TKC EXCLUSIVE!!! MIKE HENDRICKS IS THE WORST HACK IN THE KANSAS CITY AREA AND NOW HE HAS A BLOG!!!

Normally, I like to encourage other bloggers but today I have to break tradition.

After having his salary cut to shreds by The Star . . . Underachieving JoCo columnist Mike Hendricks is now taking his (poorly) written tripe to the local blogosphere.

Even the title makes me want to puke.

He's calling it "Mike's Place" as if it was yet another prosaic JoCo tavern where the "men" in that tiny white village go to hide from their wives.

I never thought it was possible for me to so vehemently despise another human being I have never met but here we are . . .

I can only hope that he'll cancel his blog out of pure embarrassment.



And here's where he is making a mistake . . . Without the help of the Star's army of distributors wasting paper all over the City . . .

MIKE HENDRICKS IS NOW NOTHING MORE THAN YET ANOTHER WHITE MAN WITH AN OPINION!!!

A lame and under researched opinion at that . . . Still, bloggers should rejoice because Hendricks has heretofore talked (and written) an endless variety of smack about bloggers. Now, because of a cut in salary and hopefully because he'll soon be fired . . . Mike Hendricks is nothing more than a blogger.

Here's a bit of misdirection from Mike as to why he blogs:

Now back to the question of why people blog. They blog because they can and because it's cheap, as in free, and easy enough that even I can do it. And because we've all got something to say -- even if what we have to say doesn't always amount to anything.

Here's where you might insert a snarky joke and point out that yours truly, having written a general-interest newspaper column for the past dozen years or so, is the perfect example of that.Now to why I've started this blog. Quite frankly it's because I wanted another forum beyond my space in the newspaper, which is limited, to write about topics that don't often make it into my column.

I think there's a reference to me in his post when he notes that he won't be "SCREAMING AT THEM IN RED CAPITAL LETTERS the way some bloggers do." I think I returned the favor by being the first person in the area to comment on his bloggy effort . . . I'm kind that way.

Again, I hate to be "that guy" but it's clear that Hendricks doesn't know what he's doing and is simply drowning in a sea of JoCo desperation. His bloggy deal isn't going to work because it's a last resort that he doesn't believe in anyway and for that kind of hypocrisy I have to stop myself from hoping that both he and his family starve while waiting for a bloggy income.

Welcome to the blogosphere Mike!!!
