Tony’s Kansas City

This extended party weekend make it evident that there are too many entertainment districts in this town.
Prove me wrong . . . I went by Westport this afternoon and it’s pretty much empty, then again it’s not like the P&L District was teeming with people either . . . Maybe it’s a classic Kansas [...]

Local blogger Erin probably had a better time than you today . . . She’s also, better looking . . . Probably a better person . . . You better hide in a basement and avoid making direct eye contact with anyone.

I’m sad to learn that Kansas City radio host Dave Munday recently passed away . . . Local radio blogger Ken has a very kind and informative tribute on his blog.
Here’s a comment thread on the subject from KC Talk as well.

Scooter has an informative post about Big 12 visitors and their perspective on Kansas City.
The two biggest complaints:
1. This town’s public transportation sucks.
2. There’s not much to do but drink and eat.
Overall, it’s a pretty great glance about how tourists see this city. However, Scooter makes some pretty optimistic generalizations about parking [...]

Here’s the sad truth: Whenever the Kansas City blogosphere unanimously supports a candidate, the rest of the electorate would do well to become just a little bit suspicious.
Unfortunately, TKC was the first media outlet to bring news about the canidacy of Airick Leonard West and now it seems that the bandwagon is about to [...]

A 31-year-old woman claims her estranged boyfriend shot her in the leg inside a Lee’s Summit home Sunday evening.
Pay attention gentlemen, in a couple of weeks there just might be a woman with a limp stumbling around Westport who doesn’t have a lot of expectations for a dude to fulfill.

More than any other major metropolitan newspaper, (all but two of) the opinion writers and columnists at the Kansas City Star are milquetoast, boring and mostly inconsequential.
Their lack of any insight into Kansas City is what keeps local bloggers garnering an increasing number of readers as time goes by . . . Really, reading [...]

Like most anti-immigrant reactionaries, Missouri Treasurer Sarah Steelman doesn’t really know a lot about the subject of immigration especially when it comes to hard evidence (sessy).
The problem was that Steelman’s numbers were based on the misinterpretation of a nationwide study.

Steelman’s report overstated the estimate of illegal workers in Missouri by 5,800 to 10,800 workers. It [...]

Ramsey vlogged the Big 12 at the Live Block.
It’s a nice look at white people in their natural habitat: Ignoring the ongoing two front war, crime in Kansas City, a global economic meltdown and the obvious racism inherent in college basketball.
Still not much mention from many people about the lack of the anchor [...]

A group of local Catholics took to the street in order to protest the Bodies Revealed exhibit over the weekend.
I admire their stand, their conviction and their willingness to leave the house but when it comes down to it they screwed up this opportunity.
Their problem with the creep show was based on some [...]

The conversation featured in this AMAZING VIDEO doesn’t take place in Kansas City . . . But it could.
On the surface it’s just a clip of some Black dudes making a white woman cry . . . But I think it’s even deeper than that . . . I don’t know exactly what it [...]

Here’s something to remember my fellow media watchers . . .
Whenever there is an enthusiastic quote from a politician . . . You’re watching/reading or listening to propaganda.
Whenever economic figures are are touted without any real data regarding their impact . . . It’s propaganda.
I’m paraphrasing here but there’s this great old journalism quote [...]

Check out all of the info related to all things Irish in Kansas City from a dude blogging this town from across the pond . . . Impressive.
Note: TKC only likes him because I think he was deported and that gives us a common thread. (Not really . . . I think)
Also, [...]

These posts to start off the week are always the hardest.
So, I guess I’ll begin by noting that the U.S. economy is still in the tank despite all of the local celebrating.
Even worse, the local PD is out in full force to pick up local drunks. It means revenue for legal and insurance companies [...]
