Gone Mild stays fixated on the ethics free Jackson County Legislature, which is now allowing nonprofit groups to sell fireworks to increase their revenues. Dan has his doubts. "I attend a lot of nonprofit meetings, I read a lot of nonprofit publications, and I know a lot of nonprofit executives. Never once have I heard anybody propose that fireworks sales are the solution for the funding crisis faced by nonprofits. Not once." So you're calling them liars?
My favorite haiku writing blogger, the Superficial Plaza Chick, returns to the Kansas City blogosphere.
Midtown Miscreant
takes a depressing tour of the Little Blue River, the site of a
murder-suicide last week. A homeless man found the bodies of
26-year-old Lecletia Hardy and her 17-month-old daughter, Lailah Hardy.
Police think the mother drowned her daughter and then killed herself.
The Miscreant finds himself lost for words. "Even if its someone
locally, I usually don't have any qualms about
knockin em around a little. The difference this time is that I went to
the spot where it happened. When you stand under that bridge, the hard
bleached out grass crunching under your feet, the trees barren, the
Little Blue river the only color other than the bridge, and the stuffed
toys, it suddenly seems real."
