  2. Refugee & Immigrant Services & Empowerment (RISE) is that like Black Lives Matter, Rainbow Coalition or Rev. Al?

    Killa City has more fucking not-for-profit groups than any city including Washington D.C.

    How about starting the Send Yo Money to Gray Back who works his fucking ass off paying these taxes in Killa City and Jackson County.

  3. Personally, I think that a "Refugee Pornography Series" is a marvelous idea! Perhaps the outlook of newer arrivals in this city will bring a fresh vision to an Art Form that has become far too stale and repetitive. I applaud the Kansas City Public Library's boldness in developing this idea and their courage in facing the inevitable criticism that such a controversial project will engender!

    What's that? PHOTOGRAPHY?
    Oh Crap, not that again?
    Who cares about that tired old boring repetitive junk any more?

    When Vikki boarded the jet and approached me exclaiming, "I believe you're in my seat!", I ask her to hold that line of thought until after we'd consummated our mile-high flight together!!!
