A conversation with a newspaper man after the conclusion of his dead-tree career provides a fitting conclusion for #TBT posting.
Check the description regarding tonight's mostly municipal discussion among the denizens of Kansas City's GOLD STANDARD of political discourse . . .
"Mike Shanin talks to former KC Star editorial writer and Ruckette Yael Abouhalkah about his recent Peace Corps experience in Namibia. Michele Watley, Jim Heeter, Patrick Tuohey and Steve Mirakian discuss the debate over implementing bike lanes in Kansas City, the speculation about moving Kauffman Stadium downtown and Mike Pompeo's recent visit and odds for him entering the Senate race in Kansas."
Take a look:
You decide . . .
I didn't agree with him much when he was writing for The Star but I will say that it's nice to see a former newspaper worker do something productive with their time or at least try to have a good retirement rather than posting on some dumb blog or attempting to get into politics.
ReplyDeleteHe is entitled to his opinions but I never distrusted his accuracy even if he was totally wrong in his support for Mayor Funkhouser.
^^^ No idea what you're talking about. He's still getting political and basically campaigning against Kris Kobach during his segment.
DeleteWhat's a newspaper?
DeleteOh Barf
ReplyDeleteDamn sam, I gave this guy 5 bucks and then he just quit blogging. What I rip. I hope he didn't give my money to one of his students!
ReplyDeleteThink about it.
Cycle on the sidewalk with big ass tires.
ReplyDeleteThe city doesn't comply with ADA.
How the fuck do wheelchair people do it.
I can barely ride on the sidewalk.
Comply or get the fuck out!
Steve,what's his name, is full of shit.
10:36: No idea what you're talking about. The Ruckettes discussed Krazy Kris, but I don't recall Yael saying anything about him at all.
ReplyDeleteGreat a Libtard big mouth returns to KC. F__k him.
ReplyDeleteAnd yet he's interesting and you're... not. Weird.
ReplyDeleteEvidently his Peace Corp gig was not profitable and he gave it up.
ReplyDelete^^^^Did you find your Peace Corps gig profitable?
