Kansas City is shaking free of our suffering Royals -- at least, in the world of fake news.

Does it get any better than The Onion making up quotes for Mayor Funkhouser?

Observe:

"It was time to move in another direction," Kansas City mayor Mark Funkhouser said at a press conference. "There were some vested incentives that would have automatically kicked in if the Royals had finished higher than last place, or won more than one championship in their existence. But we just couldn't afford to make another mistake like that 18-year extension back in 1991."

I wasn't saying that I couldn't do it, I was saying that if a story says that something happened "again" it would be nice to have links to the prior occurrences.

Suggestion: when you say that The Onion clowns on the Royals "again" it would be nice to have links to previous clownings. Thank you.
