Daily Briefs: The crucifixion that goes CRUNCH

Giving good ideas a bad name: Over at Prime Buzz, Jeffrey Spivak breaks down Clay Chastain’s shifting succession of light-rail plans with a simultaneously informative and dismissive tone that you can’t just learn from the AP Stylebook. I’m not saying it’s a whirlwind tour-de-force of hilarity — we’re talking about The Kansas City Star, not Crazy magazine — but it hits all the points I would have hit, including a bulleted list of Chastain’s idiotic light-rail propsals. Only instead of using bullets for my bulleted list, I would have used Truck Nutz. Highlights:

Spivak calls out Virginian Clay Chastain for his unhealthy interest in Kansas City, Missouri, transit issues.

He also points out that nobody in local government takes Chastain seriously anymore.

Spivak points out that Chastain’s cost estimates per mile are always ridiculously low.

Spivak comes very close to calling Chastain an attention whore, right there in the lede.

After the jump, a Truck Nutzed list of snack food deformities resembling major religious figures. Click here, or on this very valuable, very sidesplitting issue #1 of Crazy:
