"Sexy redhead new in KC seeks Black males"

In today's sexy, sultry and NSFW KC Craigslist personal we find a young woman from St. Louis eager to make friends in KC. This personal ad should do wonders for race relations because after reading it many guys might wish they were Black so they could "welcome" this broad to the area.

Online dating is only for sex



Panda Watch! Just like most guys in this town a local panda used the Internet in order to obtain sex from a partner who is probably unsuspecting, very vulnerable and rebounding from yet another failed relationship.

However, the whole thing seems to be backfiring on KC panda Fagan (No Homo) since the female already moved into his pad and is most likely cramping his style. Oh well, at least she doesn't already have kids and the only baggage he’ll have to deal with is emotional.

However, if the relationship* follows the same trajectory as most online hookups the whole thing should be over in about 2 months and we can look forward to each of them revealing embarrassing secrets about one another on their blogs.

*I know the pandas at the KC Zoo are red pandas but the preceding photo made me laugh and I think red pandas are ugly which gives them something else in common with most people forced to find "dates" online.

"The East Coast attitude has eroded; it's a gentler eatery today."

Local blog Happy in Bag serves up a nice pic and a kind review of D'Brox.

David Smith scandal almost cleaned up



In the most clear cut case of bigotry this town has ever seen School Board President David Smith was FOUND GUILTY of unfairly firing one of his employees at The Kansas City Boys and Girls Clubs after she complained that his hiring practices were discriminatory.

As a response to the GUILTY VERDICT not only did prominent members of the Black community throw their support behind Smith but The Star also backed up the School Board official with a glowing editorial and the work of reporters who attempted to retry the case in the pages of this town's only daily paper.

Thankfully, KC Currents offers an alternative record of the Smith debacle so that future generations will know that this case is yet another example of how the Civil Rights Movement only served to advance Black people (which is fine but let's at least be honest) and notions of equality and diversity are simply fantasies uttered for popularity and political gain.

"What Whites and Blacks Should Know About Each Other"

Both groups hate Mexicans.

If only her brains were that big



This UMKC prof offers yet another way to waste your money through higher education.
Dr. Elizabeth Berkshire began teaching masculinity classes at UMKC in 2004 . . . According to Berkshire, femininity cannot be fully understood without exploring masculinity. The two are not independent of one another. Moreover, the study of multiple masculinities is fundamental to a well-rounded examination of gender.
Ugh, man. She'd be better off teaching advanced sandwich making. Ironically, if this course is like any of the gender studies classes I've heard about it will cater primarily to lesbians and offer them something to emulate.

"Toby Young 7 Months???"

Paul Morrison says she could face 7 months to two years. Ironically, she's set back feminism more than a couple of decades.

Toby Young's Tennessee Jailhouse Interview

Count on KCTV 5 to come through with the goods on this remarkably stupid and sexy story.

"A one-word error in a Kansas law meant his initial 18-year prison term couldn't stand"

However the guy did get close to 9 years for drunk driving that ultimately led to the death of a Mission Hills couple in a case that probably still won't keep you from thinking that your drunk ass is okay to drive after partying this evening.

Opposition group kicks off campaign against stem cell measure

I'd just like to know where they found a group of people in perfect health who don't even know anybody who is sick.

"A woman is beaten every 15 seconds in this nation."

My mom's favorite joke: "Hey, if that dumb bitch won't leave him then she's getting what she deserves. Every 15 seconds! You'd think she would learn that he'll never change after a couple minutes of beatings."

Record February dryness after record January warmth

Complaining also went up this month as well . . . Local weather is a bitch. No matter how hard you concentrate it seems like it takes a miracle to get things wet around here. Maybe if you were more of a man and took care of your responsibilities things would be so bleak!

Buck Passed (Not dead, just overlooked. Just like your Grandma.)



Today, you might hear many KC sports personalities decry the fact that KC legend Buck O'Neil was denied acceptance to the National Baseball Hall of Fame. Throughout their blather you have to remember that professional sports is an industry that is inherently racist and exploitive and truly unimportant. Additionally, all sports reporters are either failed athletes or closeted homosexuals and often both. And as The Star whines that the snub was an "injustice" you may realize that the faux outrage is more about appeasing white guilt rather than offering any tribute to O'Neil . . . Especially since he seemed to take the rejection in stride.

As much as I like him as a person, I won't cry crocodile tears for Buck O'Neil. At 94, I'm sure the guy has endured greater disappointments. While sports enthusiasts point out that O'Neil's numbers weren't that great during his career other Black nationalists types will note that he was playing in a league where the athletes were much better than the crop of pasty white guys who played for Caucasian audiences. It both cases, they are wrong, stupid and hackneyed.

And while I'd like to view O'Neil as a kindly old gentleman right out of a Stephen King novel or the guy that Skynard was singing about in "The Ballad of Curtis Loew" the truth is that Buck O'Neil is largely responsible for the costly failure known as Negro leagues Baseball Museum and the other abandoned attractions on 18th and Vine that have this city drowning in red ink.

With a smile and a wink and that sense of guilt that white people feel toward every elderly Black person O'Neil suckered the people of KC into paying for an attraction that has played host to just as many dead hookers as paying customers.

So, I don't feel that bad that the guy didn't get his award because the millions that Kansas City has thrown away in his honor should suffice. Additionally, I think it's nice that the people of KC have taken him into their heart and made him a kind of mascot in order to quell mentions of this town's bigoted past and present. I guess we ought to honor at least one local old person since so few of us spend any time with our own elderly relatives.

Kansas City Brigade Final Season Ticket Count

A report reveals that 8,912 fans purchased season tickets for the inaugural season and I'm sure at least a few of them actually understood what in the hell was going on during the fake football games.

Former school employee gets 70 months on child porn charge

An examination of Andrus's computer revealed thousands of photos and movies containing images of boys 6 to 14 engaged in sexual activity including bondage, prosecutors said.

As long as he didn't touch anybody you've got to admit that 5 years is a little tough for simply looking at photos. I know viewing child porn contributes to the suffering associated with it but shopping at Wal-Mart also involves you in the world's sorrows. But you don't win elections by standing up for pervs. Better to beat up on an easy target. Now if we could only get a few Mexicans and ex-cons to get a hold of laptops.

Riverside Judge Resigns After Weekend Arrest

Drunk, holding on to coke at a Mickey D's . . . you'd think a judge would at least party like an adult and not a 19 year-old suburban kid.

Carnahan To Be Treated For Breast Cancer

And I'll stop myself from making a tasteless political joke here because of my overwhelming support and admiration for women's breasts. In fact, here's a NSFW link to Big Naturals just to prove my point and demonstrate my devotion.

Deputy Admits Having Sex With Female Inmate

Finally, there is hope of screwing a woman and then being able to tell her what to do, where to go and keeping an accurate track of her whereabouts. Where's my resume?

Riding the bus does not make you unique



Yes, yes I get it. If you're young, white and don't live in the suburbs then riding the bus is a wonderful affectation that makes you unique. I don't have any hostility toward local blogger Heidi who has posted this KC adaptation of a public transportation meme but it seems like every white person with glasses and a blog is now an expert on transportation issues yet nobody has proposed hooking up rickshaws to these people so they are actually useful.

You wanna know what they call someone who isn't white and rides the bus?

Poor.

I'm sorry but you're not saving the world by using mass transit, not with all of the other millions of cars on the planet. Thank you for trying and if there is ever a way that we can solve the energy and climate change crisis by powering vehicles on your sense of self-satisfaction then we'll be sure to get in touch.

One last thing, Napoleon Dynamite was funny but not that funny and Dave Chappelle is a comedian who likes his crack and not the voice of a generation.

Feast before Famine



Just in case you don't get enough partying done today, the KC Kitty reminds us that St. Patrick's Day is soon approaching. Because we all know you're a great Catholic and these holidays have a lot of deep meaning and traditional value for you. Hah, if you were really a good Catholic you'd be busy covering up a sex abuse scandal.

However, Toast has a much more optimistic view of the festivities and she provides some good info on tonight's events as well:
The Crossroads Mardi Gras krewe has apparently hooked up with the 18th and Vine people. The parade route and celebration are supposed to stretch about two miles down 18th Street this year. All the way from YJ's to The Foundation and the Blue Room. The more merriment the merrier, I suppose. It'll be interesting to see the crosscrowd once the parade ends. Hippies and jazz musicians. I predict much dope smoke and unbathedness, as well as the usual drunken joy.
In related news I still haven't decided what I'm going to give up during Lent. I'm hoping to consult my priest and see if I can figure out a way to go carousing, get drunk, screw random white women and then spend the next 40 days giving up STDs, hangovers, a beer gut and other consequences.

And speaking of religion, I remember Lisa Simpson saying that prayer is the last refuge of a scoundrel. Come to find out that she was misquoting Samuel Johnson who actually noted that patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel. So I guess it's okay to be a hypocrite as long as you're not a Republican . . . Which I'm pretty sure might be the new campaign slogan of all Democrats running for office in the immediate future.

And now all of this talk of politics and religion makes me want to open up a bottle of Samuel Adams and then maybe a can of whoop ass.

New Blog: Sadrinka Of Kansas City

I'm no fan of the Royals, especially since they want nearly a billion dollars in exchange for losing 100 games, but I am a MAJOR fan of sexy Rubenesque women who like sports. Now, if the chick knows how to make chicken pot pies then she gets a listing on my favorite sites. Link via Just Cara

God Damn Bill Tammeus straight to Hell!

Not really but I thought his recent post about the Mayor's prayer breakfast was ineffectual and uninspired . . . very much like all religion in general. I'd have more respect for him if he simply called Country Club Kay a cunt for not going to the prayer breakfast. In fact, that would be righteous. Thus spake the Tony.

Blogger bits revealed



Many thanks to local blog Happy In Bag for cluing me into the fact that this blog was mentioned in The Star yesterday. Imagine that. Nice to know that I've thrown SO much poop their way but they don't take it too seriously. I guess they shouldn't since they are housed in a multi-million dollar glass production facility and I do these posts in my underwear (while crying). Anyway, the following blogger links are brought to you by Bill:

Page B7 of the February 26 Star. In the bottom right hand corner of the "Sunday Opinion" page, there's a feature called "Blog Bits." I don't know if it's a new feature or not.

Three bloggers are quoted. Powerlineblog.com opining about holocaust denial, cathyyoung.blogspot.com writing about Harvard politics, and "Tony, tonyskansascity.com." The quote is: "Protesting funerals may be the stupidest thing ever concocted, but legislating against funeral protesters is almost as silly."

So, thanks. That's cool . . . I wish I could be nicer when Steve Penn's next column is published but I probably won't . . . I'm sorry, I can't do that.

Rolling Roof Ripoff: Crazy Star Editorial Board Can't do Math



Today, an unsigned editorial in The Star not only proves that the corporate columnists don't care about this town but also that they don't read much besides their own rag.

The Star wants the people of Jackson County to build the world's largest rolling roof and finance Stadium improvements simply because the NFL is offering a Superbowl in return for the billion dollar payoff.
Placed over Arrowhead Stadium, the roof could create a climate-controlled facility that would enable Kansas City to host the Super Bowl in 2015 or 2017. Holding one of the biggest events in the sporting world here would give the entire area a huge boost in national and international attention.
However, what The Star doesn't mention is that one study after the next has clearly demonstrated that the economic impact of a Superbowl is greatly exaggerated.
Phil Porter, a professor at USF's Tampa campus, studied the economic impact of six Super Bowls, including the games in Miami in 1976, 1979 and 1995. He concluded that the estimates of economic impact contain as much hype as a Super Bowl pregame show.

"Three Super Bowl impact studies [1991 Tampa, 1995 Miami, 1996 Phoenix] as well as conventional wisdom predict huge windfalls for the communities that host Super Bowls," Porter wrote. "But in these and every other instance studied [Miami 1976 and 1979 and Tampa 1984], no windfall materializes."
More recently, after this year's Superbowl . . . Have you made any plans to visit Detroit?

The Star's continuous effort to back the Stadium Tax and rolling roof ripoff is the worst kind of biased coverage this town has had to endure since Emanuel Cleaver was mayor. The Star hasn't been critical of the pipe dream plan or honest with its readers.

Sadly, the paper of record in this town has been nothing more than a cheerleader in this effort to extort money from Jackson County on behalf of suburban jerks, millionaire athletes and billionaire owners who have shown little or no interest in the economic stability of KC proper.

First Meth and now Mexicans in Independence



It's Monday so it's time for a little bit of self-hatred. There's nothing that sparks my self-loathing more than a condescending article from The Star. Today's misguided Mexican missive has to do with the growing number of future dishwashers Latinos in KC Schools. Apparently, the white people of Independence are too illiterate and high on Meth to notice the recent influx of Mexicans. It's amazing what you miss when you've been up for 9 days in a row.

Anyway, here's how the Star puts a happy face on the situation:
The district's percentage of Hispanic students stood near 6 percent last year, in line with the rest of the metropolitan area, according to census figures. But the district's increase of nearly two-thirds between 2001 and 2005 far outpaced growth in the broader community.

So in January, the district freed up Peck and Nanette Smith - both bilingual teachers - to help Spanish-speaking families.

The women's tasks range from interpreting instructions from a school nurse during a health screening to talking with parents about grades and discipline.
And that's all well and good but there is bound to be some animosity toward these new arrivals. There are only so many fat white women to go around . . . the competition between former white cons looking for a sugar mama and illegals in need of wife who is a citizen must be intense.

And because I know white people (I have lived among them) I know that these kind of articles only serve to create discord. The Mexican invasion of the United States needs to be stealthy if it is to be successful (read: profitable). Nobody cares who cooks the food, fights the wars, mows the lawns, cleans the toilets as long as it gets done . . . Publicizing so many Mexicans utilizing public services may make the liberals happy but it won't sit well with the rank and file conservatives who have grown accustomed to yelling "They took yer job" at random intervals throughout the day.

However, the most important task facing this company country is the ongoing effort to keep prices low. While slave Chinese labor abroad provides reasonable prices on consumer goods (Thank you Wal-Mart) the Mexicans are integral in maintaining a cost effective service industry. So, while it may be unpleasant I'd simply advise you to smile, enjoy your cheap electronics and fast food and simply nod your head when the guy who is dating your daughter comes to you one day and asks "Can I call ju Dad?"

Look how much effort it takes to bore me



It has come to my attention that filmmaker Ken Burns will speak at William Jewell College's Achievement Day (no pun intended) dinner at 7 p.m. Thursday at the Hyatt Regency Crown Center hotel . . . So bring a pillow.

Incredibly, tickets to the event are selling for $100 which isn't bad if you figure that the event will miraculously cure insomnia and almost any other sleeping disorder.

You've got some 'splaining to do!



This week will feature tons of Toby Young coverage but I doubt that much of it will answer the prurient questions we all have in mind. Sure, we all have lots of theories but I doubt anybody will ever know what went through Young's mind when she made her fateful decision to run away with John Manard. As they are set to appear in court today, the media circus kicks into high gear and the only thing we know for sure is that two weeks of prison break sex sure takes a toll on a woman.

Cowtown Corral: Odd man out



- If you were wondering about which publication is the whitest in town, this lacrosse link proves that the KC Business Journal holds the title.

- Just like most of his employees, Applebee's CEO won't get a tip after a lackluster performance and nasty ass hotwings.

- Protect Yourself While Traveling Overseas: Practice telling strangers you're Canadian.

- Former KC physician soon to play doctor in the pen as he pleads guilty to Medicare fraud.

- A review of the revisionist movie The Confederate States of America.

Faster Cash. Kill, kill . . .



The UMB Bank at 79th and Wornall is now the ATM of choice for Eastsiders. Actually, there's nothing funny about the death of a security guard who was more than 70 years old during the robbery. As we head into warmer weather Wornall is poised to maintain its reputation as the ugliest street in Kansas City for both aesthetic and demographic reasons.

Marriage sucks stinks



KC Infozine is no fan of married men as they encourage their readers to their readers to suck on a pickle in order to satisfy cravings instead of working on improving their marriage by applying those same principles to more productive endeavors.

The local real estate market is still flying high



In horribly cruel news destined to screw up my karma, a man dies after falling 9 stories out of a Plaza apartment and while a few of you will feel bad, 90% of us are probably wondering if he had a good view and when the place goes on the market.

Cracking wise



A KC Reverend might have great faith but he doesn't have a prayer when it comes to shutting down local drug houses.

What would Jesus Doo-do



Area Christians are acquitted after years of talking shit. The controversy that embroiled Heartland Christian Academy staffers stank to high Heaven but now it's over.

Making the most of a bad situation



A few local men are accused of making robbery victims strip at gunpoint. Unfortunately, they aren't returning the money even if the victims do a really good job of shaking their junk.

Hold up wait a minute



I know being charged 8 dollars for cheese sticks that cost 3 bucks for two dozen at the grocery store is just one of the many things that makes me want to shoot somebody when I eat at chain restaurants so I'm wondering if it was all the goofy shit on the wall or the happy go lucky servers caused a person to pull a gun during an argument at an Overland Park restaurant.
About 100 people were inside Houlihan's at West 95th Street and Quivira Road when an argument started at about 1 a.m.Someone apparently pulled a gun and everyone poured out of the restaurant, trying to get away.
Or maybe the person simply heard one birthday cheer to many.

No Se Puede



The war on Spanish Speaking students continues as EKC reports that Dylan Theno was harassed in Tonganoxie High School, other students in the Turner School District claim being punished for speaking Spanish. School districts are on the defensive. Sadly, none of this ire is directed toward obnoxious Spanish teachers and their damn pop quizzes.

Blogger Backtalk: Good looking out



- Local blogger Heidi spots a smaller banner on the American Century building which could mean that the company realized their horrible ad campaign was performing nearly as bad as its funds.

- Curb Girl offers a pic that "makes this city look like a teeny tiny industrial town or at least a place where nothing new has been built since 1910."

- Don Knotts, Daren McGavin pass on over the weekend. Local blogger Sirvinegar posts a tribute. Abe Vigoda will bury us all.

- A left wing-raging liberal-pinko viewpoint other than the KC Star. Enjoy local blog STP Speaks.

- A port, a storm and a culture of fear. Local blogger JDub shares his thoughts on the recent national security debate: "I just can't conceive how anyone feels more safe with these idiots at the helm."

Fox 4's Shauna Thomas and soft porn






Finally, there is a reason to watch Fox 4's morning news. A rumor first showed up on a local Internet message board that there is a softcore porn movie featuring Fox 4's new hire Shauna Thomas over at Atomfilms. OF COURSE, I had to investigate! And upon viewing the short movie, I have to admit that it's all pretty tasteful and really shows off the acting skill possessed by Thomas . . . especially when she is riding some dude and asking "Who's your daddy!"

Actually, if your read a bio for Thomas that appears on IMDB she is very accomplished. Obviously, the lady is experienced because that didn't look like the first time she had tongue kissed a woman.

At first I wasn't sure about the validity of the rumor but I did a little surfing and I found that photos of the sluty short film also haunted her in her former gig in Utah.

So, I don't know if Fox 4 is going after the S&M demographic but I'm happy to see yet another local TV skank on the scene in KC along with one more reason not pay any attention to the tramps that read the news.

The dumbest white woman on the planet found safe in Tennessee



Yes! There is no need to feel guilty that this dumb bitch might have gotten herself killed by her sheer stupidity!

Toby Young and John Manard were captured around 8:40 p.m. by local, state and federal law enforcement authorities on Interstate 75 between Chattanooga and Knoxville after a brief vehicle chase. Young is being charged with helping Manard escape.

So let the public spectacle begin . . . I want to know everything. Was it love at first sight when they first met at the Safe Harbor Prison Dog program at Lansing Correctional Facility? Or did he smooth talk her? Was she impressed by all of his tattoos? How much sex did they have when they were on the run and is it true that there is nothing hotter than prison break sex? I'd also like to hear from her husband and kids, just how unsatisfying can a relationship get before you break some convict out of jail in order to seek fulfillment?

And I'm not even sure that I want Toby Young to go to jail. As the "Stupidest White Woman on the Planet" I think that we owe it to mankind to study her in order to find out the answer to mysteries like Dr. Phil's popularity, Enya and what really happens when women go to the restroom with one another. Toby Young needs to be studied . . . and then beaten.

A white woman fights back



This headline from The Star is actually a bit misleading:

Defiant mother, passer-by foil carjacking near gallery

If you go on to read the story, you'll discover that four dudes beat the shit out of this woman and her son before they got a little bit of cash and decided to go grab lunch at California Pizza Kitchen on The Plaza. Of course, the alleged assailants were quickly picked up because nobody with names like Marshon, Ronnelle and Alvino (read: Black guys) will get away with beating a white woman in broad daylight.

However, while I'm not a fan of 50 something white women, I also don't support muggers. So, you'll have to write this one up to an cross-cultural conflict and a reminder that not only is it better to stay in your own neighborhood but also rob your own people.

To Do in KC: Other than your buddy's mom.




- Weekend show picks from The Event Driver inclue:

BB King at Ameristar...
KC Symphony at The Lyric...
Chamber Music at The Folly...
12th Anniversary of The Brew Jam at 75th Street...
Cover Wars at The Grand Emporium...
Valentine at Palza III...
Links to all the KCHopps venues, Ivy's, Jardine's, Ida, Angela, Baby Lee, Mike Metheny, Stan Kessler, Kerry Strayer, Joe Cartwright, and much more . . .


- Also, understudys perform a show I didn't like in the first place along with The Star's entertainment listings.

- Last but not least, KC Kitty offers some links regarding this weekend's CD release party for local band "The Action Figures."

Listening to Rap Music Will Get You Killed




Apparently, nobody told the owners of Kabal that playing rap music might draw a crowd but that crowd will ultimately be dispersed by gunfire before they have a chance to spend much money. Recently, a shooting at Kabal not only proves that Hip-Hop fans don't know how to behave themselves but also that they have horrible aim.
The gunfight broke out in the parking lot of Kabal Restaurant & Nightclub, 503 Walnut St., police said. Apparently, no one was hit, but bullets hit five cars and police found shell casings in the area.
That's right, thankfully nobody was hurt but not due to a lack of effort. I'm sure if this local hip-hop club keeps catering to the lowest common denominator (read: minority rap fans like myself) it's only a matter of time before somebody gets killed when the shooter inevitably decides to come back in what we in the industry like to call a "remix."

Mama's little baby loves Meth



As further evidence that white people have an insatiable appetite for this insidious drug you've no doubt already heard of a local kid ingesting Meth and the subsequent arrest of his mother.

The sad thing is, while the mom was a former (yeah, right and I'm giving up porn) Meth addict she says she doesn't know where the kid got the stuff. Whereas most people know that if there is an El Camino around, there is a way to get a hold of Meth.

Seriously, this is a sad story not just because kids doing drugs is horrible and wrong and God and the Bible but also because the kid will go through his baby teeth in about two weeks if he keeps up his horrible meth habit.

Mr. Brightside




Things might just be looking up on Troost according to local blog Gone Mild.
But there is something happening on Troost, and it's positive. If you explore the neglected street, you'll see that some wonderful growth has begun, and there are things to appeal to a wide range of interests.
Actually, I hope this is true because I thought that the hookers were the only thing positive on Troost and the only growth was the proliferation of illegal firearms. I'll take my good news wherever I can get it, but it's still no coincidence that I think of 'The Killers' whenever there is a discussion regarding Troost.

Osama doesn't care about Kansas City



In case of emergency there is no plan plan to evacuate the city. On the bright side, officials say there is no need for one.
Kansas City's landlocked location means it needs to prepare for more localized disasters, officials said. They concluded almost nothing could demand the emptying of such a large and sprawling collection of cities. In interviews, they also noted that there were virtually no geographic barriers to evacuation — far different from cities in coastal or mountain areas.
Thankfully, a large portion of the white population in this town has already been evacuated across State Lines.

Cowpokes



Cattle rustling is on the rise in Missouri and across the nation. This is either the work of the aliens or cowboys wanting to relive Brokeback Mountian with a bit of danger thrown in . . . in either case I'm guessing that the animals will be probed.

I'll drink to that!



Now that Janice Ellis has dropped out of the race for the City Council vacancy, George Blackwood will be sworn in next week as the new 4th District Kansas City councilman. A cure for a hangover from KC politics is nowhere in sight.

Starburst: Schoolhouse Rock



The Star teaches us a thing or two about education in this area as they obviously still haven't learned anything about the Internet judging from their stupid online registration policy.

- Kansas about to spend $500 million in order to get your kids to forget all about evolution.

- Bad Blood? KU Med defends study on PolyHeme otherwise known as Count Dracula's version of diet pop.

- Mike Hendricks turns in a fantastic column about an insidious evil that is so dim-witted we dare not speak its name.

- Baby Pandas are the only children of immigrants whose birth we celebrate in this country.

- Tainted love or Too young to fall in love or why must I be a teenager in love (and visa versa). Pervy former Shawnee Mission coach ordered to stay away from his young sweetheart.

- Lawmakers don't want de-facto school vouchers for KC schools. Mainly, because it would be a waste of money.
