The numbers go up the numbers go down,
it was repoted as 100%, then 78%, .....
Funk looks to be ahead, but he is waiting to get the call
before he claims it
Mayor Charlie Wheeler showed up.
Big appearence

Funk Wins Primary
If history holds, KC GENERALLY follows that leader.
Brooks, God love him has made no REAL contribution
to the City Council. He is an adored member.
BUT Kansas City needs someone who understands the issues fully
and is willing to make changes.

WE NEED THE FUNK

FUNK
is leading kind big, but it is early
Come to the FLEA MARKET

Turnout update

At noon, here's the turnout skinny:

Turnout is high in the 4th District corridor, as expected. Council races may be driving turnout as much as the mayor's race. High turnout here is believed to be good news for Mark Funkhouser, Jim Glover, and, to some degree, Al Riederer.

Lots of electioneering and signs outside popular polling spots.

Turnout is light on the east and south sides. That could be a problem for Al Brooks, although some expect a later-arriving turnout in his strongest wards.

Northland turnout appears about average or just below. John Fairfield has apparently not motivated a huge turnout on his behalf; also, Becky Nace needs help from the north (where Jeff Roe has contacts) to have any chance at all.

There are minor glitches with the voting equipment -- some of the touch screens are still struggling. Most voters, though, are comfortable with the machinery -- less so with new polling places, for some.

Mayors Forum, Final one



Liberty Memorial, people love phalic momuments

Katherine Shields, once again, is the only one that has actually done anything and having a Green City is the answer to every thing. From reading to children to knowing about crime, boy does she.
Alvin Brooks believes parents have to buy school vouchers. He is running a Bon Dole campaign, elect me because, I have been around forever; but Dole did things
Jim Glover holds his stance that fixing potholes fixes everything.
Chuck Eddy, thinks things in Kansas City are going well.
Becky Nace, is the only one who has voted for anything.
Stan Glazer, had to defend his idea for the Observation wheel, his numbers are a bit off, but if he can get private money to pay for it-- Why not? He deserves a special office. He is always good for some laughs and light moments, intended or not. All but offered an endorsement to Funk.
John Fairfield I have no idea what he had to say, he was talking about something, but....
Albert Reiderer just always seems pissed off at somebody or something; Funkhouser a good bit.
Janice Ellis wants to audit everything, and cites her Compact for Kansas City, and how well Atlanta has dealt with.......One day she may be mayor.
Henry Klein has progressed a good bit during this campaign, he should run for City Council first, and be a good candidate down the road.
Mark Funkhouser, laughed at the candidates ignorance, as he tends to do a decent bit, he was even offered a possible job by Stan, Glazer said he would hire Funk to run the City if elected.
After half the candidates talked about needing more AUDITS, he rolled his eyes and suggested that the Candidates actually read the 200 something audits he have written.
Clearly I favor Funk, I volunteer for him; but this city is in desperate need of somebody that understands the finances and dept that Kansas City.
There are candidates with potential; we actually need somebody who is ready NOW.

Oh, and John DiCapo must have had something to do again, Yet to appear at a forum
what is the point of him running, just to say he once ran?

That's it for today

VOTE ON TUSEDAY,

America really wants a President, like Tom Dobbs.
Just look around, when Bill Maher, Jay Leno and Jon Stewart are the sources of peoples news.....
When Blogs are influencial....

Bring on Franken

Wag the Dog was on TV.
If you haven't seen it just watch the News.
The Tail wags the Dog, we, the public are the dog
the Politicians are the tail-- well and their lies.

So tonight I was watching Chalie Rose

As interesting as that used to be, it bas become rather painful of late. Seems too often, maybe since he was put om 60minutes a few years ago, he seems more interested in having a guest and interviewing himself; but as usual I digress.

So Charlie had the out going Iranian embassador to the U.N. he happened to point out that the serial numbers that were noted by the top notch Weapons Intelligence officers in the US, were in a method only used in the US.
Far beit for the Bush Presidency to lie, but Javad Zarif pointed out that only in the US is the month used ahead of the day for dates. ie in the US it is mm/dd/yyyy, the rest of the world dd/mm/yyyy.

So not that I am a full fledged believer in the film Loose Change, look it up. This administration sure gives reason to wonder

Feb 20th Mardi Gras

18 and over, Kids behave.
8-1 ish

More details to come

The door covers costs and Donations go to the Funkhouser Campaign.
Donations will get you in the door.

A FEW QUESTIONS,
1. Would you take your shirt off in front of this man?
2. Would you let him touch your bareback?
3. Would you want this Guy as your Mayor?
*(For those who don't know Chuck Eddy is a Chiropractor/Councilman running for Mayor in KCMO)

If you answered you answered yes to any of these, have a good day Ms. Eddy

I believe this is a picture of Chuck Eddy, rewriting the TIF Report, in dry erase.

Stan glazer, "Candidate" for Kansas City Mayor, has backed a new attraction for the Kansas City River front. He wants a $100 million Observation Wheel-- which is projected to draw up to 2 million people a year. This works because Stan is a side show act in Kansas City Politics. Hey, I think he makes it fun; but a guy that considers 40% of the last election a victory, when no one else ran against the incumbent Kay Barnes,....... well that comes out to about 8,000 people out of 450k, voted for him.

Stan and Clay Chastain should just open a Mi-Town amusement Park, I voted for the damned Gondola, just to stick it to the City. I think Chuck Eddy should join in with some BUMPER CARS-- Cause he is a big fatty, but worse he is a slimy Bastard

Make Your Move



Mark Funkhouser has moved into the #2 spot in the polls for Mayor
of Kansas City. If that holds, still almost a month away.
Funk and Al Brooks would go into a run off at the end of March.

Vote- get informed

Al Franken running for Senate
Why not?
Most people think politics is a joke anyway.
And what makes him less qualified than a guy that was running a insurance company or any business. Reminds me of when Jon Stewart was on Crossfire and they Tucker Carlson attacked his standing; because he was only a comedian.
