The campaign website for Dave Spence, a Republican candidate for governor of Missouri, says he "earned a degree in Economics" from the University of Missouri.
Well not exactly! Oops, Spence forgot to insert one little word - Home – in describing the degree he earned. His degree is actually in Home Economics, not in Economics. So Spence got a degree in baking cookies, rather than one that could help him to grapple with Missouri’s economic problems.
On Monday, Spence told the media that, while at Mizzou, his grades did not meet the threshold to enter the Business School. So he chose a different academic path that would allow him to graduate on time.
"I was not the greatest student in the world," Spence said. "I'll make fun of myself: I was a 60-watt bulb in a 100-watt society.
Now I am sure that the failure to insert the word ‘home’ was just an inadvertent little omission and that candidate Spence had absolutely no intention of deceiving the voters of Missouri.
If Spence succeeds in becoming governor of Missouri, his degree should enable him to serve his constituents freshly baked cookies.

There are worse things to recommend a politician to his constituents.
