Blogger Backtalk: Guess who loves you more

• I guess I'm wrong. Downtown development isn't a part of a speculative real estate boom that's hitting the Midwest last. All of this real estate speculation won't grind to a halt once interest rates keep on rising. No, we are building utopia here in KC. The brown people will soon stop killing each other and we can all enjoy arena football and shopping while we hold hands. Go KC!!!


• Home prices overvalued in 53 cities reports local blogger Hersh.


• Dem blog takes on Cheney's recent speech in Springfield.


• One of KC's best bloggers asks: "Can I be your friend?" This post has to be the sweetest bit of local blogger writing I've come across in a long time.


• Double Down: This local blogger spots a dumb guy giving away money in one of our local casinos.


• An ominous, dark, destructive force tears down the city. No, it's not Kay Barnes, it's a wrecking ball. Happy in Bag enjoys a show near the Midland.
