Mac Mall - My Opinion

Brownback Douchebaggery

Did I really just read that the Governor of our state apologized for slavery?  This is the type of symbolism over substance that we typically get from the left, not a supposed conservative who is suppose to let his actions speak louder than his "words".

Slavery sucked, Segregation sucked and racism sucks, we all hopefully know that by now and hope to never repeat the mistakes of those that came before us. This post has nothing to do with those terrible acts, instead it is about how insincere and cowardly our elected leaders have become.

If an apology was to be made it should of been 50 or 100 years ago.  Then the people that were effected by these events could hear those words and it MIGHT of actually been sincere.  Brownback comes across as a panderer and grand stander.  

What guts does it take to come out and declare something wrong when 99% of the population feels the same way?  Make that apology 100 years or even 50 years ago when this was at its worst and people were actually divided on the issue and then you would have some guts. Stand up to a mob of people that are for segregation and make this apology and THEN it would mean something.

I am so sick of all of these after the fact and "told you so" politicians.

And why now?  Has anyone heard residents of Kansas demanding this from our Governor?  I never heard it come up during the election or one of his thousand or so abortion speeches.  There has to be something going on behind the scenes that we don't know about so keep watch on the news headlines over the next few months because something is sure to drop.

Autopsy Overkill

Can someone please tell me WHY Mary Kennedy is getting an autopsy??  If you find someone with a rope around their neck I think it is pretty clear what the cause of death was.

Donna Summer DEAD

She worked too hard for the money

Mathews gets clown suited

"Is this [vice presidential debate] about her brain power?... Do you think cute will beat brains?...Do you think she’d do better on the questions on Jeopardy! or the interview they do during a half-time?...My suspicion is that she has the same lack of intellectual curiosity that the President of the United States has right now and that is scary!">

...Douchebag Mathews

The Wire - WTF KC?

Hope does not exist in 50% of the metro.  

1.   East side adds burning bodies to its bag of tricks.  What makes this one extra special is that this was done at 630pm
2.  East side women get their asses kicked/shot by one of the areas finest.
3.  Raytown continues its downward slide with the drive by shooting of a senior citizen.
4.  Why any cab driver would venture into East KCMO is beyond me.  Murder
5.  Prospect is to murder as Olathe is to white trash. Murder
6.  Raytown is as good of a place as any to get shot.
7.  Double play tonight in the East Side.

The Guist Brothers-Swamp People

TV Legend dies today in Louisiana!!!

RIP MITCHELL GUIST

Mitchell Guist Dead -- 'Swamp People' Star Dies in Louisiana

His career might of been cut short but it will never be forgotten.  This man could catch gar, turtles and crawdads with the best of them.  His ingenuity was legendary in the swamp and my home with his ability to move house boats and build porches.  We will never forget the way he took the English language to places none thought was possible and made squirrel and dumplings sound like steak and lobster.

I salute you sir!

If you listen to any talk radio in this town then you know exactly what I am talking about.  I almost beg people not to email/txt the shows so that we don't have to hear this dodging technique.

International Brotherhood of Boilermakers embarrass KC

“While members and their families struggle to make it through this recession, our IBB (International Brotherhood of Boilermakers) leaders have been living high off the hog at members’ expense,” the letter said.

There might not be another organization in American history as crooked and corrupt as unions.  Their leadership demands that their members protest the "Wall Street fat cats" YET they are the ones bending over the working man.

Sarah Tressler Fired for Stripping

When did stripping become illegal?  You gotta love the liberal press for being about equality and openness for everyone BUT their own employees.  Way to go Houston Chronicle
