Kansas City Shuts Down For X-mas

The biggest mainstream media story of the past few days fell through . . . It's raining and not really snowing. Still, local weather newsies are most likely looking to the sky and praying to Santa that their predictions turn out right for a change.

Meanwhile . . . The newscycle has come to a halt. Proof:

The Star's front page features . . .

A story about tanning salon taxes that's only of interest to JoCo ladies with bad skin.

Outdated Snow forecasts, of course

And even X-mas shopping news

The next time somebody talks about the future of journalism in this town I'm going to hit them with a folded up copy Auto Trader magazine.

Still, I'm in finally in the X-mas spirit given that I STILL have all my shopping to do . . . So I'd like to share a photo gallery of Lindsay Lohan as bikini Kris Kringle who will bring the burning sensation of the holiday season to the pants of many unlucky club-hoppers.

I think I'm only gonna post a few things now that I'm finally up at the crack of noon.
