YELLOW SNOW

STUFF THAT PISSES ME OFF AT CHRISTMAS


1. Seeing 8 checkout lanes void from a cashier while you wait in a line 10 deep. What makes this even better is when you see 5 or 6 employees of the store standing around customer service chatting. You have two things to do. Scan items, collect money. that is all there is to it and you CAN'T EVEN DO THAT!

2. The jackass that follows you to your car in order to take your spot when you leave. This happened to me last week and I simply started my car, turned it back off and walked back into the store. The look on the guys face was priceless.

3. Special Buys. What a scam this is. In the fine print of the ad you will see the words limited quantity or only 7 per store. They do this to lure you into their store and switch you onto a more expensive product.

4. Blue Christmas lights. Why even bother? These are the ugliest lights on the planet (icicles from the gutters are a close 2nd). I have never met anyone that likes seeing those hideous things.

5. Drooping Christmas lights. If you are going to go to the effort of hanging them up make them straight. Nothing says WT more than drooping lights.

Mayor Funkhouser - Too little too late

Dear Mark,
You sir are a gigantic asshole.  For the past couple of years you have ignored the crime problem in this city despite the pleas of the citizens and victims that you have ignored.  Do you honestly believe that anyone is going to believe you when you say you "have a plan" to tackle the city's homicide rate?  We aren't stupid.  We realize that it was the loss of life that caused you to suddenly pay attention to the blood stained streets in this city or the citizens living in fear.

NO IT'S ELECTION SEASON

We understand that remaining mayor is more important to you than a life in the east side.  Don't even try to pretend that it isn't.  In-actions speak louder than words.  If we want to see your plan for crime we will go to the funeral of a murdered victim rather than attend one of your campaign rallies.

Kiss my ass,
JOCO SOB

Guest Post - Ernest Evans

   In the past few days there has been a great deal of much-needed media attention to the fact that the clearance rate for black-on-black homicides in KCMO has reached alarmingly low levels.  Right now it is 41% for all homicides and signifcantly lower for black-on-black homicides. (In contrast, KCK's clearance rate for all homicides is 70%)  While this trend is still in an early stage, I do have one alarming concern about it that I think needs to be highlighted:
