The Thursday Evening Link Hug



I'm embracing these links . . . And actually I'm kind of busy so check out this interesting stuff while I hang with more important people than most of the readers of this dump.

  • Crime Scene KC keeps count of Kansas City Murders: KCMO homicide count stands at 53

  • Killing the environment is much more convenient: Two More Metro Bus Routes Being Eliminated

  • Man Charged With Murder In KCK Slayings

  • Local justice: Assistant federal prosecutor Beth Phillips is in line to be named U.S. Attorney for Western Missouri, KMBC's Micheal Mahoney reported Thursday.

  • Another sign of harsh times in Joco: New Thrift Store Opens in Overland Park

  • Suburbanites hate not having power: About 2,200 Without Power in Johnson County

  • This makes conservatives nuts: ACORN wins voter lawsuit

  • Even the Mayor's useless complaining is incompetent: Funkhouser contrasts $500,000 hotel study with police cuts; Councilman Russ Johnson corrects record and notes those funds couldn't have been spent on police anyway.



    Michael Jackson dead at 50

  • Bottomline Communications offers high praise for a piece on a recent NPR morning program from KCUR newsie Syliva Maria Gross.

  • Rockets for the 200 post from Idiocracy Now

      Michael Jackson died according to the LA Times which would be the best source for a story like this. I hope many of his fans will remember him when he was a little boy leading the Jackson Five. He was cute, creative and funny! Full of life...

      We won't be remembering Funkhouser this way. We can rest assured of that. If the Star is still being published, maybe a blurb about our Accidental and Pathetic Mayor. But nothing more than that... unless Dan of Gone Mild has taken over the Star at that juncture.

      ABC is easy as 123, ABC.....anyway. Michael was adorable as a child star. Unfortunately, Michael will be best known as a pedophile. "Thriller" was good too. Also, I had the Farrah poster.

      Everyone had that poster.

      What a sad day.

      What great memories of the 1970s and early 1980s. At the risk of sounding like an old fogey, it truly was a much simpler time.

      Sigh. No matter what, always Tony plays favorites, avoids those critical of him. Like us all, it's his weakness that ruins his best efforts. No matter how we deny it, we are still flesh, blood, and our petty feelings.
