KSHB CONTINUES TO TAKE ON BLIGHT
KSHB is the only one outside of local bloggers discussing the blight problem in this town. This story talks about how workers have picked up 12 tons of trash along Prospect.... Has anyone seen Prospect? The place is still a crap hole. Prospect alone is an environmental hazard. What the story left out was an estimation of how much more garbage is needed to be picked up.
Nice try KSHB but tackle the whole issue, not just the feel good crap.

Top ten stories than you need to know about
1. Don't you wish that you could get a government bail out when you make crappy investments or have credit dept?
2. What does flying a corpse cost? And do you pick it up on the baggage return? Hopefully this bag isn't returned to the wrong owner.
3. Can we expect this to happen if KC gets Blight Rail? Probably only on the East Side route.
4. Is Il Ill?
5. California cops use the homeless for target practice. Is this a good use of available resources or inhumane? I am not sure.
6. Scientist are dead set on killing you!!!!!!!!!!!!!
7. Does god hate Iran? If god hated the US and gave us Katrina then surely god must hate Iran and muslims.
8. Do you trust Old farmers or "weather people" in regards to climate change? I will take an old farmer over a glorified Katie Horner any day.
9. The Royals finally can the guy that has been maybe the worst scout in baseball history.
10. GM "mistakingly" releases pictures of its new electric car cleverly named The Volt. I wonder how many millions were spent thinking of that name.
THE WIRE
Slow night in the metro.
1. It is interesting to see that the "Red Star" is starting to put "East Kansas City" in the headlines when reporting the crime. 17th & Moulton the home of this latest shooting. Another thing, it says Apartment complex in the story but can we just start calling them "projects" instead. Odds are that if there is an apartment complex in the East side, the tax payers are paying the rent.
2. Skytracker helps catch two thieves. Of course this took place in the East Side as well.

THE WIRE
1. 5 people arrested in KCK for robbery. Even criminals that commit crimes in other parts of towns are drawn to KCK.
2. 36th and Highland (how fitting is that street name)is home to the latest KCMO shooting. GO EAST SIDE!
3. The division of drug and crime control are going to determine if a mans body found in a rest stop bathroom in a POOL OF BLOOD had foul play involved. HOLY CRAP! OF COURSE IT DID YOU IDIOTS!
4. Olathe is not safe for kids.
5. KSHB continues to cover Urban Blight better than the rest of the local media. This story is regards to the Ivanhoe neighborhood and how blight has attracted crime.
6. 3136 Stadium drive doesn't sound like a gated community.

EAST SIDE MERIT BADGES
This past week we attended the open house for our oldest daughters school. I am truly amazed at the Blue Valley school district and all of the programs they offer, one of which was Boy Scouts. As I was looking through all of the stuff I became very thankful that I have the opportunity to give my kids a decent education and to get them involved with as many activities as they would like.
At the same time I was thinking the thought of an East Side KCMO Boy Scout troop cracked me up. Can you imagine being a Boy Scout in the East Side? From there I began to think of how one would have to adapt the scouting program to fit the East Side environment and I came up with a list of merit badges that every kid needs to survive in the East side.
Here are 20 actual merit badges that I have altered to better assist the poor bastards in the East Side. After all, everyone should have a chance to become a scout.
1. Fire Starting - How to set a vacant on fire
2. Ghetto Survival (formerly Nature Survival)- Spend the night alone on Prospect with nothing but a dime bag and .22
3. Orienteering - Ability to navigate through gang territories without getting shot
4. Cooking - The art of frying bologna and cooking "lake trout"
5. Environmental Science - Recycling of shell casings and catching of stray dogs.
6. First Aid - Treatment of gunshot and knife wounds. The art of driving yourself to the hospital when shot.
7. Shooting - Both Drive and walk by shootings will be taught.
8. Family life - How to survive with no father in the household while being a welfare recipient.
9. Auto Mechanics - Learn everything from hot wiring a car to putting spinners on a pinto.
10. Entrepreneurship - Ability to set up a drug corner, employ a staff of lookouts and runners while turning a 100% profit.
11. Graphic Art - Spray painting of overpasses, street signs, sides of buildings and rail road cars.
12. American Culture - Get brainwashed into believing that the "white man" hates you.
13. Dentistry - How to make your own platinum grill.
14. Disability Awareness - How to claim Social Security before the age of 21
15. Electronics - What to steal and what to leave.
16. Electricity - How to light a house from the neighbors outlet and how to hide the extension cords.
17. Lifesaving - This will be replaced with Life Taking.
18. Metal work - How to construct your own shank
19. Plant Science - Growing your own weed
20. Crime Prevention - Stop Snitchin
I can't wait to see the KCMO school district implement this!

THE WIRE - Weekend Review
What a weird weekend.
1. This is indeed a rare crime. It appears that even if you are fortunate enough to have a bank account while living in the East Side your still screwed. I do like how he asked her to take out $500. Did he not know what neighborhood he was in?
2. Never take a sword to a knife fight. Dumb ass.
3. Next time your kid acts up give it the East Side treatment.
4. 2 shot in the East Side Saturday night. Where is Joe Clark with his baseball bat when you need him?
5. Don't jack with women in Lenexa. The cops don't really like that.
6. Dead bodies in KCK are like pennies in the streets of JOCO. I hope that dough boy and Trey got Rickey's football back after finding him.
7. Missouri residents are trying to lure JOCO kids over the internet. When will Missouri clean up its act and just leave us alone?
8. KCK bank robbed... I hope the robbers enjoy the roll of quarters they got out of the vault.
9. KCPD is cooking the stats.......... Imagine how crappy they would be if they were honest.
10. 39th street is dropping bodies, WERD!
