We start this Sunday with best wishes for Kansas City Mayor Sly James on his 60th B-Day.
Social media alerted us to this happy occasion and the Mayor's Wikipedia page provided confirmation.
Mayor Sly hasn't made many visits to Kansas City's Westside for any reason beyond the merely ceremonial but if he showed up today we'd sing Las MaƱanitas for him and hope that he'd share his smile with this neighborhood that he's mostly forgotten.
Las MaƱanitas - Vincente Fernandez (English Lyrics)
More importantly . . .
LET'S REMEMBER THAT KICK-ASS TKC TIPSTERS BROKE NEWS REVEALING THAT MAYOR SLY WOULD REALLY LIKE CAMPAIGN CASH FOR HIS B-DAY!!!
I guess Kansas City's Mayor asking for B-day money isn't out of character for this town.
In the two years since Mayor Sly has been in office he has given Kansas City:
- Higher Taxes
- A Seriously Damaged Bond Rating
- And A Legislative Agenda That's Almost Completely Focused On Toy Trains And Eco-Devo Work While Completely Overlooking Public Safety.
So, while most Kansas City residents don't have $100 to be "friends" with Mayor Sly on his B-Day . . . I'm hoping this TKC Tribute makes this day just a bit more special for Kansas City's Mayor and possibly brings (yet another) smile to his face.
That's sweet.
ReplyDeleteMaybe a card would have been a better idea.
Just sixty? It seems like he's been mayor that long, but who's counting!
ReplyDeleteSafe bet that the developers and promoters will be hosts.
ReplyDeleteI'll give him just what I gave Obama....a nice big stinking TURD!
ReplyDeleteMoney is tight and times are hard, so, here's your fucking birthday card.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Sly!
I don't even live in KC and I'd damn near give him a hundred to QUIT!
ReplyDeleteI say we take a collection and buy him a huge Stink Pickle.
ReplyDeletePay him to quit. Best idea yet.
ReplyDeleteWill KJ compose a birthday rap?
ReplyDeleteIt's the present he deserves but I doubt they talk to each other that much. Really typical messed up family if anybody bothered to do some research.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, now go fire the city manager and department directors.
ReplyDeleteNobody hates this Mayor more than me. Best wishes on eating cake while going into cardiac arrest.
ReplyDeleteWhat? ... you say he's been focusing on EcoDevo?
ReplyDeleteWhen ... has anything good happened?
