QUICK HITS -
Q) What would be the worst possible business that you could open up in KCMO?A) High School graduation party catering.
1. More examples of government waste. First $500 toilet seats and now $2.5 million for Chinese whores. If anyone knows if they are accepting applications for researchers let me know.

3. Rove reaches back and bitch slaps Pelosi.
4. AP thinks that Obama Administration is full of crap.

10. I love the fact that our wealthy county is getting stimulus money.
THURSDAYS WITH ANGELO
Here is this weeks installment from Angelo. Enjoy, JOCOSOB
WOW, 3 weeks later, and after only 2 contributions, some people want to kick me out of MY country… isn’t it great! Please be sure to thank the God of your choice because you are in USA and for the freedom of speech that we enjoy!
My father used to tell me “The best way to measure how good you are doing or going in life is not by the number of followers and friends but by the number of invidious enemies and the number of people opposing to your thoughts without facts and knowledge”
I am not wasting my time and ideas responding to the individual that started the wave, as a gentleman I did send him and invitation to talk, he knows my numbers and where I can be find. My requirement is: Face to face my dear friend, face to face is my technique.
I believe in second chances, so here it goes: Tony can you give me a ride to the BCIS office (INS). I will turn my self in with “La Migra” and make you happy and by the way you can keep my bow tie too…. What do you think Antonio B.?
Know let’s go back to business:
How to understand and what it takes to be a conservative? Things I learn from the great communicator Ronal Reagan and other leaders:
The shortest definition of a conservative American came from President T.D Roosevelt “The ability and right of the American People to rule themselves, to govern themselves, and to control themselves” today we call this Individual responsibility! Do not wait for the government to give you everything, you can do it, you can build it or you can destroy it!
According with Ronald Reagan the great communicator “Our allegiance and love of the Republic is one of the fundamental values of an American but especially to a conservative republican”. To put it in my humble point of view, what it means is: because we have forgotten this basic principle, (loyalty to our country) is what have gotten in trouble; if you no longer remember the foundation that nurtured our country’s beginnings you will never be able to project our country to a better future.
The Constitution: The Sublime and Supreme Law of the Land is giving us the best and more exact definition of what a conservative means. The Constitution believes that American people have the RIGHT to rule themselves, govern themselves and to control themselves. And to me this is the “American Manifesto”, as Americans we do not need to look for a socialist or communist manifesto in other lands. Are we clear? Are you with me? Are you following me? We must follow what our Constitution dictates because it is the blueprint where the SACRED RIGHTS of each person are preserved, protected and defined. The sacred rights are there, and cover the poorest or the richest without distinctions or discrimination.
As a conservative American and with this coming statement I want to invite the democrats to practice this and join us to look for the well of our country. Conservatives we do practice and we do believe in a FAIR play, I always remember this when I am engaged in any type of debate, or controversy, but be advised that fair play does not mean avoiding a good political fight for a just and right cause, conservatives we are attentive and we do respond when the basic principles and values of our founders are disobeyed or avoided.
The first fight that we take on our shoulder is: WE want limited government, we are clear that the government is here to govern, and to enact laws always by what it is granted by power of the Constitution.
We are against the government bringing “government solutions” to our personal or State problems. Here I will like to mention one of our heroes of El Alamo, Senator Crocket’s decision to reach his pocket and offered to pay the expenses to support the widows and orphans from the war, and he invited the other senators to do the same, to support a just and patriotic local cause. Crocket message was “If any government with power to give us everything that we want. Would also have the power the take away everything that we have” (Thomas Jefferson).
Here I will also like to mention the “Enterprise Zones” Experiment from Ronald Reagan, inviting local entrepreneurs to open their business in areas taken by poverty, He will offer huge TAX INCENTIVES just for locating their business is these poor areas, this experiment will bring employment, training, better education, new certifications, more commerce and a positive impact on the development of poor areas. Did you get it! Local people taking care of local probems with local resources.
Conservatives strongly support cutting back taxes, actually we want tax incentives, abolish programs that generated only expenses (Do you remember the DNA study of a certain type of Bear, or the bridge to nowhere), we need a gradual and realistic increment of our independence to do business, we do not want to be dependant of the government, “we do not want distribution of capital or resources” we want to make money, and yes gain wealth and be able to keep it to invest back into our community by stimulating more or new business.
Our point of view with religion is that we do recognize and respect that the Constitution was designed from the principles of the Holy Bible and the USA was founded under strong Christian beliefs, we are religious people and we are not scare or afraid to mention the Holy name of GOD. Ronald Reagan was a craftsman working to be sure that our principles were forged by Christian believes.
Now the important definition of a conservative is that special love for the USA, I am not telling you that the others do not love our country, they just do it in different manner and intensity.
Let’s close this review by saying that we still believing that The Constitution and the love for our country are the best tools to keep all American together are the best protective devise that we have against the enemies of our country, and should be the inspiration that keep us moving as American Daily Patriots.
Now it is up to you pick if you want to be a social conservative or a fiscal conservative (or both) but remind to yourself our strong landmarks as a American Conservatives, adopt one of all factions of conservative republicans, look for the one that will benefit our country better, be strong with our social conservative policies (Christianity as the foundation for our decisions), if you want to be a neoconservative like me you must fight for lower taxes, local stimulation of the economy and we do not demand or support welfare programs.
I personally can not be a “paleoconservative” they do not support immigration to USA and I do support having our troops where is needed to protect the integrity of our country. This type of conservatives does not like to have our troops in foreign countries, regardless of the situation.
A fiscal conservative focus in money and government size, smaller governments and reduction of unnecessary expenses, some of them believe on Social Security privatization.
Our traditional conservatives love to keep the American traditions, to preserve for future generations de roots of our identity.
Make the right because our Country may need you tomorrow.
See you next week…Hasta la vista!

HOW MANY POLAR BEARS CAN YOU KILL?
I want you to read this story and then add up the number of gadgets that you have in your house that will end up killing polar bears and apply that number to 1 polar bear death. Those of you in KCK and KCMO need not take this test because well, you are poor and don't have gadgets.
Gadgets mentioned.
- Flat Screens
- IPODS
- MP3 Players
- Mobile Phones.
- Laptops
- Digital Cameras
- Desktop Computers
PAYBACK - AUTO SALESMEN PREPARE TO BE F'D
Finally some good news for those of you that have been screwed over by car salesmen. I say that we post jobs asking for previous auto sales experience. Once they come in put them in a conference room and drag them through a 3 hour interview. Then when the interview is done offer them minimum wage. When they reject that offer tell them that you are going to go speak with your manager about getting you more money. Make them sit in the conference room for 2 more hours and THEN come back and offer them 25 cents over minimum wage. Tell them that is there last offer but you will throw in an hour for lunch.
After all of that fun is over kick their ass's to the curb.
OPRAH IS DANGEROUS.
Oprah is ruining Americas reputation across the globe. First she opens up a Rape school in South Africa and now she is out to destroy the rain forest. Where is the outrage from all of the liberals on this crap?
Maybe Americas poor should be glad that she would rather help the poor in Africa than in her own country.

This post is suppose to go up on Wednesday mornings but thanks to my friends at Yahoo it is a little bit late. Regardless, Bills post are big hits and I look forward to them every week.

Preparation is the key!
Ok, regardless of our political leanings, we can all agree that spring is here. That means is may be time to think about painting the outside of your home. I covered some of the things to look for in a previous column. I want to go a little more in depth on preparation this week.
It seems these days that there are MANY more painting companies out there than ever before. Why? Blame the economy! With new construction grinding to a halt, a lot of new home painting contractors are out there with nothing to do. Why is this a problem? Many of them are no as familiar with painting existing homes. It’s a totally different ballgame. Not only are these people bringing prices down (good for the consumer) they are lowering overall quality and longevity (bad for the consumer!)
PAINTING IS NOT A COMMODITY! All painters are NOT created equal.
I don’t care what the paint companies say, no paint project is going to last without proper preparation.
1: Power washing. This important step is designed to clean the dirt and chalk from the siding, trim and windows. Chalk is the white film that appears as your paint wears out. It is much more apparent on cheaper paints, but it is considered normal. Power washing can also remove loose paint from your home. Small electric washers just won’t cut it, neither will most 5hp washers. It takes a little practice to use the right pressure and distance to balance between cleaning and doing damage.
This is what happens when you don’t power wash! The chalk won’t let the new paint stick and it comes off in sheets!
2: Scraping. This is an important step and should be done in conjunction with power washing. Use of sharp, carbide tipped scrapers will do a better job of removing paint than cheap scrapers. The goal is to remove ALL of the paint that is currently loose and maybe a little more just to make sure. Again, the whole point is to have a sound surface for the new paint to stick to.
3: Caulking. This is a tricky one! First of all, use a good quality caulk. Caulks are graded by life expectancy, from 25 years to 55 years. Will they really last that long? Probably not! Higher quality caulks will last longer by staying flexible longer. Whatever you do, DO NOT USE SILICONE! Paint will not stick to silicone caulking. Different homes require caulking in different places. It is possible to do too much caulking. The goal is to keep air and water from getting behind the surface, whether it be stucco, wood, fiber-cement or composite siding. Make no mistake, water WILL get in, do you have to give it a way to escape. A professional painter knows how to do this properly.
4: Priming. This is where the new home painters usually fail big time. Priming takes time and costs money. If they do prime, they may use a cheap latex primer. It just doesn’t work as well as an oil-based primer. Usually the only areas that need primer are just where you have either new or bare wood. Most siding comes pre-primed as does some composite trim. If your home wasn’t primed in the past, you will know it soon after the power washing begins.
When these steps are performed properly, you ensure that you fresh coat of paint will last as long as it can. Be sure to use only 100% Acrylic paint for the outside of your home. A satin sheen will look nicer, but also last a good bit longer. Instead of absorbing the sunlight as a flat paint would, it reflects it, leading to longer life.
I’ve been painting homes in the Kansas City area for more than 15 years. There is little I haven’t seen or had to deal with in the past. This is why the Kansas City Star chose me to be the painter on their “Handyman” panel that runs in the House and Home section.

QUICK HITS - OPERATION STORM WATCH
This blog has been in Operation Storm Watch since 6am this morning. If you will look at radar you can clearly see that it is sprinkling in Dodge City. While this is not a threat to the metro right now we do have people that read this blog in Dodge City so we want to ensure their safety. "The Wire" will be posted at a later date yet to be determined.
1. KCMO residents don't see anything wrong with jacking a cab driver for beer money.
2. Kansas Citys local alternative paper can expect an increase in ad revenue after this announcement.
3. Photos of Rosie ODonell laying on the beach naked are made public today.
4. Xanax + Chimp = funny as hell 911 tape.
5. Hillary Clinton has a thing for Asian men.
6. Anyone that shoots someone over a messed up food order is OK in my book. Like you haven't wanted to do it!
7. Government controlled wages comming to a private company near you.
8. Nerdy chicks are better in bed than hot ditzy chicks.
9. Didn't we all know that Obama supporters were internet savy?
10. Picture of Boy on Milk Carton not paying off like they hoped.
BEST AROUND
Is this the best song EVER in a movie? If it isn't then it should be in the conversation.
WILD TIMES HEADING TO KCMO
I hope that everyone is ready for what could be one of the biggest party events to hit the metro in the last 10 years. I have just learned that there will be a NATIONAL PEZ convention in kcmo on the 23rd of May. The event will be held in KC's East Side on the UMKC campus.
What an awesome combination. Pez Collectors and KCMO gangsters. Awesome.
ITS NAP! Update
This chick is the most brainless person in all of D.C. (and that is saying something) yet she is being considered for the SUPREME COURT? Have they not been paying attention?????????????
GREEDY HOMELESS PEOPLE
For far to long homeless people have been living an easy life. They don't have to worry about work, family, car payments or house payments. Well that is all changing. Your friendly neighborhood liberals have decided to charge these poor bastards rent in NYC.
When I first read this story I thought it was an Onion story.
