Wow, how much of a dick institution do you have to be to not even allow the Governor of your state, who many are talking about as being the next vice-president, have a t-shirt proclaiming that Kansas University obviously supports Barack Obama for the next president of the United States.
I guess in the eyes of Kansas University there is no such thing as bad publicity.
Yesterday I shot a story about the upcoming auction of "The Music Exchange". For diehard vinyl fans and people who love decanters and other memorabilia oddities this is a must attend event. It was a blast seeing all the stuff that will be up for auction and sell.
I think my favorite was the "Blaxploitation" genre movie poster for "Five on the Black Hand Side." The tag line at the top reads:
"You’ve been coffy-tized, blacula-rized and super-flied - but now you’re gonna be glorified, unified and filled-with-pride… when you see Five on the Black Hand Side."
I can’t wait till these dinosaurs are gone from Congress. It is obvious that for some, wisdom does not come with age.
Some old and out of touch lame asses House and Senate Democrats are so fearful of free speech that they are trying to silence your Representatives and Senators from posting information on the internet.
The percentage of voters who give Congress good or excellent ratings has fallen to single digits for the first time in Rasmussen Reports tracking history. This month, just 9% say Congress is doing a good or excellent job. Most voters (52%) say Congress is doing a poor job, which ties the record high in that dubious category. …
The percentage of Democrats who give Congress positive ratings fell from 17% last month to 13% this month. The number of Democrats who give Congress a poor rating remained unchanged. Among Republicans, 8% give Congress good or excellent ratings, up just a point from last month. Sixty-five percent (65%) of GOP voters say Congress is doing a poor job, down a single point from last month.
Voters not affiliated with either party are the most critical of Congressional performance. Just 3% of those voters give Congress positive ratings, down from 6% last month. Sixty-three percent (63%) believe Congress is doing a poor job, up from 57% last month.
I’m cutting an open for 6pm newscast. Today has been pretty boring, although as i drove to Overland Park PD (126TH and Foster) to pick some video of a smash and grab, i once again wondered to myself…. What the F@?$ do some of these people do to afford these huge ass homes. Obviously not cut opens for newscasts.
Today im covering a crash involving a small aircraft where two people were killed outside of linwood kansas. Which is reason enough for me to stay off those dang things.
The funny part about this video, besides the fact that a bug flies into the reporters mouth, is the fact that everyone watching local news usually only hears the reporters “TV” voice, listen as he goes from mister tv reporter to…..well just listen. If you are at work don’t turn the speakers up to loud…there are some colorful words used.

I usually have to listen to the last half hour of oprah while i wait for my 5pm live shot. According to my calculations Oprah owes me a couple thousand hours of life.
Ever since May Sweeps has started things have been crazy busy, which is why i haven’t posted in a while. But as sweeps is winding down i finally have a chance to catch my breath.
May sweeps 2008 will be remembered for one thing. Tornado’s……. Oh and bad tornado coverage cliches.
Homes flattened
Cars tossed around like toys
Sounded like a train
Cutting a wide swatch of destruction
Flying debris
Looked like a war zone.
And now the cleanup begins.
The morning brings the sober reality of what happened
Officials are touring the hardest-hit areas today, assessing the damage.
Families picking up the pieces
adios,
we now return you to your regularly scheduled program already in progress….
My T mobile Dash,which I’ve had for almost 2 years and love it, was one of the first phones to come with wifi capabilities. So the other day while waiting to do a live shot at the river market i fired it up to see if i could get some wifi signals. Sadly the Market it self doesn’t provide free wifi, but what i found more amusing was how someone chose to name their wifi signal, take a look at the pic closely.
Gary must of been a real douche. Now that is some funny sh!t!
