The band continues to play as the ship goes down. The Kansas City Star announced Monday that about 20 folks would be losing their jobs. About the same number of jobs will go unfilled.

The announcement came as everyone was seeking shelter from the storm. It was also filled with the same optimistic rhetoric we’ve come to expect from Star publisher Mark Zieman.
