Bannister Mall

Quick thought here. I just read a story titled "Bannister Mall Blight Attracts Crime". Didn't a fully functioning Bannister Mall attract crime as well? Stop blaming the building and start looking at what the neighborhoods around that area have turned into. It doesn't take a decoder ring to decipher the gang signs spray painted on the over passes and street signs.

IT IS TIME TO SECEDE FROM THE UNION

That's right folks it is time for the great civilization known as Southern Overland Park to leave the North behind in order to form a more perfect union. Let's face it what does Northern OP contribute to those of us in Southern Overland Park? Not much besides Taco Via and Oak Park mall.

I say we make it official at simply become Blue Valley. I will have more on this later today because if you don't think this is possible or even currently being thought of by those in city hall you are wrong.

QUICK HITS

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.

FEEDBURNER ERROR IS NOW FIXED

I want to thank those of you that brought to my attention the fact that my blog feed was set on summarize. I have gone in and corrected the error so the entire feed is now available.

GOT WORMS????????/

This story is to freaking disgusting to comment on.

FINALLY!

If you have been watching the Olympics then you know who this chick is. Well she finally won a gold medal. Congrats Hy-Vee smile chick.

QUICK HITS

1. THEY KILLED KENNY!!!! Not really, but they did find this guy shot on South Park today. Leave it to KCMO residents to tarnish the name of a cartoon.

2. When you open a legit business on Troost you will die. Two shot, One dead.

3. Drunks drivers Beware!

4. KCK kids molested by school bus driver. They need to dump this guy on Quindaro at 2am in a klan outfit.

5. Kansas City is an attractive place for vacationing murderers. The chamber of commerce needs to take advantage of KCMO's high murder rate in order to attract more murderers and thugs. Dirty money is still money into the local economy.

6. IF YOU ARE A GUY IN THE METRO READ THIS NOW.

7. Yesterday I was at Target and thought the exact same thing as the woman in front of me shouldn't of been wearing a jogging bra and capri jogging pants.

8. HOLY CRAP! A local media outlet talking about "gangs". I just looked out my window and saw Rosie O'Donnell flying.

9. It's 2008 and we still have cattle thieves??? Missouri sure is a progressive state.

10. Meet Yoda the Cat.

WHAT I AM LISTENING TO THIS WEEK

There is not near enough music talk in the local blog scene. It seems that everyone has been swept up in the elections or the slightly retarded mayor. Time for a change of pace. Each and every Monday you lucky bastards will be treated with the Top Ten groups that I am listening to this week. This will all make more sense once the new website is launched (2 weeks I hope).

1. Grand Funk Railroad
2. Old School E40
3. Velvet Revolver
4. Clipse - ReUp gang
5. Dropkick Murphy's
6. Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Take
7. David Banner
8. Taj Mahal
9. Tech 9
10. Blues Brothers Soundtrack - Greatest soundtrack of all time.

WEEKEND CRIME RECAP

If ever you needed proof that the weather dictates crime in the metro this weekend is it. It was such a nice weekend that even the gang bangers, rapist, random shooters, home invaders etc... took the weekend off. Which leads one to ask the following question. What do these guys do with their down time? Do they go to Home Depot with the family and pick out tile for their bathroom? Were they home cheering for the womens gymnastics team?

1. With the "classy" crowd that hangs out at metro casinos it is hard to believe that there would be a gun fight..........

2. I have never understood the whole "murder suicide" thing. If you are going to off yourself, why take someone with you? It's not as if you get a group discount in hell.

3. MORE ARSON in the Metro. As long as they are in the hood, nobody cares.

4. ONLY a KCK resident would run from the police with his family in the car. Good job buddy.

5. Park is making a play to make the Top 10 list of streets to get shot on.

REMEMBER WHEN HIP HOP WAS GOOD?

MY OBAMA WRAP UP OF THE WEEK

Sometimes pictures speak louder than words.

POWER RANKING UPDATE

There has been a change in the top ten this week as Olathe has shored up its offense. Does upstart Olathe have what it takes to move past the perennial powerhouse of Independence? This should be interesting as we have 4.5 months left in the 08 season.

1. KCMO
2. KCK
3. Independence
4. Olathe
5. Raytown
6. Grandview
7. Gladstone
8. Merriam
9. Roeland Park
10. Lawrence

WEEKEND SHOOTING OVER/UNDER

I have just gotten off the phone with Vegas and the weekend number has been set at 5. I for one am going to take the over this week due to ideal weather conditions and the fact that people are now starting to get shot over in JOCO. GO EAST SIDE!

WHY ARE PEOPLE IGNORING THE KC GANG PROBLEM

Hopefully there will be more and more people speaking out about the metros inability to recognize that the metro area is turning into the South Side of Chicago. Do the idiots in the media, city halls, and police departments have blinders on? I guess it is going to take a bunch of white kids getting shot in the head in the burbs before they take it serious. Just hope that it isn't your kids that we are all lighting candles for.

GANG BANGERS ENTER THE DOME!
