Battleground
Anyone opening a newspaper, turning on a television or listening to the radio is aware that presumptive presidential candidates Barack Obama and John McCain are making hard charges to win Missouri.
In the Kansas City area, the campaigns are putting in work, just in different ways.
Telling the definitive KC mob story
Finding Terence O’Malley deep in the bowels of the Kansas City Central Library is not unique.
Rockhurst readies for ESPN televised tussle
The last two Missouri Class 6 high school champions meet on national television Sunday.
The 2007 champion Rockhurst Hawklets meet 2006 champion Blue Springs South at 11 a.m. at Blue Springs South. The game will be televised live nationally on ESPN.
“It’s (national TV) got its plusses and minuses,” veteran Hawklets coach Tony Severino said. “For the kids, parents and the school it gives us national exposure. But it is taking high school football out of its context.”
Run benefits Parkinson’s
The Helen Gold Run/Walk, the largest contributor to Parkinson’s disease research in Kansas City, is back for its seventh year.
Goals high for Kansas City’s most heralded rapper
Worcester, Mass.; Sioux Falls, S.D.; and Fargo, N.D., may not seem like places with a hot bed of fans for Kansas City rapper Tech N9ne.
But Tech N9ne says there are areas in those markets where he “kills.”
Tech N9ne has gone from a favorite on the Kansas City scene to national recognition, especially with the recent release of his new album “Killer.” The album helped Tech N9ne stay atop the indie music charts for weeks and helped him appear on the traditional Billboard charts too.
MEMO: Passing over Sebelius big mistake
Savvy political consultant and commentator Dick Morris wrote in his nationwide e-mail newsletter Sunday that Obama’s failure to name Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius as his running mate was the biggest mistake of his candidacy.
I totally agree, and not because Sebelius is our governor. I agree because Kathleen Sebelius would have filled the gender gap. That is why we predicted in this column in June that Obama would select Sebelius. We were wrong, but so was Obama.
New Democratic chairman aims to keep peace, votes
