Brian Boyd - Music Was His Life

On Friday night at 11pm the Blue Valley area lost a great young man and musician, Brian Boyd.  He died south of Lawrence, Ks in a traffic accident just after 11pm and the news of his passing shook the whole area.

I never knew Brian but he was a great friend to my younger siblings in my family and he will be greatly missed by all who knew him or knew of him.  

From what I have been told Brian was a friend to everyone and made sure to treat people as such.  He was considered a genius musically and pushed band members at BVN to become the best that they could be.  That is rare to find nowadays in a "me first" world.  

Here is a quote from one of his best friends.

"It's hard to but the legend of who is Brian Boyd in to words Other than everyone who spent any time with him gained a friend. It's just hard knowing how invincible he had been going through a lot of rough times and always coming out on top with a grin. He was too wreck less and never wore his seatbelt which came back to haunt him."

Rest in Peace Brian and thank you for being there for those in my family that were lucky enough to know you.

Kansas City needs vs Kansas City wants

Anyone that has been following Kansas City politics for the past few years has to be scratching their heads about the prioritization of projects.  The lack of recognition of the basic needs and wants of the citizens of Kansas City is a clear sign of blatant disregard and political elitism by elected and unelected leaders.  Is there anyone in City Hall or the KC Country club that gives a crap?

It would seem to me that the biggest needs for the city are the following 

• Sewers
• Tearing down of Abandoned Houses
• Increased Policing
• Sidewalks
• Vacant lot cleanup 
• Blight (half destroyed buildings, overgrown lawns, gang signs spray painted)
• Something done with old schools
• Getting rid of Kemper Arena
• Improved roadways
• Better trash pickup and snow removal
• Lower Taxes
• More equipment for first responders.

Instead the great minds in Kansas City have spent all their time and effort on the following

• A light rail system that does absolutely nothing 
• Redoing the one thing that people in the city thinks works, the airport.
• A downtown hotel
• Removing homeless from camps
• Fact finding trips vacations for government employees 
• Government control of Union Station (private ownership would have that thing making money hand over fist)
• Low level drug arrests instead of high level players
• Gun buyback programs that do NOT reduce crime
• Retrofitting Kauffman instead of building downtown. 
• Funkhouser legal fees
• MAST
• 1000 other wastes of money

Here are some questions that I have

• Can you imagine what the city would look and feel like if the leaders actually listened to the people instead of worrying about legacy projects or elitist paybacks for political support?  
• Wouldn't you like to see the Kemper family invest in cleaning up the city instead of crappy art that only 1% of the residents of this city will see?  
• Don't the elitist in this city owe the residents something for all of the crap that the taxpayers have funded for them?  
• Isn't anyone holding the politicians accountable for the lack of progress in addressing the basic needs of the city?
• Does the city budget contain a breakdown of money spent per region in the city?  I think it would be interesting to see how much tax dollar money went to the Plaza, Downtown, Crown Center, East Side, West Side and NKC.  

Obama Administration = Paranoia Justified

For the past 3 years we have been extensively covering the attack on personal freedoms by extremist and our government and along the way some people have said that we were blowing things out of proportion.  They said that there is no way that the government would ever stoop to such tactics and that the constitution protects us from these attacks.  

REALLY? 

Anyone ready to change their mind yet?  This government run by the most corrupt politician in history has betrayed us all and is unworthy of our trust.  From murder cover ups, political slander, IRS investigations, lies about terrorism, voter fraud..... there isn't a soul alive that should trust them.

Kyle Flack takes advantage of Franklin County incompetence

And due to their incompetence we will never know if 18 month Lana could of been saved from Kyle Flack.

1.  Can someone tell me how the law enforcement officers for Franklin County got their jobs?  I
don't think I have seen this much incompetence since Barney tried to arrest moonshiners without Andy.
2.  Doesn't attempting to issue an Amber Alert for a missing kid several days after she goes missing go against what the freaking Amber Alert is for?   You don't sound tornado sirens 3 weeks after they hit a city do you?
3.  When you get a call regarding a smell that is worst than garbage SHOULDN'T you investigate it a little further?
4.  That residence was a frequent location of the mother and child. DID YOU NOT THINK to check out that property a little bit earlier in the investigation?

As for the alleged murderer Kyle Flack.  I hope to god that you experience a slow and painful execution.  What type of sick and twisted fuck murders 3 people and a FREAKING TODDLER?  Rot in hell you piece of shit.
