We'll be taking a bit of a break until the first full week of the new year. From our entire team on the KCMO Morning Show - thanks so much for giving us some of your time in the morning. We know you've got a lot of options on your radio every morning. That you choose us means more than you know! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Some reading before we leave you...

Cinnamon Stillwell is one of the lone voices in the San Francisco Bay area supportive of Michael Savage (heard live on KCMO Talk Radio 710 every week day from 5PM to 8PM.) She's written a column for the online version of the San Fransisco Chronicle we thought you Savage fans should read.

City Manager Wayne Cauthen is beloved by downtown development and bureaucrats within city hall. But the fact remains the city council agreed with Mayor Funkhouser that Cauthen was not meeting Kansas City's citizen satisfaction - and the majority of the council voted to drop the current contract.

Now the Pitch has uncovered this story.

Bottom line, the mayor can elect to not support the re-hiring of Cauthen after April when his current deal expires. The only way a city manager can stay on beyond their current contract is with the mayor's sponsorship of a new proposal. The city council has no say in the matter. This isn't a firing, it's a lack of support beyond his current deal. Cauthen's out. Get over it.

No one anywhere will tell you the story Tim Carpenter of The Capital-Journal told - except us. After a hyper-obsessive campaign to discredit Phil Kline and elect their hero Paul Morrison - the media has nowhere to hide on this one.

Grab a cup of coffee, maybe a bite to eat. This reads like paperback novel.
