If in-bound links to Fired Up! are any guide, it appears that the KC Star is in the pre-launch testing phase of a new political blog called, KC Buzz. [1]
The KC Star will be the third major paper in Missouri with a political blog. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch led the pack with Political Fix [2]. Tony Messenger had a political blog when he was with the Columbia Daily Tribune, but that appears to be on hiatus since Messenger left to become the editorial page editor at the Springfield News-Leader.
We wish the Star well in their effort.
