Re: Kansas City Officially Has A New Mayor - Mark Funkhouser

Ha ha.....this is what you get for voting for this sad, pathetic looser.  Everyone who voted for this clown should be ashamed.   FUKY will go down as the worst mayor is KC history.  I've tried to give this joker the benefit of the doubt, but he continues to pull this shit.  Holding his internationa...

Re: My Inaugural Experience

It amazes me that with 4 days notice of the impending Hurricane Katrina, people in NO just couldn't afford or didn't have the means to evacuate the city.  However, I'm sure a good majority of these same people were able to  make it to Washington DC to watch the Inauguration for several days.     Ou...

Re: Chiefs

The Browns, since I was born in Cleveland, but I am talking the old Browns, not the new ones, so when they moved to Baltimore,the SB victory was bittersweet, but  I did like the fact that they beat the Raiders and Broncos to get there!
