As a communications professional... this is some of the finest work you will ever see.

[Auditor Scott Fitzpatrick @Auditor_Fitz]

In an effort to place more attention on the work done by his office and reduce confusion among members of the media who struggle to correctly identify him, the Missouri State Auditor announced today he will now be known simply as Fitz. The auditor formerly known as Scott Fitzpatrick said the change is necessary in large part because reporters from all parts of the state have regularly struggled to correctly pronounce his name beyond Fitz, commonly misidentifying him as Scott Fitzgerald.

"I have immense respect for the work the members of the media do to cover our audits and investigations, but it has become abundantly clear that correctly identifying me as Auditor Fitzpatrick is something that gives them fits. The switch to Fitz will allow me to spend less time correcting misprints and more time holding government accountable for every tax dollar," said Fitz.

With the passage of HB 2111, citizens of Missouri are one step closer to living in a galaxy of increased transparency and accountability.

Today, the most important news is this:
It's Draft Day!

Someone out there is living their best life. All I can say is how proud I am that some clever Fox has made better use of the Star Wars intro than the past movies made in this millennia.

[Auditor Scott Fitzpatrick @Auditor_Fitz]

As his relentless fight against waste, fraud, and abuse continues, Auditor Fitzpatrick seeks the aid of legislators to empower his office to shine the light of transparency on the darkest recesses of government that can serve as a breeding ground for wrongdoing. #moleg

flag-worthy gamesmanship

[Benjamin D. Peters @BenjaminDPeters]

Hey @nfl, what’s the protocol on a player faking an injury to allow substitutions on the field? Pretty sure that’s not allowed, but it just happened in the @Chiefs and @Bengals game.

[Benjamin D. Peters @BenjaminDPeters]

Guys. You gotta watch the latest @newheightshow with @PatrickMahomes. @tkelce and @JasonKelce are already hilarious but this is perfection. #ChiefsKingdom

@JasonKelce @CheckersRallys @Arbys @ChickfilA @shakeshack @Wendys @McDonalds Kinda agree - @McDonalds fries are supposed to be golden brown, salty, crispy and delicious. It seems like every time I go, I get soggy white fries that aren't salted. Like... just leave it in the fryer a little longer.
