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.
