey and the drones, I suggested he stay in his basement or build an underground bunker.
Apparently Guernsey is so afraid of those drones that he supposedly drives a black Hummer. I wonder what weaponry he carries in the Hummer.
In Missouri, besides being paid about $36K a year for part-time work, state representatives are Very Important People (VIP) so they can get license plates for their vehicles with “Representative” on them and their district number. I guess it kind of lets people know when VIPs are approaching. It also lets other drivers know when a VIP cuts them off in traffic, like Donald Dupske, who “is a 77-year-old retiree from McDonnell Douglas and a proud Mizzou alum” whom Guernsey supposedly cut off in traffic after a Mizzou football game.
