Now let's look at some links

I think starting off the morning with a few lesser links is the way to go . . . Here are a few interesting stories that didn't quite merit a post in my book:

Funkhouser finally does the right thing concerning the Parks Board, it only took him a year and loss of support in the urban core!!!

Kansas City hit and run scumbag takes the term literally: Driver Hits Woman, Flees on Foot

Con threatening America's Super-retailer, loses just like small towns and Chinese toddlers who make most of the company's products: Prison Inmate Admits Threatening KC Wal-Mart
