  1. Good stuff. Shanin does a service to all of Kansas City by talking about the elections without all the hype the cable news stations engage in.

    As we have watched this election cycle, Shannon's biases have become more and more apparent, and now his strident right-wing devotion has bloomed in full.

    His frantic rush to change the subject as soon as the subject of the President's rude behavior was a "tell", but the most blatant example shown was his adoption of the Extreme Right's jargon, when he said "...now that Kansas has a DEMOCRAT Governor,,,"!

    Mister Shannon, as much as you and the rest of the Far Right may wish it was otherwise, it is the DEMOCRATIC Party!

    So, if you want to maintain any of the ragged shreds of your journalistic credibility, stop acting like a minor-league Rush Limbauh with his teeth brushed.

  5. 5:54 comment With respect, if you wish to be taken seriously, you should actually spell the name of your target correctly. The name of the Ruckus host is Mike Shanin.
    And you also failed on Limbaugh.


    Just like a member of this Ruckus panel, I'm a "freelance writer/consultant"! That means I leave comments on this TKC blog.

  6. Kansas did not experience a "blue wave". With the exception of 9 counties, KS was solid red. When looking at the election map, it is crystal clear the urban population counties went blue, while all out-state was red.

    This illustrates the importance of the Electoral College in presidential elections.
