KANSAS CITY CRIMINALS IT IS TIME TO STEP UP

This whole year I have been predicting that the combined forces of KCK & KCMO would compete for the #1 spot in violent crimes for 2008. I was feeling pretty good about this prediction until I read this story.

It appears that the large market team in our division is picking up steam and unless our guys put down the knives and pick back up the guns we could get embarrassed.

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.
