The Star is stuck in the past

In keeping with the spirit of swine flu, today The Star is spotlighting a couple of pigs living in a $4 million condo looking down on most of Kansas City in an attempt to alienate the last remaining segment of their audience during a recession. I don't know that the point of the story was other than an attempt to make me hate the couple profiled, the author and the paper-of-record . . . If that was case . . . It worked!!!

  1. I agree. The Star seems directionless lately. First, an article last Sunday about a handful of people who are stocking up food and growing gardens. Now a front-page article about an opulent apartment that maybe 40 people might want to read.

    I don't get it. No wonder my copy of the Star usually stays in its plastic bag.

    Even you could pull some sweet tang with a pad like that.

  4. not only that but this is the second--yes, second--story the Star has done on these 2. The first time was when it was still being done. Are these 2 empty-nesters, as the Star calls them, nouveau riche attention hounds, or what?

    eh, this guy made all his money selling overpriced tvs at Antin House of Video. And then dumped his first wife.

  7. Someone is jealous! Work hard, save your pennies and even YOU can work as their house boy.

    Congrats on their success!
