OFF THE GLASS

QUICK HITS

1. How bad is this guys life? 1. He lives in KCK. 2. He is a criminal 3. He is a dumb criminal

2. Missing a dog? In unrelated news

3. Another father of the year candidate. This jackass kills his kids then calls the front desk of the hotel he was staying at to tell them.

4. Another crappy peace plan is being worked on in Israel this week and both sides report that they are "ready to take steps towards peace". This headline should of been easy to write because it has been written 1000 times in the past. Israel needs to give up on negotiating with these people and attack. We are delaying the inevitable and I am sick of seeing Israel being forced to cater to these extremist groups.

5. The biggest waste of $300,000,000 that you will ever see is about to take place.

6. Has the United States exaggerated its kill count in Iraq?

7. Get a Job you lazy bastards!!!!!!!!!! Let me guess, you are holding out for management positions?

8. Over the past 4 months Bill Clinton has lost any & all power he had in the Democratic Party. What makes him think that people will listen to him?

PAYBACK TIME

THIS IS THE GAME I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR
SINCE HE LEFT!

STILLWELL SMOKEHOUSE

I just read that the place nearly burned down this morning!!!!!!!!!!

QUICK HITS

1. For $40 Sprint could of hired a crack head and ended up with the same result. Instead they gave Forsee $40 million in 2007.
2. I think they should give this survey to their students instead of the teachers. What the hell do you expect them to say? Do they really expect teachers to be accountable for their inability to educate? Holy crap.

3. FINALLY!!! A fight at a bar on Troost that didn't involve guns or knives. These guys should get medals not arrested. The tulips are working!!!!!!!!

4. Maybe Paseo needs some tulips.

5. What did you expect from a community college full of students that have represented themselves in court on more than one occasion? They should be good debaters.

6. If this kid lived in KCMO it would be the norm but since he is in Brazil it is news worthy.

7. Herbal remedy for life is being marketed in Indonesia. This drink is a sure fire cure for living.

8. Some cities in the United States are just as dangerous as those in Iraq. Criminals should sleep peacefully tonight knowing that these are the same planes that have been searching for Bin Laden for the past 7 years.

9. Kids today have better toys than what we had growing up. When I was a kid there was Lazer Tag. These kids have taken that to a whole new level.

10. More proof that papers like the Kansas City Red Star are on their way out.

THE LOSS OF MY RIVAL

Sometimes in life the loss of your biggest rivals are those that leave the biggest marks. This can be said without any doubt about the recent passing of my rival over the past 18 years. From the first time we met this rival and I were at odds and although I tried I was never fully able to bring her over to my side.

This rival was a capable and resourceful foe willing to go at any length needed to win. Some of the tactics utilized by this rival were sleep deprevation, tripping down flights of stairs, chemical weapons, excessive noise, nagging and emotional warfare. I often sat and wondered if this rival had received torture training from the CIA. The skill that I went up against will never be matched by another foe.

This week saw the end of our epic battle and even though she is gone, I know that she won. She always ended up getting her way and never compromised. These battles are going to be missed. So long ICE and thank you for 13 years of entertainment.

KCK GETS NEW GROCERY STORE

Anytime someone wants to sink money into downtown KCK it is news. It appears that 18th street will get a new grocery store and hotel off of I70. I know that if I were looking to open a grocery store and hotel that this would be my first choice in locations......

The people that are putting this store in either have to be incredibly ignorant OR are getting the whole thing funded by JOCO. Yes I said JOCO. It makes sense doesn't it? What better way to keep KCK residents from entering the dome than to open a grocery store on their side of "the bridge". Also look into who is developing the new Mission shopping area and see if they have ties into the group building what will be the most robbed store in the metro. It just doesn't make sense. Who the hell are they going to get to work there? In a county with the highest unemployment rate in the state the Village West STILL can not fill jobs that have been open for 2 years.

I am sure the good people that were brave enough to open their family run grocery stores up the street are glad to see the competition move in. Seriously I feel bad for those people that for years were the only ones willing to take the risk in that area.

QUICK HITS

1. Life of a fish is more important than that of Missouri residents. Having just come back from Southern Missouri I can tell you that the people down their are pissed. They can't believe that potential flooding of their lands and possible deaths don't mean as much as this fish.
2. KCMO needs to do a better job when targeting future convention business. Why is it that every freaking major issue this city faces there happens to be a convention of that group coming to the city? This time it is the ZOO. What a freaking joke.
3. I wondered how long it would be before we had unoriginal criminals copy off of the D.C. snipers.
4. Not only will this educator knock you up but he will drive you to get an abortion.
5. This story had the headline "Human Cockfighting"...........No surprise that it is taking place right outside of Joplin, Mo.
6. Yet another shooting on a college campus.
7. And ANOTHER gun situation on a college campus after she killed her kids.
8. When the Chinese aren't killing Monks they are busy making Pandas horny.

WHERE WHITE PEOPLE GO WHEN THEY GIVE UP.

Joplin, Missouri.

I had several ideas on my drive back today on how to make this post entertaining but came to my senses halfway through typing it out. The simple fact is that the town sucks. It smells, it is vacant and it is knee deep in WT. Having never been there until today I had no idea what to expect. I like small towns so I went to Joplin (for business) expecting that I would like it. I was picturing a smaller Springfield but what I saw was a ghetto full of white people.

FEMA needs to head down there and hand out checks to people.

I now know why in my 100+ trips to Southwest Missouri that I have never gone through that place and have always taken Highway 13/7.

Charlie Browns Easter - Well sort of

For some reason it is funnier this way.

LET US HOPE THIS IS YET ANOTHER WRONG PREDICTION

The blog that this comes from is typically wrong on most predictions so lets hope that this little tidbit falls in line with all of the others.

Tonyskansascity has an "inside" source telling him that KCMO plans on increasing the earnings tax. If this happens it will mark the beginning of the end of KCMO. With vacant offices, better parking, lower crime and less crowding the biggest benefactor of such an action would be Johnson County. The corporate moving vans packing 435 West & I35 South would bring traffic to a standstill.

As a resident of Johnson County you would think that I would be excited about the thought of the sudden shot to our tax base, but you are wrong. It is important for downtown KCMO to be strong and instead of taxing businesses/people more they should be cutting taxes to attract new businesses. Who the hell was the last big corporation to move its HQ to KCMO from a different metro area? That along with the decades of handouts to special interest groups, church's and "civic programs" is the reason that they have no money.

Does KCMO really want to penalize the people that bring money into the city for their inability to manage their books. The companies/people didn't create this problem, THEY DID. Let them be the ones to take the hit.

JUST AS PREDICTED

The NAALCP is going to keep their convention in Kansas City despite their attempts at (pardon the pun) blackmailing the Metro. While others in this town want to make our city out to be South Africa, the NAACP came to their senses and realized that following the lead of "La Raza" would be idiotic.

This along with the failed recall of Funkhouser continue to destroy the credibility of local bloggers who have made Race Baiting & racist attacks their calling card.

XM & SIRUS GET MERGER APPROVAL

I realize that this only matter to those of us willing to pay $10 a month for radio but it is still good news.

ADVERTISING ON A BLOG?

Lately I have been getting emails from some pretty legit companies that are seeking to advertise on this blog. Do I want this place to start looking like the outfield wall of a minor league baseball team? It all depends!

I have chosen one to start talking $$$ with to see if it worth wild.

KU NOTE

Remember when Villanova's head coach Jay Wright cut Chalmers & Collins from the Pan Am team? Well he hasn't.
