Blogger Backtalk: Fight the future

- Local blogger Emaw shows us what Mission Mall might look like one day . . . just like Star Trek, there are no Mexicans in the future, not even working at the Orange Julius stand. And to me, that signifies that this plan is nothing more than a pipe dream with some great artwork. Very much like every other construction project in the Greater KC area.

- Deaths' Door posts some actual quotes taken from Federal Government employee performance evaluation.

- Another consumer goes unconvinced. Local blogger Faith: "I certainly hope that American Century takes that damned poster down soon. Creeps me right the fuck out." Lance overlooking us all could be the worst local advertising campaign in the history of this town.

- A local nurse offers sympathy for fellow workers on the nightshift and offers a story of "Some naked black woman with an NG tube hanging out of her nose was screaming the song "God Bless America", and ranting about fighting for her freedom of religion."

- Local blog Happy in Bag notes that the training of "ambassadors" of Kansas City could simply be a waste of time. That is, unless we're talking about training people to mug tourists like those pesky Brazilian kids or the brats from Oliver.

- The X-man reveals the true cost of the crystal bowl. "It’s going to be a freaking nightmare."

- A local blogger cops to what probably wasn't even a petty crime. More like an act of civil disobedience. "Today, I stole a parking spot from a police officer."

- And finally, this local blogger offers two great photo galleries for your viewing pleasure.
