Oh boy Mayor Funkhauser I believe you are going completely off your rocker.  When are you going to be in the news, and you alone and not your precious Gloria?  You have topped it all now.  You are suing your own city that you are the mayor of?   Am I reading the article right? 

Are you trying to become a comedian?  If so I think it's possible that you  might have a good shot at it.  Sooner or later you are going to start appearing on comedy shows disgracing this cities mayor.  They could make a great skit of you and Gloria on MadTV or SNL or Comdy Central.

What the heck is wrong with you?  "Oh my gosh Gloria it's been over a week since we appeared in the news, so lets have a news conference at our house and tell all the reporters we are going to sue the city" says the mayor.  "Oh what a great idea, Funky!  I miss going to your office and riduculing people so much" says Gloria.

You two are completely off your rocker!

Hey by the way Mr. Mayor I just wanted to let you know your office is at 11th & Oak in downtown Kansas City.  Maybe you should call a cab to take you there since apparently you don't know where it is.

There's an article all about this earthquake on Fox 4's main page currently if you would like to remember more about it, but I'm curious to know with this being near the Pakistan / Afghanistan border:

Are any US troops nearby?

Did it perhaps kill any of the Taliban?

Or perhaps Al Qaeda whacko's?

Maybe some of those mudslides shown and mountains falling caved in on top of Bin Laden!

1st off the 10 million dollar question is, if Shirley Riggs has tried to flee with her children 3 times prior to this one, then how did she have an unsupervised visit to begin with?  Does anyone believe if this was  a guy in the same situation they wouldn't be in jail?  She might just get her time on this one, but now it comes out that she is trying to get into the Cherokee nation in Oklahoma and then she would be able to avoid state laws.  I don't know much about the Cherokee nation, but I'm willing to bet they have morals, which is why she ended up in Washington and not in Oklahoma like many thought.  Just maybe the Cherokee nation told her now way, get out, go away, we don't want all the police around and so on.  This will be very interesting to follow an see what the outcome of the charges are this time around.

Also Fox 4 why do you have pictures of her art work on your site?  OK, I'll give you a pass, maybe it could be said if you seen anything like them it might help in finding the kids, but now that they are found, she needs no fame for her little angels.

The parents of a 7-year-old boy who broke into an Australian outback zoo and fed a string of small animals to its resident crocodile are likely to be sued after police said the boy was too young to be held responsible.

A turtle, four western blue tongue lizards, two bearded dragons, two thorny devil lizards and a 1.8 metre (5.9ft) adult female Spencer's goanna were fed or led into the jaws of a 3 metre, 200kg (440lb) saltwater crocodile named "Terry."

Security camera footage at the Alice Springs Reptile Centre showed the smiling youngster also bludgeoning to death a small blue tongue lizard and two more thorny devils during a half-hour of breakfast-time havoc last Wednesday.

"The fact a 7-year-old can wreak so much havoc in such a short time, it's unbelievable. In my day he'd get a big boot up the arse," centre director Rex Neindorf told Reuters by phone.

"Police found him, but in the Northern Territory here he can't be accountable if he's under 10 years of age."

Neindorf said many of the animals fed to the croc were rare or mature and would be difficult to replace.

The boy was unknown at the centre and had "clammed up" when questioned by police on what sparked the rampage, he said.

Neindorf said he was now looking at suing the parents of the pint-sized terror, who could easily have been taken by Terry himself as he fed the croc from a small landing at his enclosure.

"We'll be looking at suing the parents, who were supposedly in control of him at the time," he said.

Ever since 9-11 I think we all know you can't park at the curb of airport and leave your car there.  Isn't this kind of in the common sense category.  It's kind of the same rule as leaving your luggage unattended while in the airport. 

Hello!  Mrs. Funkhuaser have you been paying attention to the rest of the world.  We have terror threats galore, car bombs, bombs in luggage.  terrorists on airplanes.  Apparently your not paying attention.  Did you know that telling the bell hop your the mayors wife doesn't mean anything?  Maybe if you tell him you're the mayor next time that will work for you.

Nice job by the KCI police not taking the b.s.!
