Good Question II: The Sequel is Never as Good

I think coming up with questions every day is going to be tough, and it's only day two. I'm screwed!

Good Question #2
Why is the NBC Action News Team called the "Action" News Team when there isn't much action in Kansas City?

Told you.

Good Question

The local NBC Action News Team (I'm not making that name up) has started a new segment called Good Question allowing the good citizens of Kansas City the opportunity to ask any question they like. I watched the premiere segment, Good Question: Travelling State Line Road. As the title implies this was the shittiest (most shitty?) TV news segment ever produced. Regardless, I think this is the most worthwhile idea to come out of the local evening news since... um... has anything worthwhile come out of the local evening news other than Ron Burgundy and The Daily Show? So, in the interest of keeping Good Question on the air, I've decided to submit a question a day to the Team.

Question #1
Why are so many prominent Kansas City businessmen (Jack Cashill - Executive Editor, Ingram's, John Calvert - Lathrop & Gage, Dr. William Harris - Professor of Medicine, UMKC, etc.) involved in the Intelligent Design movement? I thought Intelligent Design was more of a rural problem, like meth labs or tornadoes.

Your Good Question
I'm sure some of you are asking, "Twisted, we thought you were dead. Did you wake up this morning and remember you had a web site?"

The answer is yes. I recently suffered a severe head injury and was in a coma for the entire month of February. Don't you feel bad for asking such a sarcastic question? Well, don't feel too bad, because I'm lying. The truth is, I've felt extremely guilty every day I haven't posted some new little nugget on the site. I trudge through every day hoping to think of some mundane bullshit to spew across the page. This guilt has also been compounded by February being Black History Month, which fills me with emotions I didn't even know I had; love and compassion mixed with self-loathing and remorse. Some mornings I wake up thinking I'm a racist and others I wake up hoping that today is the day we can all just get along.

All that aside, I think March is going to be a great month. I will finish Aeronausiphobia, and I have another little surprise for the more devout of my readers. In other words, it may be best to Stay Holy!

xxxooo
