Blue Valley vs. Overland Park
For the past 3 years I have been lobbying to get the Blue Valley region of Overland Park to succeed from the union. Those outside of the area can't see the difference and think that my idea has no merit, I get it, most of them would die to have what Overland Park has and can't imagine doing better (this gives Blue Valley residents a nice cushion from Missouri transplants looking to better themselves by moving to Kansas).
Here are just a few examples of the many differences that separate our 2 communities.
1 Overland Park Resident- Sams Club vs. Blue Valley - Costco
2. Overland Park Residents - Hy-Vee vs. Blue Valley - Hen House
3. Overland Park Residents - Aldi vs. Blue Valley - Trader Joes
4. Overland Park Residents- Price Chopper Card vs. Blue Valley - Gold Card
5. Overland Park - Shawnee Mission (once great schools) vs. Blue Valley - BVSD (great schools)
6. Overland Park - Government Housing in apartments vs. Blue Valley - Amli Apartments
7. Overland Park - 69 Highway (trashy name) vs. Blue Valley - Blue Valley Parkway
8. Overland Park - Metcalf South vs. Blue Valley - 5 brand new shopping areas
9. Overland Park - Blighted strip malls vs. Blue Valley - Town Center
10. Overland Park - Close to Wyco vs. Blue Valley - Close to Stillwell
11. Overland Park - Payday Loan business's everywhere vs. Blue Valley - 2 Cash for Gold Stores
12. Overland Park - Restaurant's closing and left empty vs. Blue Valley - New Restaurants every month.
13. Overland Park - Soccer Goals set up in farm fields vs. Blue Valley - World Class soccer complex.
14. Overland Park - Antioch Park vs. Blue Valley - Deanna Rose
15. Overland Park - Old buildings made into community centers vs. Blue Valley - Community Centers rival gyms that cost a ton to join monthly.
16. Overland Park - Personal Property blight on the rise vs. Blue Valley - Strong home owners associations that prevent blight.
17. Overland Park - Full of old people that can't drive vs. Blue Valley - Full of kids driving BMW's that can't drive (ok, both options suck there).
I will stop here because I could keep going for quite awhile and I think my point has been proven.

Freedom Alert - #Northcarolina
Yes folks, there is nothing that an elitist doesn't think he/she should control.
FREEDOM ALERT - #NYC
Elitist Bloomberg wants to ban "large" drinks containing sugar. This of course means nothing to the elitist in this country who will simply buy more of the smaller beverages. If you are a middle class citizen you are screwed.

Grand Jury for a statue?????? Screw You
This uptight Puritan needs to get over herself and her insecurities instead of wasting valuable time, resources and tax dollars on a freaking topless statue. IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT DON'T LOOK.
Why is that so difficult? Why does Joanne Hughes think that she knows what is best for all of us? People like this are dangerous. They thrive off of preaching and taking away our personal freedoms in order to conform with what think is "normal". If she gets her way on this issue what is next?

Almost Daily Link Blast
1. The exploitation of Trayvon Martin's death has reached new heights. TRAYVON MARTIN DAY is now a real thing in D.C. Schools. Makes sense to worship this guy and not the 1000's of soldiers killed in the past 10 years.
2. Are the streets of Prospect any safer after this DUI checkpoint? Is that really what we should be focused on in the East Side?
3. What a crappy way to die.
4. Lawrence, Ks sicko has been carrying his mother ashes in his center console for the past 2 months. Oh, and now the dead mom has been abducted.
5. Everything turns to blight in KCK at some point.
6. Kansas no longer has to worry about enforcing foreign laws....
