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.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.
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.
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!!!
So nice, so nice.
ReplyDeleteThat's just mean.
ReplyDeletemike is a legendary kansas city ass wipe.
ReplyDeleteMike, if you're going to do blogs than you're going to have to defend yourself.
ReplyDeletethe headline should be tony beats the star. they can't beat be so they are going join me.
ReplyDeleteI feel bad for Mike. The writing on the blog is just as bad if not worse than his column.
ReplyDeleteYes, I work for The Star.
ReplyDeletegreat. something else I won't read.
ReplyDeleteSo fucking ghey using FAIL..douche.
ReplyDeleteDo you have a real job Tony?
ReplyDeleteNo, I don't think Tony has a real job. But then again neither will Hendricks in about 2 months. And that explains his blog.
ReplyDeleteBwahahahahahahahahaha!
Hey Tony, what's up with Crime Scene KC? It's been removed from the Star's Blog roll, and I can't access it from Google or anything... Tell me they didn't cut their best blog to give this guy one.
ReplyDeleteHendricks = D-bag
ReplyDeleteCrime Scene KC should still be up.
ReplyDeleteAnother cracker in JOCO with a blog.
ReplyDeleteJoco sob--the original cracker in joco with a blog
ReplyDeleteThe difference is clear.
ReplyDeleteThe jocosob is entertaining.
Hendricks is not.
tony is anonymous
ReplyDeleteNo I am.
ReplyDeleteme too.
ReplyDeletei don't care how bad someone's blog is, writing on someone's face in a photo is pretty chickenshit stuff
ReplyDeletereminds me of fraternity pranksters at KU who wrote "fag" on a kid's forehead after he'd fallen to his death from an upper-story dorm window
if bloggers want to be taken seriously (as I believe they should) they might have to grow out of doing shit like this. I guess it works for perez hilton, but if people like he and tony are running the blogosphere, god help us!
Chickenshit?
ReplyDeleteYou don't expect more than that from a manchild in his 30s who never left home.

Yeah, writing on a photo is much the same as writing on a dead body.
Good point.
ain't the same just shows the same lack of class, albeit on a different scale
ReplyDeleteOh my God! Bwahahahahaha is back! I thought we'd lost that braying jackass for good --- but unfortunately, no.
ReplyDeletewhat a bunch of pussies!!!! whaaaaaaaa!!! go get a hug from your sensitive gay boyfriends you bitches!
ReplyDeleteTony: I think you've reached the lowly level of a word prostitute. The sad thing is ... you enjoy it.
ReplyDelete'...YET ANOTHER WHITE MAN WITH AN OPINION!!!' What does race have to do with it?
ReplyDeleteSeriously, if you want to take issue with a columnist, then stick to the substance. Otherwise, you're just another racist pretender.
