OUR TIME: NOTHING MATTERS IN KANSAS CITY BUT THE MLB ALL-STAR GAME!!!
A reality check regarding what Kansas City elected officials are working on . . .
The Kansas City Star wants to reassure you . . . Security is ready for All-Star Game . . . Don't ask about your neighborhood.
Mayor James "Our Time"
KCUR offers a report on Mayor Sly making an inspection of All-Star prep work - Mayor Sly James went to the Kansas City Emergency Operations Center for a briefing on readiness for the All-Star Game and most immediate interest shifted to the heat wave.
TKC'S FAVORITE LINK . . .
Kansas City's efforts to make a good impression for the rest of the world are bittersweet for residents of some inner-city neighborhoods.
Kansas City's political elite are celebrating the All-Star excitement . . . One of you d-bags offered a great inquiry about how many politicos are getting their tickets comped . . . It's best not to ask questions and simply enjoy the fact that an overhyped and meaningless baseball game brings together all of Kansas City's elected officials.
DEVELOPING . . .

Yes all the political d-bags will be there as guests of the taxpayers. I mean this event is all about them and for sure not the real people of KC.
After being there just a few days ago myself and watching KC's head clown and staff act like fools I for one think I will pass on the dog and pony show. One can only hold off the urge to puke from it all just so long.
If any of the rest of you do go and are inside the Hall of Fame suite area please take a camera with you don't be like I was and missed some great chances to provide T with some great shots of the clown show.
Priorities all screwed up at city hall.
Heard the good Mayor on the radio this AM. He is an absolute Chamber of Commerce idiot. His statement was that young people come to cities because they are cool, not because there are jobs.
Trying to make a city "cool" instead of livable will turn us into Detroit instead of San Francisco.
Yes, the mayor inspected the security facilities, and THEN HE'LL BE LEAVING TOWN FOR HIS CHIEF OF STAFF'S WEDDING IN DENVER.
And actually the city's priorities are very clear, except they have nothing to do with the people who actually live in KCMO and pay the bills.
Chamber PR, insider deals,streetcars, and subsidizing anything that moves? Check.
Public safety, water services, sewer systems, good streets, housing department, fire hydrants? Not so much.
And now we'll have Glorioso, Gray, Rowe and the gang convince taxpayers to pony up more money to keep this circus going.
How're you going to vote?
Sly's checklist
Sunscreen for wife
Make sure Kyle is scheduled to work at Costco
Pimp out, er, uh introduce Aja to A-Rod
Create diversion to hook up with Circo during 7th inning stretch
Practice not to have JBF look on my face
LOOK! It's a turd in a bow tie!!!!
The All Star game is nice for the city but Detroit has had All Star games, Super Bowls and final fours for years. The answer to our problems is not tourism, its not light rail, its not TIFs, and its not tax increases. The answer is the hard work of reducing crime, developing a better business climate for ALL companies, and maintaining the infrastructure.
Welcome To Kansas City - World Headquarters for the 2012 All Star Game. Please beware of popping water mains when driving and walking. In case of boil orders bottled water will be provided for your All Star enjoyment.
Welcome to Kansas City - if your car is stolen contact your insurance company, our police force is busy reviewing red light cameras.
I propose that Sly do some spots to promote a true KC success- the great culinary arts scene here.
Change the name of the campaign to "Our Thyme".
Replace the bow tie with an apron (branded with the logos of the great restaurants).
Show how, from farm to table, KC is redefining dining.
Let his big belly and fat ass be representative of great food at great restaurants instead of looking like another attorney/political pig feeding at the trough and selling the latest money grabbing scheme.
Oooga booga booga boo ooga ooga booga!!!
Our Time.
During the game's telecast, before commercials, viewers will see:
The Plaza
A fountain on the Plaza with blue water.
A shuttlecock.
Maybe the big barren K-PAC.
A close-up of some BBQ.
Maybe some 18th & Vine.
The game will end, and Our Time is over.
And the Mayor can take off that green bow tie.

the rest of the world knows KC is a shithole cowtown!
