The Call Paper is really the joke of the day and in coming years it’s store front will shudder. Lucille Bluford must be rolling over in her grave knowing that The Call Paper cannot find good talent with objective facts and stories to keep them afloat. Instead, their stuff being a one-sided, political opinion rag and it’s readers are hardly qualified to filter the minutia.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10849017.post-13936144016930386142019-03-16T11:58:55.124-05:002019-03-16T11:58:55.124-05:00Generally I like Eric.

The language could be slightly better, but are we to get so wrapped up in language that we just do the same old and expect things to somehow get better. <br /><br />I suspect Clay would try real engagement in new ways, and to not be so hindered in PC that he would not even identify a major part of the problem. <br /><br />Do you think Cleaver and the Sly Gang have got this in hand. Blacks should want justice, they should also want self improvement. If we get both maybe we have a shot of actually improving something.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10849017.post-73585451281981328542019-03-16T11:55:08.273-05:002019-03-16T11:55:08.273-05:00So far Clay is hitting the notes of change better ...So far Clay is hitting the notes of change better than any of the other candidates.

In the end the smell of things like the airport and Sanders scandal have the public realizing what a self dealing mess has been underway.<br /><br />It is good we won't have Bob Bennett posing like he has invented an amazing new thing. His cheerleading pony show only works on govtech. The real tech industry would be like "what?".<br /><br />Clean house, keep cleaning house, the sustainability officer, the head of the ATA, the port authority, include a slap down of the Chamber for acting without integrity. The platform to run against Jolie is not so hard to figure out.<br /><br />We want clean government, super attention to basic details. Competition and not to be in bed with a few of the usual suspects who are doing some backscratching for favors. Jolie and Crooks Hardly Fakin don't seem like real contenders to change much of anything, they are the inside players that annoy the public so much. Same Burn em Mac and KCPL and their beholden rubber stamp gang.

It's not possible to ascertain the percentages of the perpetrators because only around 50% of KCMO murders are ever solved.<br />The numbers define the issue rather clearly whether make-believe "journalists" like Wesson like it or not.<br />And, as usual, the rest of the stellar list of mayoral candidates have nothing to say about violence and homicides at all.<br />The mindless treadmill continues and Wesson is trotting along with the rest of the usual suspects.<br />It never changes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10849017.post-43159465119528214982019-03-15T05:59:29.966-05:002019-03-15T05:59:29.966-05:00Vote for ClayVote for ClayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10849017.post-36418806688221288842019-03-15T05:37:23.427-05:002019-03-15T05:37:23.427-05:00Can eric name any of the six white people killed b...Can eric name any of the six white people killed by the racist black murderer Brandon Howell?
