Yesterday was busy for the Westboro Baptist Church! Steve Jobs died, giving the haters of everything a chance to drag America’s most beloved CEO through the dirt, and they won another court case involving bans on protesting at funerals. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that a U.S. appeals court has struck down a Manchester, Missouri, law banning protesting at funerals….
Nick Wesemann is cranking out serious pastry at the American. An imaginary line runs between the front and back of the house in restaurants, and there’s a long unspoken agreement that servers and cooks remain on their side of said line. But what happens when a chef crosses that line? Chef Nick Wesemann is out on the floor of the…
KCTV5 named Chris Suchan as the station’s chief meteorologist. He’s in the video above doing the “Suchan Shuffle,” which he apparently did before Carolina Panthers football games. Am I already missing Katie Horner? Categories: News Tags: Chris Suchan, Katie Horner, kctv5

Kansas Historical Society They are always frying bacon here. As kids, we were told that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, making the difference between succeeding in life and muddling along wondering why we didn’t just eat that plate of eggs. As adults, we think that the importance of eating breakfast early in the morning is subject…
MC Chris has come a long way from self-releasing CDs of geek raps and cartoon-character voices. Well, actually, he’s still self-releasing his albums and still voicing cartoon characters, but his new album, Race Wars, currently sits at No. 10 on the Billboard top comedy list, and his live shows regularly sell out. He’s now a force to be reckoned with,…

Better Taste Than Sorry This is a proper food challenge. Men search for sandwiches to eat the way that Sir Edmund Hillary looked for obstacles to climb — we’re not going to be happy until we’ve managed to finish what someone tells us is impossible. Now in recent history, that has meant creating sandwiches that are not just gluttonous but…
Lisa Irwin is still missing. On Wednesday, the 10-month-old girl’s parents, Jeremy Irwin and Deborah Bradley, spoke with the press, pleading for their daughter’s safe return.
