• KC featured on GMA again (this time, not embarrassing)

  Good Morning America returns to Kansas City tomorrow morning. This time, they're not here to broadcast our embarrassment -- codependent Mayor Mark Funkhouser and his sexual-innuendo spewing wife, Gloria Squitiro -- to the rest of the nation. Tomorrow's GMA unveils Kansas City's holiday window display at the morning show's Times Square studio. Kansas City's Convention & Visitors Association buddied up with Hallmark Cards to design the window, one of three (this year's lineup also includes Atl

• GMA unveils KC window, Cleaver's plugs

  Earlier this morning, Good Morning America unveiled Kansas City's holiday window at its Times Square studio. KC got the center window treatment because we represent "middle America, the heart of our country." Missouri U.S. Rep. Emanuel Cleaver pulled back the curtain, unveiling five giant Keepsake Ornaments (courtesy of Hallmark, which partnered with the Kansas City Convention & Visitors Association on the project), along with his own new 'do. A national audience went, Damn! That's what we c

• A review of the KC window at the Good Morning America studio

  Last week, I went to New York City. It was great to get out of town, especially since it's been a while since I've had a long vacation. As it turned out, I was reminded of KC nearly every day of my trip. I ended up staying just a couple of blocks from ABC's Good Morning America studio at Times Square, where, earlier this month, a KC-themed display went up in its street-level window. Two other windows featured cityscapes of Denver and Atlanta. I thought the KC window wa

• Daily Briefs: I may need to be kidnapped and deprogrammed.

  Despite all my rage, I am still just a salivating dog in a cage: Here's how I know that President Barack Obama's first term is going to be -- well, I was going to say "a cakewalk," but I have no idea what that is. Maybe it's actually something really difficult, like factoring equations! Plus, "a cakewalk" sounds like something from 1900 that an old person like Harrison Ford could tell you about. So, here's how I know that Barack Obama's first term is going to go down smooth, like lightly carbo
