• What has Charles Koch learned? Just as much as John Goodman

  Esquire's "What I've learned" feature asks prominent people about the lessons they've learned in their lives.  The latest batch includes one for every state. Esquire chose Wichita billionaire Charles Koch to represent Kansas and actor John Goodman for Missouri. Koch, a $17-billion man, leads Koch Industries, America's largest private company. So what's he know?Every company wants smart people. Well, Hitler was smart. Stalin was smart. Mao was smart. If somebody's evil, the smarter they are,

• JoPo didn't totally curse the Cavs and ruin the NBA Finals ... yet

  Joe Posnanski damn near ruined the NBA Finals -- at least the championship game NBA Commissioner David Stern fantasizes about -- LeBron vs. Kobe -- when he rubs one out. The finals that Nike assumes you want to see. JoPo may have doomed his hometown Cleveland Cavaliers and King James by writing a cover story in the cursed Sports Illustrated. The Orlando Magic led the Cavs three games to one going into last night's win or go home game five.Just a few days before game five -- and after getting fl

• Talk about bad timing. Right to Life night at the K is next Friday

  The Kansas City Royals will host the St. Louis Cardinals next Friday night at Kauffman Stadium. It won't just be any other night at the K. It'll be Right to Life night at the K."Come cheer on the Royals as they play the St. Louis Cardinals and support the Missouri Right to Life," says a line on the Royals' Web site promoting the June 19 night game. The timing seems awkward given that not even three weeks will have passed since abortion provider George Tiller was slain in a Wichita church. But th

• Royals remove Right to Life ticket sales from Web site

  Late last week, the Kansas City Royals were still advertising Friday's showdown with the St. Louis Cardinals as a way to "support the Missouri Right to Life." The link for what we were calling "Right to Life night at the K" disappeared shortly after we ran this piece Friday morning, about the awkward timing of such a promotion in light of the assassination of abortion provider Dr. George Tiller. Besides, as a part-time season-ticket holder told us, it's just bad business to mix politics and spor

• Tickets almost gone for Anthony's Night at the K

  Only a few tickets are left if you want to join Anthony Spino III and his family this Friday to watch the Royals beat the despised the St. Louis Cardinals during Anthony's Night at the K. Join the downtown party at 5:30 p.m. when dinner and cocktails will be served at Anthony's Restaurant. An hour later you'll board a shuttle "stocked with cold beverages" for the drive to the stadium to catch Kyle Davies' opening pitch at 7:10 p.m. The group's tickets are in section 145, right along the right-fi

• Missouri Right to Life claims the Royals 'discriminated' against it

  I didn't make it to Friday night's Royals-Cardinals game, but I've been wondering about the fallout from the unofficially named "Right to Life night at the K."A week and a half ago, I wrote about the objections of  season-ticket holder Scott Hartley (who just happens to be Missouri state Sen. Jolie Justus' district aide) to an ad on the Royals' Web site urging fans to "come cheer on the Royals as they play the St. Louis Cardinals and support the Missouri Right to Life."After the story appea
