Sadly, This Too Was An Incomplete Pass.

Here is a photo, courtesy of the Star (which totally owns it), of Matt Cassel — that lackluster Chiefs QB whose rating on Sunday was an astonishing 14.2 — visiting Oak Hill Elementary in OP, where he chatted with the kids and, somehow, managed to throw an interception to a Broncos defensive back.

Local Liberty-Lovers Lap Libations At Levee Tonight

Hey, are you looking to meet fellow aficionados of liberty? You know, that nebulous term that’s bandied about these days whenever anyone mentions that socialist in the White House? You are in luck, amigo: tonight you can drop by the Levee and meet other people who love liberty — maybe even single people! Do I hear wedding bells? Or is that just the Liberty Bell!?! U-S-A!

Sad news for amateur punsters: Houston Nutt is staying in the South.

Local Woman Attends Larry David School Of Self-Defense

How does one fend off a home intruder? Sure, there’s the whole “reach for a fake gun” thing, and the ever-popular “call the police” nonsense. But when your safety is on the line, do what any paranoid misanthrope would do: have yourself a nice fake heart attack.

In Which Rod Jetton Decides To End His Career

Oh, Rod. What could you possibly have been thinking? There you were, the ex-speaker and cherubic, baby-faced darling of the Missouri right wing. You had money. Clout. The ears of influential people. And you threw it all away for some ill-advised S&M action. Tut, tut.

Nutt-To-KU Rumor Creates Star Comment Punapalooza

Say, have you heard that Ole Miss football coach Houston Nutt might be KU’s next football coach? The local media has, even though the Sun Herald — representing something called “Biloxi-Gulfport and South Mississippi” refutes the story. Homers! In any event, the story is a gift for those most talented of local jokemakers: Star commenters. The comedy experts didn’t waste a second in breaking out their best stuff.

Whitlock Dares City To Ask For Race-Charged Bloviation

This is a screenshot from Jason Whitlock’s Twitter feed. So… can we handle the horrible extrapolation and nonsensical race-baiting truth? Can we?!?

Well, coming on the heels of that giant spread and everything… this ought to be intriguing.

Jason Noble: Forever Foe Of Hypocrisy

Prime Buzz, the Star’s online haven for all things political, has seen its own Jason Noble become the newest darling of Kansas City’s left by noting the utter hypocrisy of local political consultant and non-photogenic man Jeff Roe. Jeff posted a little item on his blog about kidnapper Kay Barnes moving out of tony Briarcliff. Funny, then, that Jeff protested when Prime Buzz did the same thing to him. Ah, sweet irony.

Roe is well-known around town for his occasionally sharp-elbowed political maneuvering and for running Axiom Strategies, but to us he’ll always be the guy from the BlackBerry endorsement. Good work, Jason Noble, in calling them as you see them.

Tom Ryan makes a plea for politeness in the comments. We understand and applaud. But how about a plea for sensible political arguments?
