I wish he was back.
ReplyDeleteTo be honest he wrote a great story and is right. Hey he can admit his mistakes plus a Funkhouser with a job.
ReplyDeleteTrue, and he doesn't post predictably inane comments to TKC, either.
ReplyDeleteSure this will send the dipshit in to a anger frenzy.
ReplyDeleteJust remember nutless it's a free speech zone as you so like to point out.
You know, Funkhouser brought Kansas City longer winters, hotter summers and probably caused the financial crises that has mired the world for the past five years. But he left the airport alone and he didn't build a toy train.
ReplyDeleteTrue Dat
ReplyDelete@6:55 All good points but his real downfall was having a wife that even TKC wouldn't try to screw.
ReplyDeleteOh, the dipshit can post all the predictably inane comments he wants. It just appears we're not allowed to respond, so I question whether this is really a free speech zone.
ReplyDeleteAdvice from a Funkhouser is like shit from a monkey. Inevitable, unstoppable, and thrown at you for the entertainment of its' creator. Duck!!!
ReplyDeleteMayor Funkhouser was a good Mayor, the only problem was he wasn't black and in KC that's a must these days.
ReplyDeleteBetter not say anything bad about a Funkhouser on this blog or you will get kicked off.
ReplyDeleteNobodies been kicked off, & his 'job' is writing a blog.
ReplyDeletei see the blog's snitch is out and about today. You suck Byron. Ass clown loser.
ReplyDeleteWhen KC files for bankruptcy will all the civic elites admit his warnings were correct?
ReplyDeleteHow does the crybaby type 'job' with straight face?
ReplyDeleteByron sucks, he is not worthy of mention.
ReplyDeleteThat Funkhouser clan is butt ass ugly. One can only wonder what Byron looks like. Ass no doubt.
ReplyDelete'snitch'?? Just make shit up ...
ReplyDeleteIf you keep repeating the same lie over & over again, eventually everyone will forget its a lie. I don't call my self Polar Bear, SUPERDave, Flint Lock. Your names gives exactly the impression you were hoping for.
Shut up Byron. We have had enough Funk in KC to last a lifetime. GO AWAY.
ReplyDeleteHe's still here and making typically inane comments. But we must not criticize. Oh, no.
ReplyDeleteIf Flint and Pootie have not been kicked off, where are they?
ReplyDeleteByron, speaking of lying, you said you'd get off this blog when your more successful brother was no longer mayor of KCMO. Remember that promise? You are the queen of lying.
ReplyDeleteByron=Snitch crybaby
ReplyDeleteCrybaby lives a lie.
ReplyDeleteGet the Funk out II
ReplyDeleteHere Tony goes again with his left wing bias calling Funk Man the worst mayor in modern times as if there were no slyman. Damn Tony this isn't "The Emperors New Clothes". Cut the shit with your screw ball left wing bias and look at the train wreck in office right now.
ReplyDeleteHe is admitting in the article he had no clue how TIF worked when he became mayor. Yet he criticized TIF to no end while running. Funk is what he always was. A professional student with a 90 IQ, who cant do so he teaches.
ReplyDeleteLeft Wing my ass
ReplyDeleteOne thing I'll say about Mark, his parents loved him a lot more than Byron.
ReplyDeleteByron is like the shit in the toilet that won't flush away.....he just keeps popping up. he won't go away and just keeps smelling up the place.
ReplyDelete3:55. LOL
ReplyDeleteMayor mcfunky and his funky bunch.....good vibrations,,,,sweet sensations.....
ReplyDeleteAnon 12:57
ReplyDeleteBingo!
that whole family is eat up with something...just wish they would vanish into the woods with Big Foot.
ReplyDeleteDon't get excited Crybaby, that's not what he said. You have zero credibility around here. ZERO!
ReplyDeleteThe blog community knows what you are...
Byron is shit stacked 2 meters high.
ReplyDeleteShhhhhhhh the SNITCH is in the room.
ReplyDeleteWhen you smell Preparation H and Vinegar he is close!
ReplyDelete3:31: Can you blame them? Talk about someone who can't get over it. Here he is, on welfare and in a different state even, still tearing his brother down. What a loser. Who can blame Mark for cutting him loose 35 years ago?
ReplyDeleteIn the unedited version of the article, Mark had one other bit of advice:
ReplyDelete"If you're going to be a parent, sometimes it's good to have only one child. Anything beyond that, and you're just asking for something to go horribly wrong. Just ask my father."
Mark Funkhouser was a good Mayor. He just wasn't liked by many. Like most introverted people, its tough to get along with a crowd of extroverts. Overall, he was a good Mayor. It was his wife that killed his political career. He should have just left her. She's a loose cannon.
ReplyDeleteThis town was a happnin' place when Pendergast was running things.
ReplyDeleteSay what you will, but there was booze a plenty, everybody got laid and the trains ran on time.
Duh ... trains! Uh-oh.
