Let it Roll

Today, the only thing worth reading in the massive waste of paper they call The Star is all of the insider scoop regarding the rolling roof proposal over Arrowhead. I won't pretend to understand anything more than the fact it's a dumb, antiquated idea and only a diehard construction cheerleader would support such a thing.

As far as the "perks" for Jackson County residents . . . that's nothing more than propaganda. The Chiefs fans all come from the nearby white suburb (utopia) of Johnson County. Discounts on season tickets aren't really worth it unless they allow me to personally swipe them out of the hands of all the JoCo peeps who already own the bulk of the seats.

As far as the "use" tax . . . I don't know if this refers to smokes, liquor or the infinitesimal amount of porn that isn't bought and sold on the Internet. I would think for the kind of money they're asking we could all get to "use" some of the Chiefs cheerleaders.

Anyway, I almost want this thing to go through . . . it could be a kind of monument to how horribly "Pwned" this town is by corporate interests.
