At the risk of seeming like a party pooper despite today's overwhelming disappointment . . . The total solar eclipse was possibly the least important "news" event that has happened so far this year.
Again, a quick rundown . . .
- They're killing cops in Westport and because the officer was African-American . . . That somehow makes Kansas City hipsters feel safer as our murder count inches closer to the century mark.
- Eclipse 2017 was ruined by rain that also backed up and flooded local roadways because Kansas City politicos LIED about fixing infrastructure with GO Bond money . . . Which is actually being used for a variety of pet projects.
- There's a war over monuments in Kansas City that persists as culture warriors battle for the heart and soul of this town whilst armed dudes confront crowds of local angry ANTIFA.
Nevertheless, most of today's news was about the middle-class eating fried food whilst watching the sky . . .

ReplyDeleteKC - You cray.
I drove all the way to St Jo, and it was raining and cloudy during the totality part. 50 minutes later, there were just scattered clouds, so I finally got to use the glasses to see something that looked like a French manicure. Just a departing slice.
ReplyDeleteThe weather forecasters totally blew their forecast today. They missed the mention of RAIN before 3pm.
Glasses for sale. If you're young.
Tracy you are so beautiful and sexy.
DeleteJust think how many like Tracy where foolish enough to waste time and money for what...... nothing, that's what.
ReplyDeleteIf schools hadn't let out a cop might be alive today but I doubt it.
Just goes to show all you fools, you can't always predict what the weather will do so you best have your act together and be ready for what ever it throws at you.
Maybe you should just kill yourself 8:22 instead of trolling a dead cop.
ReplyDelete^^+1. 8:22 is a broken, busted piece of shit. This is the only interaction he gets with other people, because everyone who knows him has shunned him. Loser. Get a life.
