(34,424 posts)I think I can still read the KC Star, not sure.
My local paper used to be owned by the family of Brownback's wife. At least then it was actually fairly informative. Now it is owned and run in another state, only barely informative and full of errors wants $14.95/month for it's 15 or so pages of mostly advertisement. So no local news for this household A terrific idea for the Capital of the state, make people pay that much money for it's crappy, barely relevant paper.
Yes, it is a trainwreck just beginning. Our Teabagger House and Teabagger Senate will push it the rest of the way over the edge. Watch how effectively a state economy does when planned by a former Reagan guy, supported by our local state heros the Koch brothers and run by and through Sam's hand picked legislature with absolutely no one to stand against it (unless you count our 30 or so state democrats in office)
I want to go on but it is no use. Most don't give a shit, the party certainly doesn't give a shit and we have been left out here to try to hold on to something that we can build on once it all finally falls totally apart. Missouri is getting the same treatment I fear, at least it seems to be heading that way. If the dems abandon them like they did us it will follow us right down the toilet.
Thanks. I will go read. I can get the articles. Apparently the KC Star is still free online. Ya know, I would not mind at all paying for my newspaper online if was actually a newspaper. Even then I think $14.95/month is robbery. <---can you tell I am simply furious with just about everything going on around here? LOL, gonna be an exercise in just about everything to get through this sane.
