You told us what you thought the biggest story of '08 was.

So, what will be the biggest story of '09?

Will it continue to be the economy?
What about the Middle East?
Or, how about the Chiefs as they take a new direction?

It could be anything. And, usually it's something we can't imagine right now. So, what do you see in '09?

Okay - probably not a surprise.

President-elect Barack Obama has won another contest: He's been named Time magazine's "Person of the Year" for 2008. The magazine has named Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, French President Nicolas Sarkozy, Gov. Sarah Palin and Chinese director Zhang Yimou as runners-up.

Do you think the mag made the right choice?

And, so it's finally happened. The Chiefs have gotten bad enough that Carl Peterson is resigning. Are you glad? Are you mad it took this long? What do you think is the future of the Chiefs now that Carl's gone?

A new report says the Chiefs may move training camp to St. Joseph, Missouri in 2010. Where do you think the Chiefs should train? Is moving from River Falls a good idea?

So, the Senate has decided not to pass the bailout for US automakers. Workers are singing a sad tune and lots of people could lose their jobs.

The government seemed to easily hand out billions to financial companies who are still laying off thousands (see Bank of America).

So, what's next? Do you support what the government's doing? What do you think should happen? Are you scared for your job?

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) -- A state senator switched parties Thursday, four months after Gov. Kathleen Sebelius and a legislative leader helped engineer his defeat in this year's Democratic primary.

Sen. Mark Gilstrap, of Kansas City, said he is breaking his family's 160-year-old ties to the Democratic Party because it developed a "radical liberal tilt and intolerance of dissent."

Thank you for your patience.

(AP) Sen. Sam Brownback is raising concerns about discussions to bring some of the terrorist detainees being held at Guantanamo Bay to Kansas.

Brownback, a Kansas Republican, opposes any effort by the administration or Department of Defense to bring detainees to Fort Leavenworth.


What do you think? What should happen to these detainees?

It's funny what a difference a year makes. Last year, MU fans, like myself, would be absolutely giddy about heading to the Big 12 Championship with the possibility of only two losses.

We'd be loving the idea that our Tigers could beat those Jayhawks in front of a packed crowd at Arrowhead.

Ahhhh - but last year it was #1 vs. #2, center stage, primetime, and College GameDay was in town. There was the chance for a National Championship hanging in the balance. You couldn't escape the excitement.

And, this year, there's no chance either team will head to the Biggest Game of Them All. There's no primetime, no ESPN hotshots in town.

So, I want to make sure Tiger fans don't get complacent. GROWL! This is a great season and it will be even better with a whoppin' of those 'Hawks. So, Go Tigers!

This year there's a lot to be worried about. Many people are concerned for their jobs, their future, and their families.

But, let's stop for a minute and think about what we're thankful for. Please share with us why you are giving thanks this Thanksgiving.

I'll start...

I give thanks for my family being together for the first time in a year.

Now you...
