QUICK HITS

1. New reading comprehension workbook for KCMO school district released. See van, shoot van.

2. Do we really need a website dedicated to selling art out of the state of Kansas? Tax dollars well spent.

3. Mormons & Branson, Mo usually don't result in dead bodies.

4. Overland Park sends welcoming committee to greet Jared Allen.

5. Robocop hits the streets of Atlanta.

6. Another reason why blogs are better than newspapers. Why does a guy that is suppose to cover current, local events & politics write a piece like this? I don't know who Bob Sigman is but this article is crap. WITH ALL THE ISSUES facing our communities this ass clown writes an article about Benedict Willams?

7. The only time government really takes notice of a problem is when it effects their pocket book. Well this story about low appraisals might finally wake them up to the problem in N. JOCO. I still say that property values would double if you eliminated the 18th street expressway.

STEVEN ST.JOHN MELTDOWN

I consider myself a sports radio guru. Over the past decade I have developed personal relationships with many of the local personalities/owners/gms/sales guys and hear some pretty interesting things, so it was really no surprise to hear Steven St. John completely meltdown on the radio this morning. He is unstable and immature and is not capable of handling controversy.

His tirade over this morning over the shipping off of his Drunken bed buddy was a classic. He screamed, he called callers names, he was defensive, he used foul language and he was exposed. I kept listening, waiting for someone in management (Leabo) to yank the guy off the air, but it never happened. It get so bad at one point that I thought his cohost (Nate Bukaty) was going to cut off his mic.

Keep in mind that we are not talking about politics, race, crime, education etc... It was the trade of a Drunken Chiefs player. Classic Meltdown.

JUST WHEN YOU DIDN'T THINK IT COULD GET BETTER

THE RETURN OF THE CRACK HEAD!
I would like to be the first to thank the state of Missouri for making this upcoming summer EVEN more interesting. It is good to see the GM (the state) providing the team (the metro) with the necessary talent to take #1 this year.

How pissed was Horner?

The late arrival of the storm last night had to make Katie furious. The past few months have been full of 40 degree/rainy days, a forecast that even she can't mess up. The one chance that she has had this season at scaring the crap out of the mindless drones that tune in for forecast (rather than making fun of her) passed her by. How will she handle it?

I WILL GUARANTEE YOU that the next time there is a chance of lightening in Wichita she will be predicting the end of the world for the metro(in her jeans of course).

Just how bad are the weather people in this town? TKC's blog had a link to a story by the New York Times in which they basically call our TV crystal ball readers, idiots.

HOW BAD IS KCK?

KCK is so jacked up that the federal government is sending in funds to fight crime. Why stop there? Screw Iraq, send the surge forces into KCK. Besides, throwing money at a problem is never the solution unless it goes to hiring more police, tearing down vacant homes/buildings and better surveillance equipment for under cover work.

IF THIS PLACE ISN'T FULL TONIGHT

KCK is having a public meeting tonight on how to revitalize their community. This is a chance for those of you residing in Satan's playground to tell the leaders THAT YOU ELECTED to clean up your town. Like most communities full of crime their are innocent civilians (good people) that are stuck and looking for help, if you don't go and speak up then don't complain.

When I turn on the news tonight I expect to see overflow crowds, T -Shirts with catchy slogans like "up with hope & down with dope" and maybe a few pissed off midgets. IF NOT, then don't come in here and complain that this blog treats your city poorly.

KC LOVES IT'S DRUNK DRIVERS

Today the sports radio chat is full of people complaining that the Chiefs can't sign J Allen. This is the same guy that threatened the lives of other motorist not once, but twice because he decided to get behind the wheel after getting bombed. Why the hell do you morons want this guy to represent our team and city? He is ONE more offense away from getting a season threatening suspension.

Stop crying and deal with the fact that he is going to go. We sucked with him, we will suck without him.

Lets hope that this is one prediction of TKC's that will actually come true.

FILED UNDER "WHO GIVES A CRAP"

Anyone else sick of hearing about an earthquake that happened 2 states away? If you say you felt your house shake YOU ARE LYING! Wake me up when the streets are opening up, bridges are falling & people are dead..... Wait we already have that going on without the over hyped earthquake.

Get over yourselves people.

QUICK HITS - JOCO EDITION

RDM & TKC made an excellent (funny) observation regarding a recent blog post I made. Have I been to hard on the crap holes of KCK & KCMO? There is a good chance of that. He also pointed out that we the people of JOCO have problems too. After spending the morning talking to sources, digging up articles on line & talking to local police officials I have decided to put JOCO on notice.

1. Man excluded from block party due to length of grass.

2. Noise from kids playing causes disturbance at local BBQ.

3. Chamois scratches SUV!

4. High Def TV outage causes problems for locals in Leawood.

5. Maid Service threatened due to immigration crack down.

6. Over flow of high school grads out of JOCO a good thing?

7. Families fight over proper temp to serve wine at weekend dinner party!

8. SUV emissions by JOCO residents cause environmental risk for the urban core.

9. JOCO man walks into East Side gas station and uses debit card!

10 White driver pulled over on Prospect by KCMO police complains about racial profiling.

11. Yet another violent incident involving a putter at local Golf Course.

MO MURDA, MO MURDA, MO MURDA

Take the weekend off and all hell breaks loose. People in KCK & KCMO have got to hate Spring-Fall. While those of us living Americas Dream in the burbs chase off the occasional bee those in KCK & KCMO spend their time ducking knives, bullets, arson, car jackings, rape and the always popular home invasion.
Here are the weekend highlights.

1. Someone stumble on this poor dead bastard left to rot in the street.

2. This one tops it all off. KCK bartender killed.

3. Walking home at 6:30pm is suppose to be safe right? Not in KCMO.

4. Man avoids ticket by killing himself.

5. Putting a Sonic on Cleaver Blvd. was not exactly a smart business move.

A SLAP IN THE FACE TO VETERANS

WTF!

FUNNY SEX LAWS IN THE UNITED STATES

I just stumbled across this little gem over on Fox News. While this stuff is hilarious, it is further proof that we are a society with wayyyyyyyy too many laws.

KC METRO DROPS THE BALL ON CRIME

I was away from the computer, tv & radio for most of the day yesterday so I missed this little gem of a story. Anyways, I just came across a headline on KSHB's website this morning that was a little misleading to me, "Authorities hope to reduce startling statistics". I clicked on the link expecting to see them FINALLY discuss the violent crime that has been spiraling out of control in the metro and instead read a piece of crap discussion regarding cyclists, pedestrians & automobile accidents.

HOW FREAKING BLIND ARE THE MORONS IN CHARGE OF LAW ENFORCEMENT FOR THIS CITY.

I spoke with a friend in the KCMO police department last week and he told me that morale was low. I can only imagine what this PR stunt is doing for morale amongst the brave men & women that try to protect our streets.

What the hell is next, A BIKE RODEO!

FREEDOM ALERT!

Beware of this man. He is currently meeting with the socialist James Brady to push more anti gun legislation. We all know how effective gun legislation is right? All that you have to do is look at the streets of Kansas City and see all of the "legally purchased" weapons being used in the murders...........Exactly.

These socialist are missing the target on where the blame should go. How about the parents that raised the little psycho and the GOVERNMENT run agencies (state run mental health agencies, the state run university etc...) that turned the other cheek to this kids mental history. There is a reason that the state of Virginia just got done shelling out 11 million dollars, they dropped the ball.

Instead of going after gun rights they should be seeking to toughen admission standards into universities. Education is not an entitlement beyond grade 12.

KCK ALL AMERICAN CANDIDATE

In a season full of lofty stats and over achievers there is one man that has stood out so far in the 2008 Criminal Season. Not only did this guy stay in line with the knife trend BUT he pulled off the always tough triple stabbing. The always insightful reporters at the KC Red Star noted that an Argument was the cause of the stabbing........ Who would of come to that conclusion if it weren't for the brilliant reporting of Mike Rice? I hear a Pulitzer is in the works...

Enjoy this criminal while you can because he is currently being recruited by Compton, Detroit & D.C.
