The old-fashioned way - on paper.
I want to, but it's been difficult to get one.
... a joke.
My work week's been reduced.
Yes. I don't think the Nobel Peace Prize is always a retrospective award.
I agree with President Obama when he says that the award is the call to action to address the issues confronting all of us.
I am really sick of hearing people say that he hasn't done enough yet, BUT that he's putting too much on his plate.

The Bannister Mall area is more centrally located and it needs development help more than Village West. I'm a KCMO resident, so maybe I'm a little biased. I think that the Bannister Mall area needs the redevelopment a lot more than the Legends does. Honestly, the difference between the two is phenomenal!! Please, spread the wealth, and allow other areas to grow and attract business like the Legends has already done. Not to mention, have you been to the Legends area lately? The traffic is ridiculous--how many attractions can you shove into one small space?!
In town because I’m broke and/or working.
