TEN STORIES BEING READ BY JOCOIANS TODAY.


1. While people in Missouri are dying at an increased rate, Kansas once again shows its superiority in quality of life.
2. You would think that we could get one benefit out of this crappy economy but the spandex clad death magnets refuse to quit.

3. Lezak is looking for lots of inches this winter.

4. Iranians like having unprotected sex.

5. Storming buildings with swords is back in.

6. Bush pardons John Forte. Maybe now we can get a new Fugee's album.

7. British kids don't know how to handle break ups. No word on whether or not his gf walked in and found him bleeding and decided to stab herself as well.

8. How do you accidentally flush a baby down the toilet?

9. Anyone that thought Tiger Woods was driving around in a LeSabre was on crack.

10. Teachers Aide by day, Porn star by night. I wonder how many men were involved in the PTO at that school. AND isn't it just like a bunch of women to want to get this woman fired?

YOU GOTTA LOVE THE KCMO SCHOOL DISTRICT

Just how bad is it in the little district that couldn't? Well it turns out that the kids there are now playing a game called "Lets make a deal". This game is suppose to teach the kids to say no to drugs but come one... The "educators" in that district can't even teach the kids to read.

Nice neighborhoods, nice school district..

COMMENT OF THE WEEK

This one takes the cake

killacitymo4life has left a new comment on your post "TOP TEN KCMO SCHOOLS VS PRISON": Leave our schools alone! Yes they are awful, but only because conceited JOCO citizens like yourself would rather complain than help. Go to hell!


Since it was an old post that this comment took place on I thought I would share it with you.

The stories that JOCOians are talking about today while thanking god that they don't live in KCMO.

1. You gotta love cheap gas. On a side note, where did all the Global Warming trolls go that use to send me emails regarding the price of gas? Probably trying to sell their "smart" car.

2. You have nothing to worry about here. Sure Cuba and Russia are strengthening their ties but if Obama is elected they will see us as a communist ally.

3. If you are too cheap to buy your kid a Halloween costume then you must live in KCMO. Rumor has it that Funkhouser is going to be a successful mayor for Halloween. Nobody will ever figure it out.

4. JOCO get Six million dollars to tear down blighted homes. Buh Bye NOJOCO.

5. I have never understood how homeless people have the time to collect cans, steal copper, beg for change etc... to get their drug fix yet don't have the same work ethic to maintain a roof over their head. These poor bastards OD'd in a Lawrence homeless "campground". Is that a KOA camp?

6. M16's for sale in Kansas. Nice. We can now protect ourselves for the upcoming invasion by KCMO residents looking for a better life in our county.

7. KCMO schools offering field trips into the Ghetto. How embarrassing would it be if you were a kid and one of these trips took place in your neighborhood. You would have to be a dumbass to sign that permission slip.

8. You gotta hand it to the muslims and the "honor killing" of their kids.

9. Who the hell gives an 8 year old a loaded Uzi?

10. The return of school shootings

THE WIRE

It appears that we are back on track in the metro and the effectiveness of my walk down troost was greatly over estimated.

1. The east side is finally off the bench and back in the game putting points on the board. Linwood & Gillham.

2. KCK residents seem to have a Dollar Store Robbery Fetish. Exactly how much money does one expect to steal when they are robbing the DOLLAR store? I know that the Dollar Store is the Nordstroms of KCK but come on....

3. I am not sure that 24th and Cottownwood Creek(KCK) would be safe at 12:30pm let alone 12:30 am.

4. The only click that Missouri teens are hearing is that of a handgun trigger. I for one have been wearing my seatbelt ever since DT died and never wore it before that.

5. Raytowna Beach joggers are not safe. Who knew?

6. Any time a liberal talks about voter registration you know that there is a crime about to be committed, so this story goes here.

7. A crime was actually reported on Quindaro. HOLY CRAP! I have friends on the KCK police department and they said that the reason that you never hear about how bad it really is in that part of town is due to nobody calling it in. They have been numbed to it.

8. As if the wife of the Mayor doesn't have enough problems. I heard her on the radio last week and she made my skin crawl.

TOP TEN WAYS TO SPOT A PRODUCT OF KCMO SCHOOL SYSTEM

1. Commodity trading involves glass bottles, aluminum cans and copper piping

Top Ten stories that you need to know about before speaking today.

1. After a lazy Tuesday it is good to see that violent crime is back on track in the metro area. Dead body found in house on Forest.

2. Can't we just bull doze Prospect? Seriously, nothing good ever happens on this street. Man shot at 40th and noProspects.

3. Kansas City religious leaders like sodomy. They like it so much that they paid $10 million dollars to molest local boys.

4. If a racetrack that nobody went to in the first places closes, does anyone care? No.

5. Will Prairie Village leaders finally jump on board with my plan of taking down the 18th street expressway?

6. God bless the little engine that could KCK. While they lack the numbers that KCMO has they still manage to either shoot or stab someone on a daily basis. Stabbing on "scenic" 7th street.

7. In a city full of shell casings, broken crack pipes, shanks and grenades, do they really need to worry about a smoking ban in KCK? Seriously they can't enforce the laws that they have now so why add to the list. Tell ya what, clean up the crime in the city then come back and say that you are concerned about the health of the citizens. Jackass's.

8. How fitting is it that a man that crapped all over former players health needs, dies early. Normally I would feel bad about a death but the way this guy treated former NFL players makes it difficult for me to say anything more than CYA A-HOLE!

9. How many greeting card sayings were deemed inappropriate by Hallmark while they were creating "Gay Marriage Cards"?

10. Alligators swimming in the streets of Florida.

IF YOU SUCK AT TEACHING ONE LANGUAGE

It makes all the sense in the world to take on the teaching of two. GREAT IDEA! It is good to know that JOCO kids will have less competition getting into college and obtaining well paying jobs. Stay Ignorant KCMO, we love it.

IF YOU PLAY FOR A LOSING TEAM YOU CANT COMPLAIN

You have to admire the sheer ignorance of the teachers in the KCMOSD. Here they are failing at there jobs and they are complaining. The complaints are about their free time getting cut back in an effort by the new Super to increase their productivity. These "educators" who get three months off during the summer don't feel that more time in the classroom could help students that drop out and fail at alarming rates. Whose side are these idiots on?

The fact that you are teaching in the worst district in the midwest should show you that you suck at what you do. No other school district would take you therefore you are lucky to have a job. A job that you get to keep even though you completely suck at what you do.

How much planning time do you really need? If you had 90 minutes of planning time and your performance was still below average is cutting it back to 50 minutes (the state norm) going to effect your performance? Did it take you 90 minutes a day to plan and scheme on how to get kids to drop out? Get real and get over yourselves.

2. These guys might of listened to the Mayor and dropped the guns and picked up their keys. You have to admire their effort and creative thinking.

3. If you thought that the problems that KCMO was having with drug dealers and shootings in Swope Park was bad checkout what we in JOCO have to deal with at our parks.

4. KCMO cracks down on weed.

5. Don't think we have a problem on our southern border? Mexican soldiers cross border and take hostages.

6. Doesn't Obama have many of the same views that Hugo has? If Obama wins the election this could be a sign of things to come for the United States.

7. Pelosi finds something else that she sucks at.

TOP TEN KCMO SCHOOLS VS PRISON

Is there a difference between the two?
1. Both are in old run down buildings
2. Both populations are split up amongst race
3. Both have metal detectors at the doors
4. Both are full of people that never graduate from High School.
5. Both are run by corrupt and incompetent people
6. If you get in trouble you go to solitary
7. People are released without rehabilitation/education because of over crowding.

QUICK HITS

1. The only thing worst than the "art" in the crossroads district is the pizza.

2. KCK isn't even safe for dogs...

3. This poor bastards last minutes of freedom were spent driving through KCK & KCMO. The prison scenery should be an upgrade.

4. People get killed in KCMO for just about anything including video game systems.

5. Gangbangers are now driving fuel efficient cars to perform their shootings. 54th & Highland.

6. EPA gives rednecks a price break in gas prices.

7. KCMO school teachers get paid what they are worth, finally. I still think that $0 is too much for the results.

KCMO SCHOOLS

The recent madness by the incompetent school board proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that this group needs to be dismantled. Parents and students in that district need to protest and boycott this supposed educational system until the board is wiped out. If protesting and threats of a lockout are ok for the NEA to use, then how about the students? Why the hell should they be forced to attend schools that fail that are headed up by corrupt and shady uncaring idiots?

Where the city and state have failed the voices of the community and youth can prevail.

WASTE OF TIME & EFFORT

The headline reads "school district needs significant improvements". WELL NO CRAP! Everyone knows that. The thing that everyone wants to know is what the hell are you going to do to improve it? After reading the article all that I could find was that the school district will have to file quarterly reports and put on a good dog and pony show for inspectors....

Are these the same people that are looking for Bin Laden? How the hell do 2oo people inspect the school district and think that they are on the path to accreditation?

This crap is hilarious.

THINGS AMATO COULD BE DOING

I have been following up on some emails sent to me regarding my post yesterday regarding Amato and wanted to add a little update. After going back to their website I discovered that there are several thing that Amato COULD be doing to earn his 18k. Their website currently shows over 50 job openings. Why the hell can't he step in and help out? Makes sense right? These are tax payer and not corporate dollars that we are talking about. Shouldn't this guy do something to earn YOUR cash?.

With over 50 openings, it shows that NOBODY wants to work there. Some of these jobs have been open since NOVEMBER OF 2007. What this tells me is that the people on the board are scaring away resources needed to help these kids out. Even with unemployment numbers on the rise, people still don't want to work there.

Another question one needs to ask(and this is a big one) is where is the money going that was suppose to be used to fill these openings? These are obviously fully funded positions, so by not filling them there is a cash surplus going some where. So, is the money going to pay off special interest groups OR are these positions being put on hold (in which case the should be removed from their website, legally) to pay off the 18k a month they are giving Amato? Are the kids going without teachers & counselors because a few people on the board had their feelings hurt by Amato.

If only the local media had the balls and skill to put together a real story on this corrupt group.

STOP FUNDING THE KCMO SCHOOL DISTRICT

After reading about the usage of Amato (or lack of use) by the KCMO school district I now more than ever believe that it is time to cut them off. The people on the school board have no control on their spending habits and are nothing more than power tripping ego junkies that need to go. How do you as a publicly funded school district allow a man to make 18k a month and never do an ounce of work? I don't care if Amato has to pick up a mop, he needs to be utilized. Let me say this one more time 18k a month FOR NOTHING!

Is the KCMO school district so flush in cash that 18k a month is nothing? Do the people on the school board understand that they are wasting the money of the hard working people of their state and city? Seriously, how many times do we hear that schools are under funded? We are not talking about a corporation here this is a freaking school district.

I would tell you to contact them and complain but only 3 of the 9 member have their email addresses listed (Chicken S****).

List of Cowards with no contact info:
David Smith
Ingrid Burnett
Duane Kelly
Joel Pelofsky
Harriett Plowman
Cluade Harris

Have you ever read the backgrounds of the people on the board? Holy crap! These people DO NOT HAVE THE EXPERIENCE to run a school district. Have you been to the website and read what they are responsible for? They have failed in almost every area.

Legislative and Policy Making -- F

Executive --F

Appraisal --. F

Like any other addict or junkie these people that are caught up in their power addiction need to have the funding for their fix cut off.

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT

If you live in the KCMO school district you are surrounded by illiterate morons! If you are educated LEAVE AT ONCE! This story confirms what every self respecting JOCO resident has thought for more than 30 years. For those of you that live outside of KCMO or are in the minority of educated people residing there I have put together some tips on how to handle your run ins with the ignorant majority residing in KCMO.

1. Talk slow.
2. Do not use words above two syllables.
3. If they are available utilize visual aides.
4. Do not use story problems.
5. Make them show their work or at least have a calculator on hand.
6. Do not engage in any form of communication that requires spelling.
7. Learn what the initials GED stand for.
8. Do not engage in any of the following topics; politics, economics, education (given), history, the weather, sports or current events.
9. Nod your head and make eye contact.
10. Speak in rhymes. Think Johnny Cochran, Dr. Seus, Jessie Jackson, Mother Goose.

Good LUCK!

1. Another night and yet another shooting. This time in KCK (hard to believe, I know) a man gets shot in the ass and the other guy gets shot in the shoulder. For those of you keeping track at home this is the first ass shooting of the year.

2. Update: The woman that was shot in "the other" Blue Valley died last night.

3. KCK Hooker falls asleep on the job.

4. If you take a look around the KCMO school district you see what a great job that this guy did in desegregating the school district (drove the white kids out). Now Benson wants to run for the School Board.

5. I am typically not in favor of eminent domain but seriously doesn't Sugar Creek need to start over? The people that live in the armpit of the metro should be thankful that someone is willing to buy their homes.

6. Saudi's open lesbian hotel.
