Fast Eddie Friday.......Here we go, fast and loose...

BIG DRUG BUST IN BELTON!!!!! Well, kind of, sort of, not really. KCTV 5 has been blowing so much smoke up the collective ass of their viewers, we all may need to get get an anal bleaching just to remove the smoke stains. The big drug bust was conducted on a discount smoke shop, that's smoke as in cigarettes, not smoke as in Hippy Lettuce. So what was this GREAT BIG HUGE ASS RAID all about? Hookahs, maybe some blown glass pipes, the same shit you find in most discount smoke shops. One would think that the Belton cops would be a little more concerned about the 4 or 5 trailer parks that house meth labs, or any number of crime problems that the rapidly growing suburb faces. But back to KCTV 5, home of the scary voice over guy, the big investigative reports, that ominous voice, promising to open your eyes to some dastardly shenanigans going on, right under your nose. The station that brought us allegations of patients being raped in hospitals, allegations that sound horrific as all get out, but have produced zero charges, . They reported on A DANGEROUS RING OF SHOPLIFTERS!!!!!!!! Start out with scary voice guy, throw in some security footage of people stealing shit from a store, viola, you have yourself a major theft ring. The problem is, these people are just boosters, shoplifters, a time worn tradition carried out by millions of petty thieves and klepto housewives, ever since the first caveman opened up a Rocks R Us. Nothing really to see here folks, move along. It seems that the crack investigative news team is about to go the way of the Dodo bird, according to BLC's, John ( the voice of conscience and scolder of unethical bloggers and newsies) Landsberg.


Speaking of unethical bloggers, yours truly will be debuting his freelance, yuk yuk, writin skillz this coming Wednesday , the ninth, when KC Free Press goes on line. Here is the press release. Now if you are expecting me to drop a bunch of gratuitous eff bombs, you'll probably be a little disappointed. I'll be doing some stuff on Kansas City spots you may or may not be aware of, my first piece, well, I guess you'll just have to wait like everyone else. I'm also going to cover some crime related news and stories, that is if I make it past the editorial staff. Look for me to break some stories in the future that the mainstream media has overlooked, but not right out of the gate. I'm taking a few baby steps before I try to navigate the steep staircase of hard hitting journalism, or something. So make sure and watch as I either grow into Kansas City's own Hunter S Thompson, or spiral into a tailspin, crashing and burning, my hopes of being a paid writer dashed by my one trick pony skills. Either way, it should be a hoot, and at least half of you people will see your wishes fulfilled. That said, nothing, and I repeat, nothing will change here. I'll make you laugh, cry, think, shake your bulbous heads in amazement at my audacity and lack of class. Hey, it's what I do, and why you come here. Still, I'm looking forward to trying my hand at something new, just to see if I've got it in me. I appreciate the chance to stretch my chops, so thanks to the folks at KC Free Press for that.
Have a safe weekend.
