Has some EXCELLENT info on the Bishop Finn court case that relates to why the penalty (Probation) seems so insignificant.

Tony's bete noire, Mary Sanchez comes across as a very reasonable and attractive person.

I dissagree with almost everything she writes, but she is very persuasive, well spoken, engaging and charming in this video.

It is easy to see why she is respected here in the city as a journalist and a person.

Actually, now that I think about it, I liked the whole panel.

Dude from KMBZ was thoughtful and had great insights. The white guy (Fogot his name.) really nailed the way I think most Catholics think about the Finn scandal.

The black guy from the Call was also excellent. He made some excellent points about the cost of Google east of Troost that were very logical and to the point.

I think Tony is right, Nick should have these guys on more frequently.

The "Wired" article Tony links below--

Pushes the rich v poor digital divide.

I get that, but a more honest appraisal of why Google isn't meeting the pre registration levels east of Troost is discussed from a utilitarian standpoint by the White guy in this video and the Guy from the Call.

The video explains the different points far better than the article.

Krakse and Helling might have been reporting on strip club regulations at the Democratic convention. That is much more important news.

chuck said...

Helling's reports from the convention were pretty lame.

Agree with your 7:03 post, chuck. But I think the further Helling is away from Kansas City, the better.

I think Tony hit on Dirty Mary at one time and she slapped him.

Or maybe the other way around!

I did. She is so stupid as to not be taken seriously.

Does Dirty Mary even speak Spanish? She could and probably has passed as an Anglo before.
