Kansas City has a Funky X-mas



Overall, Kansas City hates the Mayor's X-mas tree. Once again, Funkhouser has messed up a trivial task and I'm surprised it had nothing to do with neglecting the Mayor's X-mas Tree Fund or his wife's alleged spooky faith practices . . . Here's my favorite quote:
“Mayor’s Christmas Tree: Tall and skinny.

“Mayor: Tall and skinny.

“Need I say more?”
Yep, an X-mas tree isn't like a white woman, sometimes it can be too tall and skinny and overall the Mayor didn't win any brownie points by picking such an ugly and wasteful display.

Once again, the Mayor screws up one of the easiest aspects of his job and can't even elicit good vibes during the season of goodwill.

Please Santa, send Mayor Funky some charm.

Read the article dude. There are at least a dozen other people who don't like the tree. Admittedly, they don't all blame the Mayor. They just don't like the waste or the quest for the biggest stick.

I like the tree.

I support the Mayor.

I'm going to stop reading Tony.

If you look at the Crown Center commercial they double up the tree to make it look bigger.

The letter writers to the Star have a point. There's no need for a tree this big if we're a City is concerned about the enviornment.

Send him some charm? I think you'd better be first on the list for that.

Tony, I think you are on to something and perhaps the is worthy of further historical study.

Submitted for your approval, the warnings a future Funkhouser regime found at the New York World's Fair of 1939-1940. The "Trylon" and the "Perisphere" were made-up thematic shapes constructed for the Fair. If you look at these shapes, I believe they clearly provided warning of The Prince Consort and The Shoe-less Scourge.

Whether by alien intervention or the handy work of hash-smoking architects, we were warned of what was to come in 1939.

Yes, We Were Warned.

(See the poster on this page for the trylon and perisphere: http://www.websyte.com/alan/nywf.htm)

Tony don't need charm, he has a pen.

The pen is mightier than the sword.

Judging from that funny looking pine cone on top of the tree global warming is some frightening stuff.

You have to be kidding me with this tree? The mayor's office can't even do that right. People may be at Tony for dissing the mayor on this, but hey, the overwhelming majority of Kansas Citians feel that the tree is ugly and was a waste of major bucks.

God could this mayoral office be any more f'ing stupid. It wouldn't surprise me if next week we find out that Francis Semler and the Minutemen donated the tree to Gloria for another free iphone.
