There's a NICE bit of reporting from Dave Helling that's going ignored because it's written SOOOOOOOOOOOoooooo boringly.
No red type, sexy bitches or exclamation points.
Let's fix that . . .
MAYOR SLY AND JACKSON COUNTY EXECUTIVE MIKE SANDERS JUNKET TO THE ALL-STAR GAME COST KANSAS CITY TAXPAYERS MORE THAN $10,000!!!
Unrelated blogger tip of the day, this post is being written while I'm giving myself some permanent hearing loss blasting Easy Lover by Phil Collins and Philip Bailey . . . I'm a horrible person.
Anyhoo . . .
Mayor Sly doesn't seem to be sweating the details of the high-flying junket and City Officials kicking up their heels on the taxpayer dime in a fashion that isn't as sessy as Rosie Huntington-Whiteley
BOTH MAYOR SLY AND JACKSON COUNTY EXEC MIKE SANDERS SAY IT WAS TOTALLY WORTH IT!!!
My question . . . Is the honeymoon over now?
Seriously, this one is pretty indefensible . . . The $18 glass of scotch is just one of the details which demonstrates that local politicos are enjoying the reign of Mayor Sly and Mike Sanders just a bit too much.
The stupid, fucking sheeple of KC have absolutely no idea of how much money gets wasted on fancy meals and drinks, most of which is spent here in KC. Just look around McCormick & Schmidt, Capital Grill, Freighhouse, etc.. Eat, drink and be merry!! The rest of you subjects can eat cake.
ReplyDeleteIn soviet missouri scotch drinks you
ReplyDeleteAdd them to the Capital Grille Club!
ReplyDeleteThese are the worst times in the history of the Jackson County and the City of Kansas City,layoffs no raises cutbacks.So what do our elected officials do they go on a junket to the All Star game and use the excuse of they are getting ready for the game here. First the ones who should have went are the police and planners not the people who have nothing to do with the actual work. And we needed Cindy Circo to go the Mayor wasn't enough. I am sure a nail tech will be really helpful on game day. The honeymoon is over and business as usual reigns with the voters being screwed.
ReplyDeleteThat is the E-Tax at work.
ReplyDeleteSanders goes to Vegas then All Star game it's what happens when you are drunk with power. Someone anyone please run against him next time.
ReplyDeleteThe $10K is a drop in the bucket compared to the 250 mil we gave the Royals to get the All Star game here. Not to mention the 250 mil we gave the Chiefs.
ReplyDeleteIt makes me so sad I could puke.
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile our neighborhoods are crumbling to rust and rotten wood.
But do not give up hope. We shall overcome them all in the next council election.
This blog is very helpful for things like that...but they need to get printed in the star's comments to be really effective.
ReplyDeleteFunk Wins.
ReplyDeleteSanders is in hiding. He left town when he heard that this was coming.
ReplyDeleteSanders mistakes are going to be his end.The ladys on the legislature are already making plans for his removal.
ReplyDeleteA link would be nice T.
ReplyDeleteCan't any of this business be accomplished via teleconferencing/ or other means that would make the travel unneccesary?
ReplyDeleteI guess Sanders still has his gambling addiction. He has to sneak of to Vegas a few times a year because he makes such a scene at the local boats. Sanders had to give Robbie Makinen, a casino representative to addicted gamblers, a no work job because Makinen knew so much about Mike's gambling.
ReplyDeleteSly was bragging about his drinking binge with Circo on the trip at the the Citizens Association Annual Meeting last week. He made is clear that she drinks like a fish and that he likes that. He was also bragging about his scotch consumption and how he learned secrets about Circo that he would "take with him to his grave."
ReplyDeleteSanders is falling apart just in time for Victor to come home and beat him
ReplyDeleteMike cannot take bad press, and in addition he is hiding from tough questions that Ms. Garza-Ruiz is bound to ask at the next public meeting of the County Legislature.
ReplyDeleteI knew there had to be a "special" reason why Sanders kept Makinan around. There is no value added there. Makinan is laughable the way he is so subserviant.
ReplyDeleteSo Sly got the Mayor Pro-Temp tanked up and got some secrets out of her?
ReplyDeleteSo, Circo sucks black cock. Who knew?
ReplyDeleteI actually can't believe anyone is surprised about this. I really didn't see the fascination with Sly James. No new ideas, no new positions, same old KC politician. Just the haves screwing the have nots. Doesn't matter whether you're black or white, middle class and average citizens ALWAYS gets screwed.
ReplyDeleteBut status quo will continue until we truly start holding these politicians accountable from day one.
I think there is a conspiracy afoot, and I do not like it.
ReplyDeletePoliticians are all the same!! Power and GREED. Nothing but a bunch of GRIFTERS.
ReplyDeleteI want to thank you for your consideration of my comments. I do not live in your city and I never will. So good by and Godspeed.
ReplyDeleteSly the sell out Mayor.
ReplyDeletethe e tax will not pass this time around when they give it the fire fighters why not the police and city employees why stop with fire.
ReplyDeleteWhere's Kendrick when we need him?
ReplyDeleteHow many of you FUCK STICKS actually got of your fat asses and voted. I'm willing to bet that 99% Of the morons that post in this blog did NOT. Losers. By the way, read the article in the Star. You'll come to see how fickle their report is, the same report you retards slurp off of Tonys balls. You guys don't even deserve better. You're cattle awaiting slaughter.
ReplyDeleteSly won with charisma against a very weak set of opponents. Reality is beginning to set in.
ReplyDeleteUh oh, here we go with another moron trying to sound intelligent. "a weak set of opponents?!" Let me guess, you were holding out for Harry Potter or maybe Kim Kardasian to run against him, right?! Please enlighten us Mr. Cronkite, who were the "strong" candidates that apparently chose not to run. You guys talk out of your ass, and you make it obvious that you have no fucking clue. Are you retards STILL wondering just wht you havnt breached the 28000 dollars a year mark? Cattle for the slaughter
ReplyDeleteHey KCMACK, why don't you stop bitching about your Mayor and perhaps spend more energy on improving your mediocre status in life. You refer to yourself as a "have not". My hero. Is the mayor responsible for THAT too. Do you teach your kids to wait for handouts from the city, is it someone elses fault if they're underachievers too, or could that somehow be your fault. Just another lazy ass civilian blaming others for their own failings. Heroic
ReplyDeleteWhere are you Byron. You were whining like a bitch the last time I read your dribbling post. "why am I being attacked for speaking out against violence,,,sniff, sniffl?!" what a pussy
ReplyDeleteAgain...Sly won with charisma against a very weak set of opponents. Reality is beginning to set in.
ReplyDeleteAnd I make closer to $228K than $28k.
Oh my God, please marry me. I'm not even gay, I've just never heard of sooooo much money before. It clearly isn't enough to buy you any class. What kind of tool divulges his earnings on a blog like this. You gonna post your bra size next Richie Rich?!? Oh, and in all seriousness, that IS more than average, but hardly impressive. You don't even need a degree to make 228k. Sorry kiddo. Keep trying.
ReplyDeleteAlmost forgot cool guy,,, who did YOU vote for? Apparently not Sly, and you've opined that the field was weak. So does that mean that someone from your Herculean tax bracket didn't vote?! Hmmm. Someone sounds a little fraudulent.
ReplyDeleteactually I don't CARE..Sly can do whatever he wants as long as his Wife stays at Home. But next time Sly should invite TKC...so TKC won't wHine about the price
ReplyDeleteI'll go by 228 (even though I make more). Couldn't vote for Sly although I know him and like him and you're right you don't have to have a degree to make 228. But I must say it again................
ReplyDeleteSly won with charisma against a very weak set of opponents. Reality is beginning to set in.
Still true knucklehead.
Forgot to admit I'm just a HS grad dummy who lives in Leawood (in one of the nicer sections.
ReplyDeleteWell, I hope you don't mind, but I'm going to refer to you as loser. Please allow me to explain. Your measily 228k is clearly YOUR financial ceiling. It also appears to be your only source of esteem. Frankly, it's kind of pathetic. I'm a young law student that would be offended if that was what I could look forward to peaking at. Furthermore, you're poorly educated. I don't care how much money you make kiddo. If you're not willing to reach further reaches of education abd intellect, you're really not worth much in my book. But hey, if you want to refer to yourself as 228 or douchebag without a degree, it really makes me no nevermind. Perhaps when you discover the concept of clout and HIGH class society, of which I AM comprised, you'll realize that my peers WIVES make more than you and still have enough self security to refer to themselves by name rather than number. I know Sly as well, much more than you. I can also say that 228 would have marked an unsuccessful year for him. But I digress. What's a douchebag thst lives in Kansas doing bitching about a public official outside of his own territory. See kiddo, this is why educations are of more value than an over inflated sense of net earnings. I come from a family of beach houses and Euro Vacations WITH us all having higher education. Please stop embarressing yourself, and strive for something more.
ReplyDeleteAlmost forgot knucklehead. Sly is the Mayor of a major city that gets invited to the Whitehouse to meet the President and invited to Harvard to speak to the student body. I'm starting to get the idea that you own a small roofing company or a used car lot. Starting to get the picture?! Money doesn't make a man, and if it did, you're not even halfway there yet. Drug dealers make more. But I'm glad you took the time to distinguish just which part of leawood you live in. Can you also tell us how embaressed you are of your small dick syndrome next since you're being so specific?
ReplyDeleteWow, the vulgar man has delusions of superior worth. How surprising!
ReplyDeleteThis post is about Sly misusing taxpayer money, attending ball games instead of addressing the violence. You always try to make it about the other commentators. You're not mature enough for this forum.
I'm sure Sly has some thoughts about the violence. Why are they being treated like a state secret?
Byron, you're such a fag it's not even funny. How many times have you said "goodbye" to this forum only to come crawling back? How many times have you said you were going to ignore me, then come back? How MANY times have I posed EXPLICIT challenges to YOU regarding the issues only to have you skirt and divert them? How many times have you waited til the early morning of following days to opine like a coward?. HOW many times have you lied through your teeth,(,,i.e. Joined navy in 74, PTSD, sly supporter). Dude, you are impossible to take even lightly. You're a fuck-tard that supposedly lives on the east coast, yet you're a "supporter" of KC politics? Let's not forget the whining, crying post about you feeling like you're being "attacked!" You couldn't make it any more obvious thst you're still reeling from the MULTIPLE ass kickings IVE handed you on this forum. And hey, you never responded to my poignant FOLLOW up post asking just what the hell I was supposed to find when "googling" Byron Funkhouser. Well cool guy? ANYONE tracking our long engagement knows quite factually that I've been asking you to impart your pitical wisdom and resolve ONLY to have you respond with NOTHING gerrmane to those very challenges. Keep killing yourself Byron. Still not very good at this kiddo. Crazy jarhead, 20. Byron- ZERO
ReplyDelete9:31. LMAO. Nice. Make it 21-0.
ReplyDeleteHey thanks 9:43. Appreciate it
ReplyDeleteWell there you have it Byron,,, bet you were hopin like HELL that I was posing 9:43 trying to bolster my OWN post. Turns out you and the " sniper" are the only tards that pull that fraudulent shit. Keep the mittens on kiddo. Or wait til 2:44 am again.
I only use my own name & never anonymous. You are full of shit. Nothing you say is true except that you think you are better than everyone else.
ReplyDeleteYour opionion is not shared:
ReplyDeleteMichael Hart here. I'm the guy who created, organized and launched the recall effort against your brother Mark Funkhouser.
First let me say that I've really enjoyed reading your comments on TKC over the past year or so. I'd also like to continue reading your comments and opinions regarding everything newsworthy and otherwise here in KC. Just because Mark is gone is no reason to sign off for now-or ever. I'll go even a bit further and tell you that I couldn't tell from your comments and opinions that you're uneducated. And, frankly, being educated really doesn't matter. Level headed, precise observations-along with the occasional mad rant-thats the stuff we're all made of.
You've made new friends here in KC Byron, plain and simple. Even if only online, you've made new friends.
I hope you'll be back to challenge my crazy rants, along with those of all the others who post comments on TKC!!
Hope to hear from you soon,
Michael Hart
You will not convince a person who wins chess tournaments that you are smarter than he is. My name is Byron Funkhouser. What's your name? Should we just call you the cowardly bully with the massive inferiority complex? You are coward!! Like all bullies.
ReplyDeleteONCE AGAIN BYRON, this is an anonymous blog site. If you equate the PRUDENT judgement of anonymity on a blog site composed of a large amount of UKNOWN humanoids, you're even dumber than I thought. NOW, you're saying that you feel bullied, well now you're even a bigger PUSSY than I thought. My hero. You're getting you're ass kicked, you've proven to be a liar, inconsistent, and NOW emotionally weak. Really?!? Navy, in 74? What kind of discharge? I'm now CONVINCED it was OTHER THAN HONORABLE.
ReplyDeleteWhat KIND of a "man" feels the NEED to post an excerpt from some OUTSIDE source meant to validate himself?!? Why hadn't your hero come to your aid on the countless ass rapings handed to you previously.
AGAIN, you wait til 24 hours later to post your snivelling, whining comments. Lemme guess, you're divorced, NO kids, NO LIFE. But at least you have MR. Hart. Do me a favor, please have HIM conduct your arguments from now on.
You don't win points for divulging your personal info Byron. This isn't an Online dating service, at least not for ME.
Last question, what's going on in your pathetic family when an failing Mayor's own "brother" finds himself supporting his primary competitor. Did you have the same sense of "brotherhood" while serving in the Navy hero? You're calling me a coward?! You've apparently jumped your OWN family's ship. Bet Moms proud! How could you possibly think anyone would see value in your concept of "support?!". Keep eating dick byron. Please refer to my previous post, and yet ANOTHER, of which you've FAILED to respond to the challenges. If you're winning these chess matches, I'm getting a picture of your opponent drooling across from you while paying more attention to his mittens.
And thanks for hilighting your insecurity with the "chess" reference. Clearly you're feeling great about your debates, right? Laughable, but also veeeery sad kiddo. C. J-23. Byron- (-)3

Really Byron?!?!?!? Still can't get over your pathetic effort to supply an outside endorsement of your snivelling self. Heroic. I'm laughing and crying for ya kiddo. Why not write a suicide note in crayon and pin it to the balls on your forehead?! Seems like losing is overwhelmingly dominant funkhouser family trait. Is THAT what I was supposed to find when I googles ya dipshit?!?
