THE WIRE - WEEKEND KETCHUP
Kansas City residents have forgotten how to lie.
1. Man shot execution style in KCMO. The cover stories are pretty pathetic.
2. He didn't know that he was being chased by police? Then why the hell was he driving on shoulders and weaving in and out of traffic? Yet another crappy story.
3. Psycho comes to mind here.
4. I think it would be safe to say that the Metro is always in a stand off with the North East.
5. Going into a siding business at 2am? Sounds like someone got robbed after nailing a chick at his office.
6. It is no longer safe to take a piss at JOCO bookstores. THANKS FREAKS!

QUICK HITS - FREAKY FRIDAY EDITION
Weekends are the time when everyone gets to forget that they may lose their job, their personal freedoms are being taken away, the government is ruining capitalism, we are close to war with 5 countries and your retirement plan is gone.
We do this by drinking, eating BBQ, going to sporting events and spending time with your family(that you see less than the people you work with). So enjoy yourself this weekend because Monday it starts all over again.
1. HIV has hit the Porn industry. Shocking I know. BUT YOU KNOW there will be some sick bastard that will make a porn called HIV Chicks gone wild and some of you sick bastards will buy it.
2. White people taking Africans away from their families? Madonna knows its 2009 and not 1709 right?
3. You have to be the most unlucky bastard on the planet to get hit by a freaking meteorite the size of a pea.
4. Obama is more like Stalin than Putin. Can the leaders of the Republican party get anything right?
5, Is the government getting ready to take over the tobacco biz?
6. The NYPOST has a great slide show regarding Movie remakes.
7. Maybe now Obama will have a reason to turn the economy around.
8. 9 FOOT TAPE WORM! AWESOME.
9. Time to take all of your rabbit ears to the metal man.
10. Are we really suppose to believe that this election is real?
THE WIRE - WEAK ASS CRAP!
Has the metro gone soft? WTF?
1. Getting your nails did in KCMO is ruthless.
2. Shawnee Robbers didn't want to ruin the detail job on the get away car.
3. Letter writing? Who the hell still writes letters? Crap I don't even know how much a stamp is...
4. KCK's biggest problem is gambling? I always thought it was gang violence......
5. The fact that the East Side has an elementary school is the real news here. Not the fact that it got robbed.

BILL THE PAINTER
Yet Another Reason to Avoid Vinyl Siding!
Ever hear of vinyl siding on a home MELTING??? Sure, if you have a fire or your grill too close you would expect it, right?
This phenomenon came to my attention through NARI (National Association of the Remodeling Industry) discussion boards on LinkedIn. A homeowner was having problems with their siding “melting” on the home. It looked something like this:
We all know it gets hot in the summer, but is it really hot enough to melt vinyl siding? What if I told you it happened in the WINTER! It just doesn’t seem likely, does it? Maybe it was vandalism, improper installation or something else.
Would you believe the damage was caused by the neighbor’s new energy efficient windows? Yep, the windows were causing the problem!
These new windows usually feature a LowE coating that reflect the sun’s light as well as the heat. This is what helps make these windows efficient and your energy bills manageable. On a bright, sunny day, the windows can act like a magnifying glass and focus the intense light on the siding. This focused light creates a lot of heat! Remember frying ant with a magnifying glass last week…I mean when we were young? It’s the same effect.
Check out the pictures below, the temperature readings were made in December!
The left picture shows the surface temperature of the siding where the neighbor’s window is reflecting the light. 185 DEGREES! The one on the right shows the actual ambient air temperature of 24 degrees. The date on the pictures is December 20th.
Ok, so we know what the problem is, now what’s the solution? Well, you can ask the neighbor to change his windows, good luck on that one! Your best bet is to plant a bush or tree on that location. Really! You may be able to use a higher quality thicker vinyl siding, but there is still no guarantee it won’t melt. Did you know that these problems are NOT covered under factory warranties? Nope, it’s not their fault!
If you are considering installing vinyl siding on your home, keep this problem in mind. Chances are it won’t happen to you, but you never know. One type of siding that will NOT ever melt is fiber cement siding. Coincidentally, my company just happens to install it! James Hardie siding is the leader in the Fiber Cement Siding Industry. It’s siding has a 50 year warranty. If you choose the pre-finished Color Plus product, it is also covered by a 15 year finish warranty. It will far outperform vinyl or steel when it comes to temperature extremes and hail damage. It will never rot, termites won’t touch it and neither will woodpeckers!

Have a great week!
