THE WIRE
1. Getting shot in KCMO is so common nowadays that it isn't even the lead in this story. Instead the fact that the gurney broke took the headlines.
2. The best football player in the State of Kansas (not residing in Lawrence) is about to say good by.
3. Yet another untrustworthy lawyer.

CAN'T WE DO BETTER THAN BEANS AND RICE?
I just read this story and the first image that came to my head was the South Park episode in which Sally Struthers was hoarding all the snackie cakes while the poor people in Africa ate beans and rice.
Is this the best we can do for the homeless in the area? Beans and Rice? This is America, not Ethiopia. I find it hard to believe that with all the donations that are given to local charities that our local hobos are facing a freaking shortage of African aide food.
A TRUE KC LOSS
This spring the KC metro area will be a lot less cheerful and a lot less viewer friendly. I could really careless about Arena football BUT we will now go a whole season without the Brigade Girls!!!!!!!
THE WIRE
1. Silver Shells, Silver Shells, It's Christmas Time in the inner city, Ring A ling, see them bling, someone will be dead today. KCK shootout leads to one dead and a couple of others injured.
2. The phrase "Merriam Hotel" sounds trashy doesn't it?
3. The need for the new Call of Duty simply overwhelmed this young man.
4. NBC Action news gives JOCOians tips on how to protect their homes from KCMO residents.

REPORTED TRADE
It appears that there has been a major trade today. Aubrey O’Day is leaving the Heterosexuals and joining the other team. No word has been given if there is a player coming back in return.
END JOCO ELITISM NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can not take the elitist attitude that one JOCO blog has been demonstrating. If you follow my friend in blogging SOJOCO's blog you will notice that he has started a new weekly wine segment. His wine selections are obviously geared toward rich, white jocoians but what about the rest of the metro?
Well I am here to let you know that not all JOCOIANS are white elitist yuppies. In the spirit of the holidays I am going to provide those of you in KCK & KCMO with some fine wine ideas that you might be able to afford.
1. Wild Irish Rose
2. Cisco
3. Nighttrain
4. Thunderbird.
Here is a great website to help you with your wine selections. Good luck and Happy Holidays from your one true friend in JOCO.
