可众免费加速twitter的加速器 July 25, 2024 by Jack Poessiger

推特加速器ios免费You’ve probably heard about the big comeback of drive-In theaters…

But let’s not put the cart ahead of the horse.

For example, why DID so many of America’s Drive-Ins shut down since their heyday in the 1950’s and 1960’s?

Real estate is probably the main reason.

Drive-Ins were usually located on the outskirts of town where land was cheap. Then the growing suburbs did them in.

While many so-called “Ozoners” were still profitable, the big, fast money to be made by owners was in selling them to the developers of shopping malls in growing communities.

It was also a time when America was serviced by just three television networks typically and home video tape had yet to be invented.

And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

One of the biggest problems of course was the seasonal – as in weather – aspect of Drive-In operations in most of the country.

For example, here in the Midwest they were pretty well dependent on the relatively short span between Memorial Day weekend and Labor Day to turn a seasonal profit.

And a rainy month could wipe out their ENTIRE season.

So why now? Continue reading →

Long time, no sports talk from former WHB powerhouse Kevin Kietzman…

Ah, but come September Kietzman will rise like a sports phoenix via a midday daily podcast covering not just sports but politics and life itself.

In the meantime, inquiring minds want to know, does Kietz think the Chiefs are going to have a full season?

“I believe so,” he says. “I can’t think of any reason not to. Did anybody notice the Kansas Shrine Bowl game – the annual Kansas high school seniors all-star game – was played last week in  Topeka and they had 5,000 people there? And you’re telling me we couldn’t have had 5,000 at the Kansas Speedway last night. It holds 100,000 people, they could have easily put 20,000 in there. But the crazy people on the left didn’t/t know there was a football game last week, so it didn’t get any coverage.

Put another way, Kietzman thinks there will be live fans at Arrowhead. Continue reading →

Word that AMC Theatres delayed its reopening sent shudders through the industry…

“The entire movie industry is shook up right now,” says KCC movie man Jack Poessiger. “The dominoes have fallen, let me put it that way.”

That after both Disney’s Mulan and Twitter加速器免费‘s blockbuster Tenet were delayed.

Could this be the beginning of the end for the KC-based exhibitor?

“The beginning of the end for AMC?” Poessiger asks. “Ot the the Chinese people who own AMC? Let’s define it here, the Chinese ownership?”

Whatever…are they going to blow taps?

“No,” Poessiger says. “My gut feeling is a company like AMNC would declare Chapter 11 and rid themselves of their poorer performing theaters. That’s what norm ally happens.”

Worst case scenario?

“If that doesn’t work, I think the Chinese will piece meal it out,” Poessiger says. “AMC has too many good theaters.”

加速器TwitterThis just in…

Kansas City’s prominent sports personality the past 20-plus years – Kevin Kietzman – has settled his issues with Sports Radio WHB  – the station he all but singlehandedly put on the map – and will announce his return  to local broadcasting in the next two weeks.

Just not on the radio…

“I’m going to start a podcast in September,” Kietzman says. “I won’t give away the name yet, but I’ll let you know in a couple of weeks.”

Ready for the shocker?

“It’s going to be about sports, politics and life,” Kietzman says. “I’m going to do a daily podcast that I hope to upload every day at 10 am.”

Just in time to spare Chiefs fans and sports talk listeners the drudgery of mediocre midday radio.

Kietzman hopes to make the podcast available on Spotify, iTunes, YouTube, “I’ll be everywhere,” he says. “I called my past radio sponsors and they are all in – Buck Roofing, Joslin Jewelry, Smoke ‘n’ Fire. Five years ago  12 percent of the people on Spotify listened to a podcast every week. Now 39 percent of them do.”

And the prospect of Kietzman returning to the airwaves?

“I’d like to be back on the radio in Kansas City someday, absolutely,” he says. “If I was going anywhere else  I’d be long gone by now. We love it here.”

Kietzman’s take on Coronavirus: waaaaay overblown by the media. Continue reading →

Hard to argue that we’re living in an Alice in Wonderland, through-the-looking glass world…

That following the death of Twitter加速器免费 the country has climbed through a mirror where – like a reflection – everything is reversed…including logic.

Sound familiar?

No?

You must not be a member of the New York Times or 可众免费加速twitter的加速器 editorial boards, because that’s sure not the way they see things.

Case in point: Kansas City got off with minimal damage and death during the recent spate of widespread rioting and looting – pardon me, I meant protesting.

That includes the ios用什么加速器上twitter.

Yet, instead of the KC Police Department getting much deserved attaboys for keeping a lid on things, the local newspaper and far left leaning groups are balls-to-the-wall trying to get police chief Rick Smith fired.

Which makes no sense whatsoever to Westport businessman 推特加速器ios免费 and others who’ve seen and worked with Smith extensively in KC’s at times volatile entertainment district.

“Rick Smith is the best police chief Kansas City’s ever had in my 42 years down in Westport,” Nigro says. “And Darryl Forté is a close second.”

Forté, the former KCPD chief, is Jackson County’s first ever African American sheriff.

“Now Kansas City’s being overseen by two of the best that KC’s ever produced,” Nigro says. “Both of them have very high moral, christian values. And Rick Smith has the best open-door policy of any police chief I’ve worked with going back to 1978 – and I’ve worked with them all. Continue reading →

“The Chiefs will remain the Chiefs. Stop arguing that point. It’s a straw man.”

                                      Sam Mellinger Kansas City Star

The above quote is the final paragraph of a recent column in the Kansas City Star.

Which is around the 4th or 5th story by the sinking newspaper that was just sold at a bargain basement price to bring them out of bankruptcy.

Seems to me the main one suggesting to change the name or branding elements of the Super Bowl Champ Chiefs is the Star. 

The suggestion of course, is part of the popular movement to change the names and acts of anything that can be interpreted as having the slightest hint of so-called racism.

First off, as most serious Chiefs fans know, the Chiefs name was selected to honor former KC mayor H  Roe Bartle, who helped convince the Dallas Texans to choose Kansas City as their new home.

And branding elements like the chop, Warpaint, the war drum and arrowhead seemed fitting to help solidify the Chiefs in the hearts and minds of Kansas City sports fans.

Speaking of Kansas City and the surrounding area, there are any number of other examples of honoring Native Americans in the area.

Let’s review a few.

Shawnee Mission: named after an Indian mission just west of the Plaza (FYI, there are some horrendous stories about the man who started the mission).

The Kaw River: Named after a local Indian tribe:

Kansas City: Named after the Kansa Indians (another name for the Kaw Indian tribe).

What about grade schools like  加速器, Apache, Indian Creek and Indian Valley?

Should we tear down the landmark Indian Scout statue that overlooks Penn Valley Park?

We have能上facebook的加速器 Indian creeks and Indian Hills Country Club.

加速twitter的加速器Things are looking pretty shaky again in the movie biz…

How shaky?

“I still don’t think the movie theaters are going to open up at the end of this month as planned the way the virus is going now,” says KCC movie maven Jack Poessiger. “If they have to open without California theaters and maybe New York, Florida and Texas, it doesn’t make sense financially.”

Somewhat obviously, Kansas City has a big stake via KC-based AMC Theatres.

The movie theater biz was already on uncertain ground with 可众免费加速twitter的加速器. Amazon Prime and pay-per-view services nipping at AMC’s heels before the dreaded coronavirus sidelined theaters in March.

However even with AMC and other exhibitors poised to reopen July 30th, some of the larger movie releases have been dialed back again and may not be available…indefinitely.

“I don’t think Disney is going to release Mulan which all the movie theaters have been banking on,” Poessiger adds. “The new Christopher Nolan movie Tenet just said it would delay its planned August release and may decide to open in Europe first or later in the fall. And everybody was looking forward to it as the start up movie, so it will be interesting to see if AMC delays its July 30th opening. I have a gut feeling that it may affect Mulan which is slated to open August 21.

“There are other movies, but those two were the big ones. I think they’ll move them again, but as to when they do open, depends on the virus. Originally Mulan was set to open March 27th.”

Why not just release them on pay-per-view like Universal has done? Continue reading →

Hearne: Star Subscribers ‘Horrified’ By Bogus Police Chief ‘Hit Piece’

Posted on July 20, 2024 by 推特加速器ios免费

How much longer will the powers that be at what’s left of the once vaunted 可众上Twitter的加速器 put up with lame, over-the-top editorials and biased reporting?

If that sounds like a mouthful, trust me it is.

The once-thoughtful, local news organization has veered so far left – in a market that as one comments section person noted is at the very least, equal parts middle-of-the-road to conservative – that even free thinkers like longtime movie critic Jack Poessiger can’t stop scratching their collective heads.

“Did you see the editorial today that they want KC police chief Rick Smith to resign?” Poessiger says. “I tell you what, if you read that editorial – and it’s a long one – it’ll make you want to throw up. It’s so anti-everything that most traditional Americans stand for. It’s almost anti-police – even though technically it’s not -although it reads that way.”

Not only is it wrong-headed, it doesn’t bode well for a dying newspaper in a dying industry, struggling to remain afloat and coming out of bankruptcy and a dozen years of hemorrhaging readers, news staff and revenue.

Aside from laying waste to the tenets of traditional journalism, the Star’s new extreme political views and style of “reporting” has cost it dearly in terms of readership.

“I would certainly think so,” Poessiger says. “Especially with the older demo which is their bread-and-butter, because people that are younger don’t read the newspaper.”

Hearne: Kansas City Star Braces for New Owner Tribulations

Posted on July 15, 2024 by Hearne Christopher Jr.

Hard to imagine things getting much worse at the Kansas City Star…

Then again, between coronavirus, bankruptcy, declining readership and revenue, an over-the-hill readership, and finally, a new hedge fund owner almost certain to lay waste to what’s left of its already diminished news staff –  how could it not?

Make no mistake, the past 10 or 12 years have been brutal on newspapers and the Star.

Somewhere in the neighborhood of 90 percent of the 2,000 plus bodies that worked at the newspaper prior to publisher Art Brisbane bailing for the corporate wilds of California in 2006, are long gone.

But to paraphrase the band Bachman Turner Overdrive, they ain’t seen nothing yet.

County Executive Frank White’s take: “The people elected us for these decisions”

That said, I think that the elected legislators should not make these kinds of decisions, as they tend to bow to social pressure.

That’s question is looming larger by the day, especially as organizations like the Lawrence Journal World and Kansas City Star approach the point of no return as paid print advertisers fan out in different directions in search of customers under the age of 65.

At this point in time, daily newspapers seem to be surviving largely on the basis of advertising inserts – primarily grocery stores on Wednesday and sundry retailers such as 加速器, 可众看推特的加速器 and the Franklin Mint on Sunday.

In terms of what are known as display ads, it’s not what one would call a pretty picture.

In today’s 加速器Twitter, most of the ads range from retirement communities, walk-in baths and erectile dysfunction ads for oldsters, bank ads and classifieds for pets and death notices.

Hearne: Ex Journal World Sports Editor Takes Bullet in Boston

Posted on July 7, 2024 by Hearne Christopher Jr.

Tom Keegan:
Goes job hunting on Facebook

It’s not easy being a print journalist….

Not these days and not that anybody much is grieving for them, given the quality of what passes for reporting in the current idiom.

So it comes as little surprise that not two years removed from his gig as sports editor at the Lawrence Journal World, Tom Keegan bit the dust again going into the 4th of July weekend – this time out at the Boston Herald.

“Really enjoyed writing (a) column for the Boston Herald while it lasted,” Keegan lamented on Facebook. “Such a great sports town, so many great Herald teammates. Laid off Wednesday morning. Would like to stay in the business, so any leads appreciated.”

Easier said than done these days, although some of Keegan’s fans here in Lawrence are hopeful that he can land some sort of online sportswriting  gig.

That said, it wasn’t like Keegan set the world on fire here in Jayhawk land.

How could he?

The list of critical reporting sins anybody could get away with in Lawrence is infinitesimally small.

Not to restate the obvious, but it goes without saying that the 11th Commandment – Thou shall not criticize Bill Self or KU basketball is high atop the list of journalistic no-nos.

“Does Kansas have a clean basketball program?” read the headline atop Keegan’s October 16, 2018 column.

‘It’s reached the point where the issues that need to be addressed with the Kansas basketball program have grown beyond what’s provable and what may or may not lead to an NCAA violation,” it begins.

“It’s bigger than that. It boils down to a central question: Does Kansas believe it has a clean basketball program? Not are they just doing what everybody else is doing. Not can it stay out of trouble. Those are separate, smaller issues.

“Does it believe it has a clean basketball program? Not does it want to believe it has a clean basketball program; rather, does it believe it has a clean basketball program?”

The unwritten, unstated obvious answer being, hell no. Continue reading →

可众上Twitter的加速器“So much of left-wing thought is a kind of playing with fire by people who don’t even know that fire is hot.”

George Orwell

The English poet W.H. Auden went to Spain in 1937 at the outbreak of the civil war there.  He intended to volunteer his services as an ambulance driver on behalf of the left-wing government (the “Loyalists”), fighting against the right-wing insurgents led by General Francisco Franco (the “Nationalists”).

He was not accepted in the ambulance unit – he claims because he was not a Communist- and spent a couple of desultory months there before going back to England.  He then wrote a poem, “Spain, 1937”, which suggested that as a politically committed author one must be prepared for the “conscious acceptance of guilt in the necessary murder.”

Many interpreted this to be a glib rationalization of the atrocities committed by the Loyalists’ side, e.g. 12,000 churches burned, six thousand Roman Catholic clergy executed, including 12 bishops and 283 nuns (some of whom were tortured and raped before they were killed). 

One person who took particular offense at this phrase was George Orwell, who actually did fight for the Loyalist cause, being gravely wounded in the process.  To add insult to injury, Orwell and his wife barely escaped Spain because the Stalinists in the Loyalist government wanted him executed as a political apostate, i.e. supposedly a “Trotskyite”. 

Orwell, who knew a thing or two about totalitarian regimes, said the reason Auden could speak so flippantly of the acceptance of murder is because:

“He has never committed a murder, perhaps never had one of his friends murdered, possibly never seen a murdered man’s corpse.”

He goes on:

“Personally, I would not speak so lightly of murder.  To me, murder is something to be avoided.  So, it is to any ordinary person.  The Hitlers and Stalins find murder necessary, but they don’t advertise their callousness, and they don’t speak of it as murder; it is “liquidation,” ‘Elimination,’ or some other soothing phrase.

Mr. Auden’s brand of amoralism is only possible if you are the kind of person who is always somewhere else when the trigger is pulled.”  Orwell’s Essay, “Inside the Whale”, excerpted in Welded Vertebrae, March 2013.

Someone who should understand exactly why this sort of sophistry is so dangerous is Julian Zugazazoitia, the current director of the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art. 

Julian’s grandfather and namesake was a journalist and Minister of the Interior of the Loyalist government in Spain at the end of the civil war, which Franco’s Nationalists won in 1939. 

(Zugazazoitia was a long-time member of the Socialist Workers Party, a Marxist entity but one opposed to the Stalinist faction that worked to liquidate fellow leftists like Orwell in the waning years of the regime.)

Hearne: Speaking of Sports…KU, T-Bones Make ‘Fake News’

Posted on July 1, 2024 by Hearne Christopher Jr.

A pair of riveting announcements, certain to thrill sports-mined types…

First, the Kansas City T-Bones “baseball team” will not be playing the 2024 season.

Shocker.

Frankly, it would have been a bigger surprise if they announced they would play.

Indeed, KC’s most inconsequential professional sports team has accomplished little over its 17 year lifespan other than ducking out on rent payments to KCK and praying for the Royals to  return to their last place ways or a Major League Baseball strike.

All of that said, let’s give the Bones a moment of silence and move on to…

Vaunted KU basketball coach Bill Self, who after spending the past year or so on what amounts to death row – as in being booted out of coaching for a year or more – has decided that his best defense is to go on offense and threaten to sue the NCAA.
