DEAD DOG WALKIN

This week will be the last week for the dog I have had for the past 13 years. Due to some cancer in her mouth she is in pain when she eats, drinks etc.. and I have to look past the good moments that she has and do the right thing. The morbid thing about this is that I know it is going to happen but the dog has no clue. She doesn't know that today is her last Monday but I do.

I had thought about getting her stuffed but she is kinda ugly now and could only be displayed on Halloween. That wouldn't be exactly a bad thing but I don't want to explain to the neighbors why I have a stuffed dog in the garage with all of the holiday decorations. What do others in SOJOCO do with their dead animals? I have heard tales of people with pet urns over their fire place, burial plots at the cemetery next to the family and my personal favorite is saving the pet DNA to have it cloned.

Don't feel bad for me, my dog has lived longer and had a better quality of life than those of you that read this blog in KCK & East KCMO. She was not subject to a failing educational system, she was never shot at and her garbage was always picked up. Then again I think most dogs in JOCO have better lives than East Siders.

THE GREAT URBAN BLIGHT TOUR

A few weeks ago I came up with the idea of doing the Top 10 most blighted ares of the city. I could never get enough time to go out and get the photos taken so I told Midtown that he should run with it. He has the most interesting and unique pictures on his blog of Kansas City and I felt that he could do it more justice than I could. So unlike city leaders we passed bistate 2 an initiative between JOCO & Midtown to bring attention to the blight of the metro.

1. "I REPEAT, there is no arson problem in Kansas City. All of these fires in the vacants are just a coincidence." - Kansas City Media

2. These guys might of listened to the Mayor and dropped the guns and picked up their keys. You have to admire their effort and creative thinking.

3. If you thought that the problems that KCMO was having with drug dealers and shootings in Swope Park was bad checkout what we in JOCO have to deal with at our parks.

4. KCMO cracks down on weed.

5. Don't think we have a problem on our southern border? Mexican soldiers cross border and take hostages.

The Mayors Resolution didn't work?

How is it that we could have two shootings in the metro last night after the Mayor made it clear that illegal guns were bad? Is it possible that Aladdins wish didn't come true? Anyways, the street Drury lives up to its name.

FUNKHOUSER THINKS HE IS ALADDIN

The Mayor: Resolution against illegal guns.
Well that solves everything! Who knew that it would so freaking simple? All that the mayor had to do was join a "coalition of mayors", ask for the passing of a resolution, and the violent crime in Kansas City will be gone. Who the F*** does this guy think he is? Aladdin? Did he get three wishes? Holy crap what a moron.

For months and months I have been calling on the Mayor, the Police Chief and the "media" to take on crime and this is what we get?
Hey jackass the guns are illegal therefore you have laws in place prohibiting them already so what the hell is a resolution going to do? Is a resolution more powerful than a law? No, it is just more symbolism without substance coming from an incompetent lurch looking mayor with no clue how to run a city.

If this is the best that we are going to get then I have a resolution of my own.... Increase illegal guns. Heck why not? Flood the neighborhoods with guns and lets get it all settled. Make September Homicide month in Kansas City. It would be like pulling off a band aid, the faster it is done the better. Why drag out murders through out the year?

While we are at it why not pass more problem solving resolutions? How about passing resolutions against Cancer, car accidents, unemployment, gas prices, long check out lines, cloudy days............

GOOD LUCK KCMO BECAUSE YOU ARE OFFICIALLY SCREWED!

1. Blue Springs pulls off the trifecta in duplex shooting that includes a 14 year old kid.

2. Further proof that car dealerships will screw you in more ways than a horny midget with epilepsy.

3. Jay Nixon in the east side....I am sure that he and Obama will fix all of their problems.

4. Sprint lost nearly ONE MILLION customer in a single quarter. Yet another losing KC Franchise.

5. Is it a coincidence that KCK is bulking up its National Guard forces? If ever there was a place in America that needed a military presence it is that crap hole. They should turn KCK into an urban warfare training school.

6. If you are going to video tape the rape and murder of a woman the chances of you getting the death penalty are pretty good.

7. If you want to revive your career playing a lesbian is always a good move. Kudos to you Brittney.

Remember when......

Phil Kline and Paul Morrison were the only people ever discussed in Kansas politics? In less than a year both men have managed to become more irrelevant than Mike Hedricks(if that is possible). The only problem I have is who the hell is this Steve Howe guy? I haven't heard anything good about him other than him NOT being Phil Kline.

Both men are perfect examples of what happens when power goes to your head. One used his power for sex and the other used his power to well, prevent sex.
