Sure, everyone’s making fun of and pillorying Sarah Palin and her recent bildungsroman. But she deflects all the criticisms of the media elite, remember? Bad news for her, then: the everyday voice of young, hip Kansas City is taking her down. So long, 2012.

Ink’s ‘Frink’ Panel Still Answering The City’s Most Pressing Questions With Glib, Canned Responses
Posted in Environment, Ink, Local Journalism, tagged Captain Fauxhawk, Frink Panel, Vegetarianism on November 10, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Perhaps you’re aware that Ink, this city’s sassiest weekly, long ago convened a panel of KC’s young intelligentsia (a group from which we were excluded, despite much pretend-lobbying). Hard to believe, but the mini-RAND keeps on truckin’, addressing everything from Obama’s Nobel Prize to, uh, hypothetical vegetarianism. It’s the lord’s work.

Ed. note: to celebrate our final week, we’re taking a look back at some of our most frequently covered topics.
There are a lot of things we’re going to miss about running this site. But to be totally honest, we might miss Paulie the most. For those who don’t recall the early days of SOTL, Paulie [...]

Posted in Comedy, Ink, Local Journalism, Romance on February 10, 2009 | 1 Comment »
It’s the best part of the week: when KC’s Most Important Social Networkingish “Media” Site posts the latest installment of the “frink” panel, that group of young, hip Kansas Citians whose opinions are more important than yours. The topic this week? Valentine’s Day: Have “frink” panelists’ plans changed because of the recession? Well, it’s hard [...]

Sad news from Ink World today: fitness writer and headband-wearer Cherryh A. Butler appears to have departed. Look, for as much as this site makes fun of the local lifestyle magazine, we don’t like to see anyone lose a job. We don’t greet this news with any kind of nemesis-ian glee; it mostly just makes [...]
Ink’s ‘Frink’ Panel Oddly Fixated On Blagojevich
Posted in Fashion, Ink, Local Journalism, Star on February 3, 2009 | 1 Comment »
This week, the “frink” panel at KC’s Most Important Social Networkingish “Media” Site takes on the outcome of the Illinois impeachment trial. Now, I know what you’re thinking: the “frink” panel already talked about that little flap. And you’re right, they did. So perhaps you’re asking why, with so much going on in the news, [...]
Professional Antifunny Person Michael Gomez Hits Ink World With Comedy Equivalent Of Ten-Car Freeway Pileup
Posted in Comedy, Ink, Local Journalism, Politics, Sadness on January 21, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Local “comedian” and (of course) “frink” Michael Gomez has some thoughts on the inauguration. Lucky us. Now, as we’ve noted, Michael Gomez tends to traffic in what we have to call antifunny material. Because, you see, it goes way, way beyond being merely unfunny. What he writes is actually diametrically opposed to comedy. He is [...]
Latest ‘Frink’ Panel Question Serves Little Purpose Other Than Illustrating All Sorts Of Truths About Panelists

Hey, it’s “frink” panel time again! You know the panel, right? The group of hip, young Kansas Citians who will provide much-needed diversity in media perspective? Or, you know, make rape jokes? Either way. The panel is back and better than ever. This week the members tackle this brain-buster from the staff of Kansas City’s [...]
Anxious Senate Finally Receives Sage Advice Of Frink Panel

Phew. Breathe easy, America. Our long national nightmare may finally be drawing to an end. Yes, we’ve all been on edge the last couple of weeks as we watched the U.S. Senate decide whether or not to seat Roland Burris, the somewhat goofy would-be Illinois senator who was chosen by hair model Rod Blagofieajmcnceq to [...]
BREAKING: Our Silver-Haired Friend Rides Again
Posted in Awesomeness, Ink, Paulie on January 15, 2009 | 6 Comments »
This is a bright day for Kansas City. Regular readers will recall how depressed we were when we lost the regular contributions of Paulie, the elder statesman of Ink. The local online world has been a bit duller since his thoughts on love, life, and the Voodoo Lounge ceased to grace that site. Well, take [...]
