Cowtown Corral : Rawhide!

This is a new feature on TKC where a few local news items get rounded up. Yee-haw! (Note: That's the last time I'll ever write "yee-haw" and the only time you'll see it referenced without country music immediately following)

• Kansas National Guard goes to Iraq, because there is still a war over there. Remember? In fact, I hear it's not going so well. Speaking of bad news, are Nick and Jessica still together?


• There are many diseases you could get on a romantic getaway at The Elms. They're still trying to identify what could be affecting some local cheerleaders.


• Is your man beating the shit out of you? Only your hairdresser knows for sure. Phil Kline wants your stylist to dish and he promises not to reveal the real color of your roots . . . unless he can get some political mileage out of it later.


• Funeral held for abused puppy. Homeless dying of heat stroke would probably be more troubling if it was okay to pet them.


• Precious Doe will be buried again. No word if she's being exhumed for a photo op with Alonzo Washington.


• Upskirt photographer caught by surveillance camera. Somewhere there is an Irony Meter exploding.


• Two fans were shot after a Bow Wow concert, probably for something other than their shitty taste in music.
