Coomer says the hurled hotdog caused a detached retina and development of cataracts in his left eye. The Royals declined to comment on the fired frank.

Secretary of State Robin Carhanan, a Democrat, says Missourians are ready for a change. Republican Congressman Roy Blunt, who represents Southwest Missouri, says he’s already been campaigning for months, talking to the people. He says the main topic has been jobs. In the upcoming primary, Blunt faces newcomer Chuck Purgason, a Republican State Senator from Caulfield, who says he stands out in this race as the underdog, but also as one who comes from the people and understands their wants and needs.
