There have been unconfirmed reports that the hostage situation is in the Governor Office Building in Jefferson City, which is a government building near the Governor’s Mansion, but fortunately it does not house the Governor. If it were housing the Governor then the hostage situation would have had been more critical.

Jefferson City Police have taken the help of Capitol Police, Highway Patrol, and the Sheriff’s Department in the possible hostage situation and all has surrounded the Governor Office Building at 200 Madison St.

The possible hostage situation might have been on the 5th floor, of the Governor Office Building, where a person said that there might be some hostages there. Helicopters are flying above the building, in a bid to nab the culprit. Sharp shooters are on the adjoining buildings as the police tries their best to nab the culprit.

KRCG’s crew at the scene reported that nearby businesses and shops have been closed down as a precautionary measure, as police try to assess the situation.

Dunn will be replaced by the deputy communications director, Dan Pfeiffer.

Dunn’s departure was expected; she came on board temporarily earlier this year when communications director Ellen Moran left for a more family-friendly position at the Department of Commerce. Dunn, who advised then-Sen. Obama during the campaign, always said she was here temporarily because she wants to spend more time with her teenage son.

Pfeiffer, a Georgetown alumnus from Delaware, originally worked for the presidential campaign of Sen. Evan Bayh, D-Ind, but became the Obama campaign communications director after Bayh dropped out. He has worked for former Senator Majority Leader Tom Daschle, D-SD, and Sen. Tim Johnson, D-SD, and is married to Sarah Feinberg, senior advisor to chief of staff Rahm Emanuel and a special assistant to the president.

There have been discussions at the White House about Dunn’s husband, Bob Bauer, replacing White House counsel Greg Craig. Today’s move presumably makes that switch more likely..

Bill Simmons Wife Picture

Bill Simmons Wife Picture: For those of who have seen his popularity swell into the stratosphere the last few years, it wasn’t a surprise to see Bill Simmons atop the bestseller list. But it should have been. Daulerio will never admit this, and I probably shouldn’t, but on January 23, 2003, we, along with fellow Black Table editor Eric Gillin, a Boston guy, stayed up to watch the debut of “The Jimmy Kimmel Show.” We did this solely because Bill Simmons was a writer for the show.

Bill Simmons Wife Picture:For those of who have seen his popularity swell into the stratosphere the last few years, it wasn’t a surprise to see Bill Simmons atop the bestseller list. But it should have been.

Daulerio will never admit this, and I probably shouldn’t, but on January 23, 2003, we, along with fellow Black Table editor Eric Gillin, a Boston guy, stayed up to watch the debut of “The Jimmy Kimmel Show.” We did this solely because Bill Simmons was a writer for the show. I’m not sure what we were expecting to see: Late-night talk shows aren’t in the habit of giving guest appearances to lower-tier writers in their first episodes. (The show was a mess: This is back when they were openly drinking on set, and it was chaos. I think at one point, Kimmel tried to deep fat fry a ventriloquist dummy while “guest” Adam Corolla plaintively attempted to remind a piss-drunk Kimmel that “YOU ARE ON TELEVISION RIGHT NOW.”) But it felt important somehow. A television show smart enough to hire Bill Simmons to write for them, well, that was something we couldn’t miss. We felt like we knew him.

It’s easy to forget this now, now that sports blogs are everywhere, now that Simmons is as much of an establishment figure as Chris Berman, now that the man produces his own television show, but back when he first came to ESPN, in 2001, he seemed like a revolutionary figure. I remember working in a doctor’s office in May 2001 and reading his Is Roger Clemens the Antichrist? column. (I was not familiar with his Boston Sports Guy work.) I couldn’t believe someone was getting away with this. Today, phrases like “kicked in the gonads,” “this was the musical equivalent of U2 asking for a contract extension from their record company on the heels of “Zooropa” and “Pop”)” and “looking like he was auditioning for the ‘Chris Farley Story’” are familiar Simmons tropes: Everyone writes like that now. But not in 2001. In 2001, Skip Bayless was the “hip” columnist at Page 2. The other column I vividly remember from the period was Simmons’ guide to the Atlanta Gold Club trial, which featured graphic descriptions of Patrick Ewing receiving oral sex from two women and this immortal aside:continue
