KC Street Scene from 1938

KCMO Seeks Federal Dollars for Light Rail Project

A grant, to be exact. A $25 million grant from the Feds for this 4 mile long, downtown KCMO light rail project (read: street car). But that's only one fourth of it's estimated total cost of $100 million. That works out to be $25 million per mile - for a street car line! The remaining $75 million will be raised via increased local sales and property taxes.

Good ol' KCMO; racing back to the future with 19th century technology - on the backs of broke taxpayers already responsible for…

Plan B vs. Religious Liberty

Finally -- some good news in the battle between so-called reproductive rights and religious liberty.

"How supremely ironic is it that at the same time the Obama Administration is seeking to force religious organizations to offer insurance coverage of abortion-inducing drugs, a federal district court in Washington State has ruled that the state cannot force pharmacies to dispense those very same…

ABC Television Set to Air "Good Muslim Bitches" (GMB) Television Show

(this is an updated re-post from 2011)
