Just got back from City Hall.
Saundra Ross was giving interviews to reporters, she'll be all over the news tonight.
What I hope is that Kansas City will see that she's a very sincere, faithful and soft spoken woman . . . The media depiction of her by so Kansas City reactionaries is not only unfair but also yet another sign of how spiteful and bigoted the political discourse in Kansas City has become . . . And this blog is one of the few media outlets that poses a direct challenge to that kind of hatred, name calling and use of the"politics of personal destruction" . . . By using the same tactics in return. Natch. Also, I like local bloggers and photos of doors not just bikini pics.
Anyhoo, as the mini-press conference was over I helped Ms. Ross carry the petitions back to her car. She seemed hopeful, she smiled and the sun shined a little brighter on the streets of downtown Kansas City as if to provide a glimmer of hope that there is still a place for grassroots democratic action in this town despite our low voter turnout, dominance of political voting blocs and the divisive political atmosphere that looms over the city.
As you can see, I took a few petitions with me. I know a great many people who are desperate to sign their name.
Unbelievably, on our way out of the City Clerk's office, as the elevator to the 25th floor opened Mayor Mark Funkhouser exited the door standing alone. He nodded hello, said "Hi folks" and walked past, he saw me carrying the box of petitions and Ms. Ross with several more in hand. He did a double take, he realized who we were . . . The smile quickly left the Mayor's face as he shot a sideways glance while moving quickly down the hall.
It was a surreal moment but one that tells me that this recall effort is a lot more substantial than what has been depicted by the media.
One year ago, there was talk of a movement to incite regular folks to action, a political platform that spoke of empowering "regular folks" to play a more active role in City Government . . . The Administration of Mayor Mark Funkhouser never lived up to that promise but the grassroots, politically inexperienced and heartfelt action by Ms. Ross today represents a more accurate embodiment of that sentiment.
Wow, how totally SURREAL.
ReplyDeleteSista's doin' it for THEY-selves!!!!!
ReplyDeleteMMMmmm, child!
We gonna recall dat Funky!!
Total Recall was Arnold's best movie. Midget freaks, Sharon Stone, 3 titted women, and a Quatto growing out of someone's stomach was awesome.
ReplyDeleteOh we are talking about mayorial recall! She'll be lucky to get half the signatures.
Unless there is a dead hooker in someone's bed they shouldn't be recalled after 9 months. Not taking to 'black leaders' about TIF isn't a recallable offense in the minds of rational, non-sour grapes Kansas Citians.
GET YOUR ASS TO MARS!
TKC....Please tell us How/Where/When we can sign the petition.
ReplyDeleteGoing to be funny as hell watching you Funk haters kiss the ground on this one also.
ReplyDeleteHysterical is probably a better choice of nomenclature.
This couldn't be a more futile exercise. Good luck bozos, and I don't even like the Funkinator!
ReplyDeleteSoul sisters didn't even know the damn rules on filing the petition.
ReplyDeleteYeah, this one is going places.
Tony: Where can we find Ms Ross or somewhere in town that is gathering signatures?
ReplyDeleteMs Ross should consider organizing some folks to stand outside polling places next Tuesday to collect signatures - those going in & out are certain to be registered KC voters. Maybe the polling places on the westside and within the 3rd & 5th Districts. Please pass this info onto Ms Ross team.
Tony, after you were done hitting on her did she tell you what grade Funk gave her in his class?
ReplyDeleteBased on her grammatical skills it sounds like anything higher than a D was gift.
First of all, I have to admit that this blog does a good service. It's the best way for retards to express themselves. And if at first retards don't suceed, try, try again.
ReplyDeleteAs for Mayor Funkhouser not living up to his campaign promises. How do expect anyone to be able to run the city when he has to defend every decision he makes. It's idiots like this "Retard 5" that are consuming all his energy. How can he make any changes when he has to battle retards all the time.
You are only siding with these whiners because they are anti-white. You are anti-white. You continue to knock Funkhouser, and have said not one word about Wayne "The Crook" Cauthen who is ripping of the taxpayers. Why do you continue to dodge the real issues instead of trumpt up charges from a bunch of Retards who haven't taken time to #1) Register to vote to make a difference. Oh that's right, when you're conficted of a crime you lose your right to vote. You say Saundra Ross is a very sincere soft spoken women. Whatever! I'm sure you couldn't wait for Funk to get on down the hall so you can bang this nappy headed ho in the elevator. Oh... strike through that... (Tony's little trick) I mean engage in meaningful conversation with this delightful lady who doesn't know how to spell her way out of a wet paper bag.
Let's see you throw some stones at Wayne Cauthen. If you can't come up with one bad thing to say about Wayne than you have no credibility what so ever... You are nothing more than a hater of whites.
Maybe you can take some tips from the Save Bannister Mall people. That seems to be the direction this Girl Scout recall project is headed.
ReplyDeleteMayor Funky realizing who you were and the grin quickly leaving the Mayor's face was so funny that I almost pissed myself! LOL
ReplyDeleteRight I'm sure Funk was overwhelmed when he looked down and realized Tony the Great was in his presence.
ReplyDeleteOf course exaggeration is Tony's specialty. Like most certifiably insane people.
More than 200 march protest Minutemen conference. The Kansas City Star
ReplyDeleteOh Man what an overwhelming majority!
200 People!
ROFLMAO
Tony I thought you said Saundra would be all over the news tonight?
ReplyDeleteLOL
Glad your not my financial adviser.
I'm sure Funky was quite literally shitting his pants and the realization of meeting TKC in the flesh.
ReplyDeleteThat is the funniest thing to ever be posted here.
It is Bunker Funkhouser v. Regular Folks.
ReplyDeleteHe loses either way.
I seriously doubt that you know more than 5 people who CAN sign their name.. Idiotic petition going nowhere. You, sir, do less for racial harmony that George Wallace... and I don't mean the comedian.
ReplyDeleteFunkhouser was probably thinking after the double take is "Poor Rita".
ReplyDeleteNiggers, dumb spics, and guilty white liberals "engaging" in government -what a waste of time and resources.
ReplyDeleteTony, you disappoint me.
ReplyDeleteYou were right there, face to face with Mayor Funkhouser and you didn't even bother to ask him about the $80k?
Cat got your tongue?
EW. Jay. Best change your profile pic to someone else's photo. ANYONE's.
ReplyDeleteXO: perhaps the reality is that it never happened. Perhaps its all a fabrication.
ReplyDeleteThat's option one.
Option 2 is that Tony pussed out.
I don't think Tony was there. All talk.
ReplyDeleteI don't think Tony was there. All talk.
ReplyDeleteTony is telling the truth regarding his run-in with Funkhouser.
ReplyDeleteFunkhouser's camp has been filing a bunch of amended reports to explain the $80k. It appears that the explanation will be that they never had the money to begin with. In other words, his explanation is that they were incompetent all along.
Although that will make the issue of missing money go away, I have to wonder if this doesn't open some ethical issues. Unless people go back and examine year old records, we really won't know what impact his adds, polling, and robo-calls had on the election. Also, if I remember correctly, he was always prompt to file his reports so that he bolster his message of transparency. Now we find out that all of the reports were wrong. How long did he know that the reports were wrong?
Thank you, anonymous. Your substance-free affrmation of a Tony wet dream fantasy encounter was both compelling and forceful in providing a backing of this story. Now I am fully convinced. Can you tell me what happened to the Lindberg baby?
