I can't believe its not bigger news that your federal government is currently operating with a surplus.  Wait, what?  It's true.  In September with tariffs and more, the treasury took in $198 billion dollars more than it spent.  Imagine what October will be like with a government shutdown.

  Meanwhile, Kansas City, Mo is $100 million short on it's budget but has approved $22 million for a temporary jail to house 100 criminals during the World Cup.  You can't make this up.

   KCI's terminal gets ta new name.  My buddy Cato has a nifty idea to taunt the No Kings rally folks this weekend.  North Kansas City's mayor puts out a statement about the Royals building a ballpark in Clay County and Lee Sterling of www.paramountsports.com has your pigskin picks.
