It hasn’t been the smoothest of terms for KC Mayor Mark Funkhouser. As unfair as some of the criticism has been, you have to fault the guy for bringing at least some of it on himself. But hey: it’s probably not easy being the mayor of a post-industrial city with a variety of entrenched interests [...]

Hey, remember the non-housekeeping mother whose kids were taken away yesterday? A commenter named “unhappy mama” purports to be none other than the mother in question, and she has some harsh words for her detractors.
Checking In With Paulie
Posted in Ink, Paulie, Romance on July 30, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Alright, so we have to admit that in the few months since Ink leaped ignominiously onto the front lines of KC media, we’ve developed a weird fascination with Paulie, the gray-haired Ink “frink” who appears to be one of the site’s most active users.

Today’s Star finds the Sprint Center, downtown’s own crystalline and tire-esque arena, crowing about huge financial windfalls and an enviable ranking in something called Pollstar, which is apparently a “respected national trade publication.” Good for downtown, sure, but aren’t we forgetting something?

Arizona senator and proud old person John McCain brings his foundering campaign to our humble city today, where he and Cindy will host a fundraiser at the Hyatt. His last visit occurred just under two weeks ago, so you can see how important he considers Missouri to be. More importantly, though, his visit gives us [...]

Posted in Religion on July 30, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
It isn’t often that one gets to witness the miraculous arrival of Jesus in one’s hometown. Consider yourself lucky, then, that the king of kings has chosen our very own Midwestern hamlet as the site for his second coming. That’s right: Jesus has returned to earth in the form of a dark t-shirt haphazardly tossed [...]
