Mayor Kay cynically assumes that those who engage in ass sex don't know much about local politics - No homo, of course

Recently, Mayor "Country Club" Kay Barnes has created quite a stir by appearing on the cover of a local gay publication. The mayor is clearly pandering to one of the city's smallest (yet most vocal) minorities. And while this (empty) gesture is seen as bold move or as an advancement in the recognition of the ass slamming community it's nothing more than cheap trick to garner support for one of the worst mayoral tenures in more than a generation.

Let's make a comparison. During the last election Bush did not have a plan for winning the war in Iraq, battling high energy costs, jumpstarting the struggling economy or anything other than prolonging Toby Keith's career. Yet, he (or his advisors) did know that (many) people find butt sex somewhat disgusting. He capitalized on that and was able to make one or two declarative sentences regarding his policy and that was enough to win the election handily coupled with the fact that John Kerry's wife should be the first to be deported if any of this immigration stuff goes through. Kay has pulled off (nullus) a carbon copy of the maneuver and reached around out to the gheys in order to find someone in town who might show some acceptance of the deviant acts she has performed as mayor. Because Mayor Kay's tactic presumes that gheys don't care about fiscal responsibility, the city's debt load (heh) or this town's crumbling infrastructure. Obviously, if you're brave enough to show up at a homo party and not deny it afterwards then you're a hero in the ghey community. Either that or the next election she's running in will be for Queen of the Queers - a title that I believe was formerly held by Ida Mcbeth for a long period of time during the late 70's in this town.

Another point worth a bit of discussion is that maybe Kansas City is being primed for a backdoor invasion from homosexuals (ewwwwwwww) and Mayor Kay is finally revealing the team for which she's playing. It's common knowledge that homosexuals have more money than straight people. And, since (stereotypically) homosexuals are more well groomed then your average slob guy it makes sense to think that they are well suited to take advantage of the tax abated condos that are the only legacy of Mayor Kay's tenure. Yup, Country Club Kay couldn't fix many potholes in this town and I haven't heard her say the word sewer in three years but she has nearly turned KC into a Mecca for rich ghey people who are suckers for speculative real estate markets. And while I'm sure the gay community* has contributed a lot to this town other than illicit sex in public parks, I trust that any group of people smart enough to avoid marriage, figure out nose hair trimmers and earn more money on average than boobie lovers like myself can see right past this lady's ruse. While I believe that the lifestyle choices of most people are disgusting, I don't think that anybody could honestly get behind Country Club Kay (in any sense of the expression) without some serious reservations regarding her inept handling of this town's finances, infrastructure and her overall lack of character and leadership as a mayor.

*Notice that I didn't mention lesbians once in this post because lesbianism is not a sexual preference, it's simply a way of either enticing or repulsing men based on the shape of the women involved.
