I'll be happy--very happy--when the newness of Oklahoma Joe's Barbecue is over.
I'd like to get back to more people liking more than one barbecue joint in town.
This week, they're being covered yet again. This time by The Pitch Magazine. (link below).
I mean, come on, Joe's is good, sure, but this whole trendy, citywide zeitgeist that they're the best right now is far too lemming-like, for me, anyway.
As I've said here before, I hate trends and trendiness, period, but I especially dislike food trends. They're the worst.
Can we not think and act as individuals?
Are we not capable of that? Of independent thought?
Between its newness and the fact that Anthony Bourdain likes them and put them on his TV show ("No Reservations") and a local food blogger came out and said they were "best" on Mr. Bourdain's same show, it makes it "their time." And it's cool, too. I love the idea that it's in a gas station. So sure, I get all that. Fine.
I'll just be glad when all the new wears off and the hoopla is over.
The only thing is, it will all be replaced with some other new, "next" trend.
And it will start all over again.
In the meantime, you can find me at Arthur Bryant's.

Entertainment overnight
Someone needs to tell everyone who puts these out that we want to see the dancers and choreography.
And not the audience.
This applies to the TV reality shows, too, of course.
Heads up, networks: we don't want or need to see the audiences, sitting there, watching.

Remember this guy?
It seems Matt was born to wealthy parents or something as his life is now consumed with traveling the world for these videos.
The lucky duck.
The lucky duck.
Another reason America is fat
Pringles.
Yep.
No, not just the fact that we have them but, for one, the fact that we have this one more snack---among a long, long list of snacks--that we also happen to eat between our too-large, fat-laden meals.
Here's what I found last evening on these things.
Pringles at Wal-Mart--the regular ones--are $1.50 per can.
No big deal, right?
Far less expensive than regular potato chip bags, I have to point out.
But the low-fat Pringles?
They're a whopping $2.58 per can.
And get this.
The can is smaller, to boot.
I ask you, who's going to buy those?
Who's going to purchase the low-fat can of Pringles, in an effort to either lose weight or keep it off?
It just doesn't make sense.

The world can no longer afford the "luxury" of war
Think about it.
There have been wars.
"And rumors of war" as the saying goes, down through time.
Virtually every nation and every race in the world had their war or wars.
All centuries, at one time or another.
Lots of decades.
Kings and leaders of the world could, would and did just send their soldiers into the world to fight one another.
But now, we've got pollution, far too many people, far too few resources, not enough food and an array of problems we must address, instead. Additionally, we have natural disasters of all types, all around the world. Last year there were huge fires across Russia and Texas, this year they were in Colorado and New Mexico, along with at least 4 other spots here in the States. There are repeated, recurring floods, of course. Right now, Duluth, Minnesota just got hit hard but places like India and Bangladesh have been drenched far worse and far more times, I believe.
And that's even if you do ignore climate change (or global warming), let alone if you include it.
With the numbers of people in the world, it surely must be included that we--humankind, humanity--can no longer afford the luxury, if I may call it that, that is or was war.
Far too many people are dying already.
Disease, starvation, malnutrition, lack of medical care, lack of water--there are any number of things that are taking far too many people in the world.
The fact is, this world and humanity can no longer afford to spend our financial savings on war and weapons of war.
The answers to people's problems are in front of us.
If only we'll put our resources there, to take care of one another.
We humans must be more important than business and businesses.
Right now, in too much of the world, we put businesses first and that is a recipe for extinction.
Some internationally-known leader of the world today needs to stand up and say as much, too.
And the sooner, the better.
The way too much of the world is living now is just not sustainable.

The things you learn on T-shirts
It seems we can be so profound on t-shirts, can't we, as a society?
People want to be either funny or profound or both and there it is, right on the front of their collarless, short-sleeved, 100% cotton shirt.
I saw one the other day that I agree was true. It said, boldly:
"Success is a choice"
And I think they're correct, whoever "they" were (the one wearing it).
But the flip side of that?
I contend that failure is not always even remotely a choice. Not at all.
I also think that to assume that is to assume ugliness on those who didn't "make it", who didn't "succeed."
Things go wrong for people It happens all the time.
Wrong choices, wrong turns, wrong assumptions. You can never know.
It could be the right thing but at the wrong time and there you are--a failure.
This is what's wrong in giving too much credit to people who have "succeeded", first of all. It's dangerous to give too much credit to the successful, for fear of building up one huge ego.
The danger of assuming bad things about the failed is that it dooms them to moral ugliness and that's grossly unfair.
Finally, it's important that "success" is absolutely not defined as having lots of money and/or things, objects, property and properties.
We either know this or should--that success isn't just about money--but it all too frequently gets lost or forgotten, especially here in materialistic heaven America.

Quote of the day
"I spent 33 years & four months in active military service and during that period I spent most of my time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street & the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism. I helped make Mexico... safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti & Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys... I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street. I helped purify Nicaragua for the International Banking House.... I brought light to the Dominican Republic for the American sugar interests... I helped make Honduras right for the American fruit companies... In China... I helped see to it that Standard Oil went on its way unmolested. Looking back on it, I might have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents." --US Marine Corps General Smedley Butler. Author of "War Is A Racket." At the time of his death, the most-decorated Marine in US history.

About this health care reform Republicans hate...
Facts:
"The Republicans have made the individual mandate the element most likely to undo the President’s health-care law. The irony is that the Democrats adopted it in the first place because they thought that it would help them secure conservative support. It had, after all, been at the heart of Republican health-care reforms for two decades.
The mandate made its political début in a 1989 Heritage Foundation brief titled “Assuring Affordable Health Care for All Americans,” as a counterpoint to the single-payer system and the employer mandate, which were favored in Democratic circles. In the brief, Stuart Butler, the foundation’s health-care expert, argued, “Many states now require passengers in automobiles to wear seat-belts for their own protection. Many others require anybody driving a car to have liability insurance. But neither the federal government nor any state requires all households to protect themselves from the potentially catastrophic costs of a serious accident or illness. Under the Heritage plan, there would be such a requirement.” The mandate made its first legislative appearance in 1993, in the Health Equity and Access Reform Today Act—the Republicans’ alternative to President Clinton’s health-reform bill—which was sponsored by John Chafee, of Rhode Island, and co-sponsored by eighteen Republicans, including Bob Dole, who was then the Senate Minority Leader.

KCMO and KS not on "Cities with Worst Tap Water"
No, neither Kansas City is on this list but Omaha, Nebraska is--and comes in at number 7 (see link below).
What they had to say about it:
Forty-two chemicals were found, with 20 exceeding health guidelines and 4 exceeding health standards. This included agricultural pollutants like nitrate and nitrite, industrial pollutants like arsenic, water treatment and distribution byproducts and more.
Apparently, Smithville (MO) is too small a town to include on their research because if it were big enough, it would surely be there.
Oh, yeah.

June 15: Apparently the official start of the big "Gas Price Increase for Independence Day"
Did you notice that?
It was exactly, I believe, June 15 when gas prices jumped at least 10 cents per gallon.
Just in time for the Independence Day holiday.
I swear it happens annually.
The lowest price I was aware of was $3.19 per gallon (in Lee's Summit, with ethanol) and now it's $3.39/gallon.
It's disgusting.
There oughta' be a law.
(Said only half seriously).
But still, part serious, too.

Cutting taxes? Again? More?
Fareed Zakaria just pointed out on his CNN news program GPS that the George W. Bush tax cuts during his administration, besides being for the wealthy, were the deepest cuts in the history of the nation and the growth during that period was the worst economic growth since the Great Depression.
To politicians--as he said--would you stop, stop pandering to the American public now, with the promises of yet more tax cuts? Could you, would you, please, be statesman/statespeople for the the nation's good, for the love of pete? We're desperate out here.
Please?

Most Americans have no clue this weekend figures big in their lives
I imagine if most Americans--coast to coast--were interviewed this weekend, they would have no idea an election is going on in Greece this weekend.
Asked, too, if they thought it could or would have much impact on them or their lives in any way, I'd think most would give a resounding "no."
Quite the opposite is true.
Greece is voting Sunday (imagine that--voting on a weekend) on their leaders. The outcome will likely be huge for Greece, of course, but for all of Europe and European Union... and even for the US.
One government would have them stick with austerity so they can get the money they need from Germany, Angela Merkel and the rest of the EU.
The other would have them do away with what they see as the crushing austerity, walk away from the money and likely walk away from the EU itself.
Let there be no mistake, this weekend is huge for what takes place internationally for the next several months, if not years.
The thing is, though, too, no one can really predict the outcome of the vote, for sure, but of whatever happens, either. No one can really say, with any real authority, what "best path" there is for Greece, let alone the EU and the world.
It's been said--by more than once source, too--that if this doesn't go well, it will make the 2008 financial collapse pale by comparison.
Once again, Margo Channing's quote from "All About Eve" becomes all too relevant:
"Fasten your seatbelts, it's going to be a bumpy night!

That cannot fly.

Note to KCI Airport Authority: WE DON'T WANT A DIFFERENT, NEW AIRPORT!!!
I'll say this until I'm blue in the face:
KANSAS CITIANS--AND PEOPLE FROM THIS REGION--DON'T WANT OR NEED A NEW, DIFFERENT, AIRPORT
The latest on our airport (from The Star):
New plan calls for different site for new terminal at KCI
How did this happen, anyway?
The people of Kansas City were never--never--asked if we wanted a new, different airport for any reason, yet the powers that be in town have already decided it's happening and taking place.
You know why this is happening, too, right?
The airlines are paying what they see as too much for airport security so they want a new, more traditional airport where we'll all go through the same security checkpoint.
That's the real issue here, folks, don't kid yourselves.
It isn't as they have claimed that the old building needs replacing and that it's too expensive to redo.
That's nonsense.
It's a bold-faced lie.
It's about the airlines and their costs, period.
We need to raise heck about this. We want our airport left alone.
Let's start now.
Write to your city councilman now and tell them---
WE DON' NEED NO STEENKENG NEW AIRPORT.
We don't want it.
Heck, the way this city has spent money, we likely can't even afford it.

The chutzpah of the Catholic hierarchy

The further these situations go on for and with the Catholic Church, the more stunningly stupid they seem to be.
Did you see this, latest one? It's a beauty:
Catholic Church Lobbies Against Allowing More Sex Abuse Suits
"Reports this week that decades-old sexual abuse allegations at the Horace Mann School probably can't be prosecuted because of New York's statute of limitations raised new questions about why the state only gives victims up to five years after their 18th birthday to report childhood abuse. While lawmakers in Albany have tried many times to relax laws on filing abuse complaints, the Roman Catholic Church has been quietly fighting efforts to change the statute of limitations in New York and throughout the country. They say it's a matter of principle, but it could also have something to do with the ensuing lawsuits potentially costing the church billions.
More than 30 states have already managed to ease laws on reporting child abuse, but the New York Times reports today that religious officials are pushing against similar efforts in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Massachusetts. The church has even hired lobbying and public relations firms to help their cause in New York and Colorado. In the latter, parishes have actually handed out postcards to parishioners and asked them to contact their representatives on the church's behalf.
The church argues that the statutes of limitations exist to prevent unfair cases in which many of the witnesses are dead and evidence is hard to come by. Religious leaders are pushing hardest against "window" laws, in which victims are given a year or two to file suits no matter how long ago the alleged crime occurred. It's likely they're afraid of a repeat of what happened when California passed such a law in 2003. In just one year, 550 sexual abuse lawsuits were filed."
It's just shameful.
Once again, here's a case of the Catholic Church hierarchy--men--trying their best to protect that same hierarchy instead of putting the children and their protection and best interests--their safety--first.
It's just disgusting.
Once again, I call on Catholics, for what it's worth, to stand up against this effort by their church to protect the leaders instead of the students and children.

Congratulations, Kansas City!!
You're not on the FBI's "Most Dangerous Cities in America." (But St. Louis, is. See links, below).
So... what, if anything, do these "top ten" cities have in common?
Anything?
Bueller?
(Side note: We have also, it's been decided and declared, been listed as the nation's 20th "Most Manly City." Wth? See link below for this, too).

An ugly tidalwave, hopefully not headed here
But I--a lot of us, actually--fear otherwise.
Headlines from the news in the last 24 hours:
Times-Picayune cutting half of newsroom staff (New Orleans)
Advance cuts 400 employees statewide, more than 100 from Birmingham News
Not only is this not good for the newspaper staff, of course, but it's not good for these cities and it's absolutely not good for the citizens.
The shape of things to come, I fear.
Here's hoping people all over the world will continue to read what our government representatives, our government and the corporations and wealthy of the world are doing to us so we know what to do to fight for the working man and woman of the world.
This isn't headed in a good direction, that's for sure.
It's as writer/author/historian David McCollough said, "An Uninformed Citizenry Will Be Fatal to Democracy."
