GUV KELLY CROWNED WINNER: KANSAS, QUÉ PASÓ???

Don't mistake that funny lead photo for gloating. 

We feel your pain.

This is . . . After all . . . Just a blog . . . Whilst KICK-ASS. Still just a blog. 

And so we offer a bit of a Spanglish lesson from the Westside of Kansas City that might or might not be helpful after Rep. Sharice Davids and Guv Laura Kelly have many right-wing conservative questioning the value of their participation in politics.

To wit . . .

TKC phrase of the day . . .

¿Qué Pasó? means more than a direct translation of "what happened." 

For smart-ass Latinos it's a way of questioning everything you believe that led to present circumstances. 

For instance . . . 

When you're pulled over to the side of the road fixing a flat . . . A "friend" might roll up and use this expression without offering a ride or help.

With correct intonation . . . It's a devastating two word question that MIGHT encourage tortured souls to shave their goatee, marry a white broad with rich parents and get a day job at Auto Zone. 

And so . . . 

We share this cultural teaching moment to offer CONTEXT to recent election results from Kansas . . .

Late Wednesday morning, Kelly sent out a victory statement. The Associated Press called the race for Kelly early Wednesday afternoon and shortly after that, Schmidt conceded. Even though he did that, there are still votes unaccounted for. The Secretary of State's Office says there are about 29,000 votes still out statewide.

"I can say unofficially we've seen approximately 975,000 votes counted," Bryan Caskey, Deputy Assistant Kansas Secretary of State of Elections, said Wednesday morning. "That still leaves tens of thousands of votes that haven't been counted yet, provisional ballots and so, that 975,000 number is the floor, and it will continue to go up."
