Was there anything much, wildly compelling in yesterday or today’s newspapers? Eh…
Hey, strawberry prices are falling, we learn. Anybody out there tracking that?
Joyce Smith tells us that the City Tavern in the so-called Freight House District – a tepid disappointment from the get-go – will finally close April 17th and reopen as a….
Would you believe, Vinennese restaurant? Believe.
That’s a pretty humongous space for a specialty cuisine, by my measure, but what do I know?
Word on the street two years back was that Rod Anderson may have been thinking of rescuing the City Tavern by moving the Hereford House . Shortly before the fire, that is.
KU Booster Fund Gets More bad News
At what point might a basketball ticketing scandal in KU’s Williams Fund begin pinching the athletic department in the wallet? That indeed is the question.
It all stems from KU’s controversial points system that booted loyal, but less well-heeled KU basketball and football fans from long held seats to make way for the Fat Checkbooks.
Now two of the top dogs overseeing KU’s pay-for-play seating arrangements have been summarily ousted.
The unexplained mystery:

At least in my copy of the star I believe it is a Viennese restaurant. If you had read the first sentence of the story, “Sausages, schnitzels and strudels will soon replace seafood and oysters..” you might have figured it out. I guess you answered your own question.

At least Hearne will be quick to print a retraction/correction.

Apparently, Hearne doesn’t read anything more than the headline – and misreads those. V

Hey – there’s a schnitzel in my Bok Choi! Hey there’s Bok Choi in my schnitzel!
And why exactly does Vietnamese cuisine require a smaller restaurant space? Is it because the people are smaller? Nice racism there.

I KNOW WHAT THE DEALS ARE.
MONTHS AGO…NOVEMBER OF 2009 I WARNED YU
ABOUT THIS GUY.
AS AN MU ALUMNI I COULD TELL THAT THIS GUY
WAS GOING TO CAUSE PROBLEMS.
AND NOW LOOK WHAT’S HAPPENED. YOU KU FANS
LOVED THIS GUY WHEN HE PAID UNDER THE TABLE
TO GET A BCS BOWL.
NOW LOOK AT WHATS GOING ON…THE MANGINO
SCANDAL…THE SCHOLASTIC SCANDAL…KICKING OUT
THE FAMILY WHO’S NAMESAKE IS ON ALLEN FIELD
HOUSE BECAUSE THEY WOULD NOT PAY THE
BIG BUCKS FOR SEATS…STOMPIING ON ALUMNI LIKE
THEY ARE WORHTLESS…
WE WERE EMBARASSESED BY THE ACTIONS OF
ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT OFFICIALS AT MU…NOW
YOU DIDN’T LISTEN TO ME WHEN I SMELLED
WHAT WAS GOING ON…NOW THE DEPARTMENT WILL
BE UNDER INVESTIGATION.
LISTEN READERS…DISCIPLES…FANS….AND
FOLLOWERS…JOJO KNOWS ALL…HE KNOWS A
BAD DEAL WHEN HE SEES IT.
LISTEN TO ME…GET RID OF THIS GUY NOW.
BEFORE HE MAKES A MOCKERY OF YOUR SCHOOL
AND COSTS YOU SCHOLARSHIPS AND MONEY.
SELF IS AN OUTSTANDING COACH AND MENTOR.
TURNER WILL BE A HONEST GUY BUT A LOSER ON

“Vietnamese” good one Hearne Aprils fools all month…a real comment buster.
Whats going on!
Market goes up a half point every day…climbing that wall of worry..In spite of the worst economic conditions in 50 years. I know market is a discounting mechanism but WOW look at the headwinds out there.
$87 OIL
Business is hunkered down over uncertainty in Health, Taxes, No Hiring–.
American Productivity is going thru roof…
Driving around KC the vacancies are really starting to mount in prime real estate locations.
Hearne maybe you can get one of the Tobin’s to teach us how to grow a garden.
How ironic that the Perkins…went after Joe College a local screen printer….meanwhile running a ticket ponzi on the alumni? What a zoo…how many posse’s and entourages..does it take to play in the Top 10? Jayhawks have GREAT tradition and Karma..lets keep it.

bSHCLOZ…
don’t worry…the democrats and republicans
have both scammed us out of our money…they
realized with bushs term coming to an end they
had one final chance to rob the american
treasury blind. And it wasn’t just the republicans…it was the dems too.
Don’t worry…oil will be $3.50-$4.00 a galoon
this summer…why..the oil companies want to
screw the democrats. The democrats rightly
believe we have to get off foreigh oil and
we can creaqte millions of jobs with
clean energy. The cats at the oil companies don’t
wamt that so they raise gas..america goes into
the shitter and they get their gas guzzling
cars still being made.
And don’t worry about jobs…there are lots of
jobs out there. People and companies need help.
IN 5 years there won’t be enough people in the
job market to fill all the jobs. Millions hav
e retired…taken early leave…stopped working
and when the economy roars back there won’t be
enough people to fill all the jobs opening.
It’s coming. IN fact there will be huge shortages
of workers in key industries that will hurt
our economy.
And bschloz….oalmost 2 years ago I blew the
whistle on lew perkins. I said this guy was
going to cause problems…and look whats happening. When will the alumni of ku wake up
and see what this guy is doing? I love the
university of kansas (except when my team plays
them in football/basketbll) but they are an
incredible rep for this state and I don’t want
to see happen to ku what we saw happen at mu.

Jo Jo is way right. The faster Perkins gets fired the lesser the pain. But there will be pain either way.
