Everybody sent this to me at the same time (THANK YOU). . . KC Media picked it up too!!!
It's nice to see the learning curve of the first couple hasn't changed at all. Here's the latest press release from a Coyote Wisdom website!!! WTF?
The note starts off:
Brule Native American Concert LIVE
and Coyote Wisdom Workshop:
Native American Techniques for Healing
Body, Mind and Spirit
Hosted by KC Mayor Mark Funkhouser
and Coyote Wisdom Workshop:
Native American Techniques for Healing

Hosted by KC Mayor Mark Funkhouser
It gets worse.
Check it:
Kansas City Mayor Mark Funkhouser and his wife Gloria are bringing you an amazing inspirational weekend workshop presented by Native American healer, shaman, physician and author, Lewis Mehl-Madrona. The Native American music phenomenon Brule and AIRO (American Indian Rock Opera) will kick off the weekend Friday evening with a wonderful concert at Unity Temple on the Plaza.
Somehow, this seems even creepier than their rumored pagan roots!!!
Also, TKC knew their anti-Mexican stance was popular but I don't know how effective it is to run on a mysticism platform.
On a personal note, I hate walking away from the blog on 13 posts but the Mayor's earth worshiping ways make me realize that I need to abandon my superstitions.
Your mileage may vary on this one . . . And while most may want to turn this into a debate among healthy people about the merits of (silly) atheism . . . TKC has to side with major organized religions who don't try to cure cancer with crystals or dream catchers.
Natch.
It it ever going to stop with these two?
ReplyDeleteThe concert/workshop is:

This thing stops just short of using City Hall letterhead. Is it ethical for an elected officials to use their official titles in promoting a private event particularly when it's a for-profit event (as opposed to a political fund-raiser or charitable organization event)?
I DO NOT KNOW WHAT THEY ARE THINKING. I'VE ALREADY HEARD THE DEFENSE AND I DON'T BUY IT. THEY'RE SAYING THIS IS A MULTI-CULTURAL EVENT AND THIS IS THE MAYOR REACHING OUT. THAT'S JUST BULLSHIT, THIS IS THE KIND OF THING THAT JUST KEEPS MAKING MARK LOOK BAD AND I'M GETTING TIRED OF CONSTANTLY DEFENDING HIM TO MY FRIENDS.
ReplyDeleteI'M REACHING MY LIMITS WITH THESE TWO. ALL OF THESE EMBARRASSMENTS ARE TOO MUCH EVEN FOR A NEW MAYOR. IT'S EVEN WORSE WHEN THEY TRY AND CRITICIZE ME WHO HAS SUPPORTED THEM AT EVERY LEVEL. LISTEN TO YOUR SUPPORTERS MARK AND GLORIA AND STOP MAKING DUMB MISTAKES.
Recall them now!
ReplyDeleteOkay orange-y, just breathe.
ReplyDeleteThis is nothing you haven't seen or heard before.
Just remember that none of this is your fault. You don't owe anybody an explanation. You voted for a former City Auditor that promised to be smart with the money. Nobody knew about his crazy wife or their mother earth loving ways.
Oh my gosh. Why would he even think of doing this.
ReplyDelete$10 says that he'll disavow the whole thing by this afternoon. It is a bit embarrasing but nothing to stir so much panic orange girl. Stop shouting.
Nothing wrong with Loving the earth Nothing wrong with back to the earth mother religion, Nothing wrong with shaman or mysticism.
ReplyDeleteBut for a public servant to use or lend their name to such is again misusing the office.
Would you like a Baptist revival being presented by the Mayor. Well maybe someone should ask him if he is open minded enough to sponsor a Baptist Revival,
So the question is, are you going Tony?
ReplyDeleteMe say, lady from the city by the river must wear her shoes.
ReplyDeleteAnd how.
Ha Ha. Funny Tony. You're a d-bag.
ReplyDeleteI want to go! I will sit at squits feet and learn her ways! I can't wait to absorb her wisdom. And to meet d'funk't in person will be a truly awesome experience!
ReplyDeleteHow blessed we are that squit's "calling to serve her husband" has opened up this opportunity to mine their secrets of success. They are a role model of health, vigor and experience.
Now I see why they did not have time to answer the EEOC lawsuit... they were channeling past spiritual leaders in preparation for this city event. Good Move.. Time Well Spent.
Nepotism Now!
Hey Dottie, will you suspend your current activity of spying on fellow staff members and attend?
ReplyDeleteI wonder if they are getting a fee for promoting this event? Anyone ask them?
ReplyDeleteJust when you're sure it can't get any more bizarre or weird, it does.
ReplyDeleteI mean, you can't make this shit up.
Funk and Squits get paid at every pass, the number of instances are mind boggling.
ReplyDelete4:14 is right.
ReplyDeleteYou can't make this shit up.
I hear Gloria keeps crystals in the mayor's office.
ReplyDeleteKeeps crystals? Hell, it sounds like she's snorting crystal. Has little Andrew checked his stash lately to see if Mommie Weirdest has been rummaging through it?
ReplyDeleteMaybe if Funk was man enough to teach his kids how to do chores around the house we wouldn't have to read her snarky newsletters about how Funk is too busy with his stressful job to change the lighbulbs in their house.
ReplyDeleteIn Chicago..Multi-Cultural event means its a ghey event.
ReplyDeleteIf I were a journalist here are some big questions I’d want to answer through a little bit of research:
ReplyDelete1. What did Funks receive in return for use of their campaign mailing list?
2. Who is Dancing on the Edge Adventures LLC, what do they do, and how do they benefit from this concert/lecture?
3. What do the contracts with the artists/speaker look like? Are they being paid up front, is there a possibility that there could be a dispute over the amount they are owed, AND if there is such a dispute, can the artists/speaker sue the city through the Mayor's Office for any alleged underpayments?
4. What other liabilities is the city exposed to by the Mayor’s Office presenting/hosting this event?
4. Is the Mayor's Office putting any money up for this fiasco?
5. Are the Funks going to try to use the proceeds as some type of legal defense fund since the city has limited its exposure to the EEOC suit?
Don't be too critical folks I think the Funks have realized that only a shaman can save their fannies.
ReplyDeletethey need a witch doctor! there is no settlement!!!!!!
