KMBC channel 9 brings us the shocking news that there are ties to Mexican drug cartels in Kansas City. Well dip my balls in Milnot and squat me in a sink full of kittens, who knew. This hard cutting bit O bullshit journalism and non news comes on the heels of a justice dept report. It's also a glaring example of local news stations attempting to sound hard hitting while actually not doing or saying anything relevant. Here's a newsflash for ya, every crumb of shitty brick weed that comes in to any city in the nation has ties to Mexican drug cartels. Every 10 dollar package of tar heroin, and most of the coke trade in the nation has ties to some drug cartel. I'm all for cracking down on these cartels, mainly because I'm tired of smoking weed that tastes like a dirty gym sock. I make that previous statement to highlight the fact that we Americans are the main reason the drug trade flourishes. I get annoyed when "reputable news" outlets try to grab our attention by throwing out hyper sensationalized horse shit. The truth is, as long as we are creating a demand for coke and heroin, someone is going to supply it. It isn't news that an impoverished country, who shares a border with the U S, is a major supplier of coke and heroin. Slapping up some pictures of graffiti, name dropping the Justice dept. and MS13, while pretending it's news, is laughable to anyone paying attention.
There is more than a little stink being raised over the First lady touching the Queen. The response is so retarded ( yes, I said retarded), I'm not even going to bother linking it. It's not like she dug two knuckles deep up the Matriarchs ass, she simply responded to the queen touching her in what passes for an embrace in the land of bad teeth and ass backwards steering wheels. I find it especially laughable that Americans are jumping on the bandwagon. Since when did we worry about protocol, pomp and a royal family whose tree has fewer branches than the banjo player in deliverance? Look, I'm not one of these groupies who think the Obamas are infallible, but seriously , with all of the problems in the world today, I think we can find something more relevant than this minor faux pas.
Finally on a brighter note. China has the Great Wall. Germany had a wall, and tore it down. Off of west 39th we have this great wall. I'd like to have an entire house built like this. I'm a simple man, with simply horrible taste, and this thing makes me smile every time I pass it. Have a safe weekend. Keep an eye out for roving gangs of MS13 drug dealers, don't touch any limeys, and don't do anything I would do, it would probably kill you, or at the very least make you look like an idiot.
It seems there is no real news. The Star had the "Circus" tour on the front page above the fold yesterday. That woman is not news. Why do I still subscribe to this rag?

I like the bowling ball as well. There's a similar thing on one of those roads between Roseadle Park and Southwest Blvd, though I think it also has sculptures as well as bowling balls built into the wall
I think we need to use "Scared Straight" tactics with drug users in this country. Haul their asses into jail and make them watch beheadings courtesy of the Mexican drug cartels who are happy to film their work. Make them watch till they throw up their guts and then make them clean it up. Maybe we should start with people like this:

Oh but that wouldn't be politically correct now would it. Instead we'll bury this story and instead vilify the people who were shopping the video for money who although are also despicable people, still doesn't change the fact that the rich and powerful don't play by the same rules as the rest of us.
You would think that the failure of prohibition would be obvious even to the great brains up in D.C. I'm not saying legalize cocaine and heroin. That would be a mistake. But decriminalizing marijuana would hurt the cartels so bad that it would come pretty close to bankrupting them. If gasoline were free, the gas stations couldn't afford to stay open just selling junk food and cigarettes. If any american who wanted something to smoke could grow it in his own back yard, the price of other drugs would go so high that they would price themselves out of business. But that would make too much sense. And the commercial production of hemp would put such a hurt on the shadowy figures behind Big Oil and Big Paper that they wouldn't be able to afford solid gold toilets anymore. That would be a crime in itself.

ReplyDeleteI used to agree with you that scare tactics are the way to go. Throw them in jail and call it a day. But we have been doing that for years and have arrested over 20 million people since the sixties. So the scare tactic you speak of has been done, we are doing it and it has placed is in a situation way worse than before. I think we need to take an opposite approach to this problem. It is time to start thinking instead of reacting.
Like the "Touch" story, we had the stories about Michelle O'Bama wearing sleeveless dresses. Oh, the horrors! Ever hear of the 2nd Amendment, the right to bare arms? She's just exercising her rights, people!

I love the bowling ball wall. It should receive protected status in case the city ever decides to do away with it.
ReplyDeletebowling bowl barrier - amazing
ReplyDeleteMore photos of the bowling ball wall please.
ReplyDeleteJunk food and cigarettes is exactly what they make their money on.
ReplyDeleteThe bowling ball wall is on 41st Street. I walk past it on a regular basis. I remember when the lady "artist" put it together. Funny thing is that some of the bowling balls have split open due to the weather and freeze/thaw cycle. So it's definitely what some including my fiance would call "shabby chic". In any case, that wall along with the guy with barbie doll head glued to his car are the eccentric reasons I love living in Midtown. You can't find that in the bland, mayonaise is spicey burbs.
