Re: Do Natural Disasters benefit the midwest?

Re: Do Natural Disasters benefit the midwest?

There seems to be far less downside in accepting the likleihood that manmade global warming is happening and taking appropriate action.

Re: KCMO Downtown Streetcar

For kicks, has anyone asked Yael or TMC to outline a plan (route, type of vehicle, funding mechanism) that they would endorse and would also win a city-wide election? I really want to know what this unicorn looks like. they supported the last city light rail plan fully. the problem was it wasn't bi...

Then why bother arguing with Yael on Twitter?

Re: KCMO Downtown Streetcar

Anyone else think it's about time to lay off the Star and Yael on Twitter? Lest we generate actual opposition... We must remind ourselves that this is a ground game--the Star is no good at that. No. the media has a fundamental responsibility to tell the truth about a situation. they're telling half...

Re: GO ROYALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Royals may be in a situation where no FA wants to be the first guy to sign there. Doing a trade for a well known player may have been the only way to break the ice.

Re: KCMO Downtown Streetcar

They either don't understand the game anti-rail folks have played, or they are playing it themselves. the writer in charge of transportation-related editorials is thomas mcclanahan, perhaps the star's most conservative (and anti-tax) voice. we will never get a fair shake from the editorial board, s...

He's going into a contract year and is owed $13m. The Angels might have kicked in some money, but I don't know how much.

That's a pretty bad attempt at photoshopping a non-existant shirt.
I think the guy who did it is a KU fan and was mocking MU and KSU's tendency to make commemorative t-shirts.

Re: Bancroft School at 43rd and Tracy to be redeveloped

It does. I'm not sure why they would release a rendering like that. because a rendering doesn't earn someone money. True. And I think people are already excited about BRAD PITT!!! the redevelopment of the Manheim neighborhood, so they probably thought it wouldn't matter if the rendering was SketchU...

I'm not often one to go in for AKP's radical doubt, but I'm likewise not convinced that race per se was "the major, primary motivation" for white flight from Kansas City, at least not to the exclusion of other major motivations. I'm too young to really know how things went down, but there...
