Hot Pants

Summer is always hot and stupid in Kansas City. However, between a recent domestic dispute that ended in arson and all of the horrible cases of VD that will usually be transmitted during summer flings . . . This looks like it could be the summer of burning love.

The story of a local man setting fire to his ex-girlfriend's home won't seem too drastic to anyone who has ever really been in love. Let's face it, we've all been there. It probably seemed like a good idea at the time. In retrospect, the only crime is caring that much in the first place. Love stinks . . . Then smokes, and it is usually left in cinders and probably poses a risk of jail time as well.
