The Star‘s Mike Hendricks wakes from nap, scratches head about KCMO election, returns grumpily to sleep

The Kansas City Star‘s Mike Hendricks has published another of his “nothing matters and what if it did” complaints, this one a column slugged “In the ‘burbs, does it matter who’s KC’s mayor?”
From his soft perch on the minivan beat, he observes: “Over the past couple of months, the Kansas City mayor’s race has come up exactly zero times in day-to-day conversation with suburban friends and acquaintances who work outside the news media.”
Telling!
Hendricks then hedges a little: “But on the off chance that the subject does arise at my daughter’s soccer game or at the grocery checkout, I put the question to friends, co-workers, community leaders and the two guys who faced off in Tuesday’s mayoral election.”
Wait — Hendricks leaves his house?
