There Is No Mystery In Kirkwood About Kmail

Keith Williams and Kmail have struck again. Below is a portion of the latest diatribe from Keith:

Kirkwood Mystery # 2 (a lot easier to solve)

Kirkwood has Connie Karr's unexpired City Council seat up for election August 5. Kmail has written all three candidates via snail mail and email asking each candidate to send statements that our readers could digest and for all of Kirkwood to consider.

This community service is offered free of charge..., costs the candidate nothing but a little of his time....no stamps...no paid newspaper advertisements ....no expensive yard signs, no printing costs ... free ...... This is a community service Kmail is very proud to provide for the betterment and education of us all. The replies we have received so far are terrific and are very well articulated.

Recently we requested a follow-up statement from each candidate that we could present to you prior to the Election. Now here is the mystery...Two of the three candidates have offered materials both times we asked, but the only word we have received from the third candidate is a snail mail plea for a donation that was sent to my wife, a list of his supporters and a smiling picture of him with a flag in the background. Has Kmail gone wrong in requesting his comments? Why can't we get a response? What do we do next?

Kmail is going to hold up printing the second round of statements in the hope we can entice this one recalcitrant candidate to join in the fun. We sincerely hope that he does. The way I see it he has everything to gain and nothing to lose but your vote. We've done all we can so we will wait and see what transpires in the next few days. In the meantime, you front runners, please feel free to revise your excellent efforts recently submitted to Kmail. We will print what you offered or revise it as you wish. We thank you for your carefully submitted blurbs, we wish you well in your quest to better Kirkwood .

Keith Williams for Kirkwood and Kmail


You just got to love Keith’s newest attempt to bully yet another City Council candidate. I recently wrote a posting on Keith and his off the wall election proclamations in past Kmails. See the June 23rd posting entitled, The Coming Prognostications of Kmail.

How does Keith intend to further his election shake down in our community?

I mean he really pulls out all the smoke and mirrors in this Kmail. He proclaims that he wants statements from all 3 City Council candidates so his Kmail “readers could digest and for all of Kirkwood to consider.” Just when did Kmail reach all the 10,000 or so households in Kirkwood, Keith? Keith … your delusions are growing!

Then Keith really pours on the snake oil salesman pitch when he tries to present Kmail as a “community service … offered free of charge.” Yet, readers of this blog know that Keith has gone out of his way to exclude fellow Kirkwoodians from Kmail. You can be assured if you dare to challenge any of Keith’s all too often warped declarations you are going to be cut out of his “community service” of Kmail.

Keith then goes on to say Kmail “costs the candidate nothing but a little of his time.” But there needs to be a VERY HUGE disclaimer here. Because if you do not bow down and pay homage to Donkeith Corleowilliams and the Kmail family he is the Godfather of, then you just will not know what can show up in your bed politically the next morning. Keith’s Kmail offer is always one you can not refuse.

But, it only gets better. He goes on to say, "This is a community service Kmail is very proud to provide for the betterment and education of us all."

Kmail = Betterment and Education in our community. When?

Oh wait … Yes … the community was so bettered and so educated in a recent Kmail where our entire school board was blasted by “SH.” In a June 9th Kmail, “SH” said:

I trust none of them. They are snakes who present information w/ their own spin on it. Then they act like people who call them out on it are the enemy. I am not the enemy. I just want fairness and reasonableness. As long as people have a myopic view that those running our schools can do no wrong, we're hopelessly screwed!

SH” is clearly a person that is devoid of the quality of character to publicly address our elected school board members, look them in the eye, make this statement and stand by it. So, this person slithers over to Keith, hides behind Kmail, so they together can make their political attacks with anonymity. So, who are the real snakes in this instance?

There Is No Mystery In Kirkwood About Kmail

Keith shows his and Kmail’s true colors with garbage like this. One on hand he spins himself and Kmail as a grand community service just trying to help our community's elected leaders. But, with the other hand he holds a club behind his back in which he is ready, willing and able to beat our elected leaders with whenever Keith concludes they have not held up his Kmail Party line.

===================================================================

Now is your opportunity to give your take on Kmail. But, remember I do not post unsigned comments to my blog postings. If you can not publicly stand by it, then that is a good indication you should not say it. But, please hit the “Comments” link below and share your thoughts.

Hey Joe:

Read your comments, thanks for giving me a break this week, although I am sure I will be the subject of your next topic. Joe, after reading all your blogs, I have concluded that you are strictly media fed receiving your information from media sources instead of going straight to the source, the citizens. Moreover, you ridicule Keith, me, and the committee I represent, and you know nothing about the wonderful people who have donated their time and energy to help in making Kirkwood better for ALL citizens. You think just because you employed an African American male and took him for a haircut that, there are no race problems in Kirkwood. Moreover, you think just because you had some input of words in the dialogue meetings, attended the Meacham Park Homecoming and befriended Paul Ward that you know all about the black community. Therefore, I would like to invite you to go door to door and talk with each citizen and you will see that they all have the same complaints about discrimination, racisms and legal plundering of their community. Not just African American, we can knock on the doors of Hispanics, Puerto Ricans, Asians, and bring a picture of Paul Ward and here the reply you receive. However, If your going to real journalist then you need to talk with the citizens, because I am quite sure you have been taught not to believe everything you read.

Have a Great Day!
