08 EGG OF FACE AWARD GOES TO

I know it is early but there isn't anything else that will be able to touch this in local politics for the remainder of the year. Today Saundra Ross and her band of fools found out that while they may have an opinion, it isn't a very popular one.

The people that led this recall should now crawl back into their caves of irrelevance with their tails between their legs and leave the guy alone. For some this will be hard, they have based their whole existence and notoriety on his possible demise. No matter what the tactics have been, they have failed. Convention blackmail, Park Board shake downs, Attacking his wife, Calling him a racist, Race Baiting etc.. all have resulted in failure.

When you are surrounded by people that will tell you that you are right you fail to see just how wrong that you are. I can't wait to see, hear and read the spin on this.

“While there were many voters in favor of the recall of the Mayor, the general consensus of the Kansas City populace was to give Mayor Funkhouser more time to fulfill his agenda for the city," Saundra Ross from NBC action news story linked above.

I am no Funkhouser supporter but holy crap this is funny!

Quick Hits

1. Who the hell plays this game? I thought that this was something that only Bugs Bunny did.

2. If you have to go to the ER in Kansas City you are screwed.

3. Recession fears hit Independence, Mo. The price to have someone killed is now only $260. Then again you get what you paid for.

4. Linday Lohan makes an EXCELLENT attempt at reviving her career. I for one appreciate her efforts and forgive her.

5. Obviously these kids never watch "The Wire".

Joanna Krupa

THE WUSSIFICATION OF AMERICA CONTINUES

This time you needn't look any further than across the state lines and into the Missouri Senate. They are actually passing a BILL regarding bullies. Not just your ordinary bullies that beat you up, take your money etc.. INTERNET BULLIES.

Holy Crap, more politicians with their eyes away from the ball.

GANGLAND - MS-13

So I just finished watching the series on the History Channel called Gangland. As I posted earlier this year, after you watch the first couple of episodes you have an increased awareness of just how powerful and destructive that these groups are. It seems that the most powerful and destructive gang in the World is a group called MS-13. This group is made up of people from Central America and Mexico(started off in El Salvador) and are responsible for the slaying of thousands of their own people.

Hispanic leaders are letting their people down.

Our weak borders continue to allow these terrorists to enter our country and their primary target is other Hispanics. You would think that the Latino community in this country would make a tough stand against the rape, torture and murder that MS-13 is inflicting instead of wasting its time on a group of people with 2 way radios and binoculars, but they don't (do they see them as an ally against border agents?). These "leaders" seem more concerned with pushing their own agenda and increasing their "base". Why else would they focus so much time on the borders and disregard what is happening in their own neighborhoods?

The leaders want to trick you with misdirection and stories of struggling families looking for jobs in America(which there are and should be allowed in through work visas). They know if more light is shed on MS-13 and other gangs it damages their cause, so they ignore it. They accuse Americans of engaging in a "wave of hate" for wanting to protect all citizens regardless of color from allowing criminals like these inside our borders.

You can't shut down the borders and you can't make them completely open.

I am all for people coming to this country in search of a better life. Being of Irish heritage I can relate. If we have jobs that Americans are too lazy to do then let someone that wants to do it into our country. Many in this country take being an American for granted and do not see the opportunities that are available and piss away their futures. If someone from outside of our country sees the opportunity and wants to do it, let them in. BUT let them be screened first. Is that too much to ask?

If you think that this is just a border state problem you are wrong. Here are a few recent headlines from a few non border towns.

OMAHA..........NASHVILLE.......DAYTON.........DENVER.........VIRGINIA.

ALABAMA..........GULFPORT..........COUNCIL BLUFFS.......

Keep in mind that these are just a small sampling of some of the stories regarding MS-13 over the past 30 days. It is also excluding New York, D.C., LA, Mass, Texas, Arizona & Chicago.

Here are a few links worth reading on this subject.
Mexican drug cartels..........DAN RATHERS...........NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC.

RITA COSBY...........THE WASHINGTON TIMES.....HUMAN EVENTS.COM

If this stuff doesn't wake you up then nothing will.

QUICK HITS

1. It seems that whenever Sugar Creek is in the news there is always bad news to follow(what a crappy way to die). This is the most cursed town in the metro.

2. The northeast area finally gets a mascot(sinkhole) fitting of the blight, crime & poverty that over shadow any good that happens there.

3. With all of the armed robberies taking place in the metro I find myself cheering when it isn't a store that I shop at. Subway might be the worst sandwich shop in the area, so better them than say Planet Sub. We have even started a pool at the office to see which store will be robbed next. The number #1 pick is McDonalds.

4. I find it funny that people who want religion out of government are rallying around these misguided souls. This once again proving that liberals have no backbone. This will have no effect on legislation that is going through in the state making it unbearable for illegals to reside in the area. If only the Hispanic community was the motivated to stop Hispanic on Hispanic crime.

5. Pakistan just became even more jacked up.

6. UPDATE: Spider girl is now walking. No word on if she lost her ability to shoot webs out of her wrists.

SHAKE UP AT 810

It appears that Frank Boal is leaving crunch time. Could this have something to do with the new 610 lineup? I for one will miss Frank Boal. He is one of the only sane voices in Kansas City sports radio and appears to not have a personal agenda.
