Thuggery at KU Continues as Mario Little Arrested

Few details are currently available, but KU Senior Mario Little was arrested overnight on charges of Battery, Criminal Damage, and Criminal Trespass - all misdemeanors. Police were called to an apartment building on Ohio St in Lawrence because of a disturbance around 3AM. Mario was booked and posted bail around 5AM this morning.

Little will most certainly be suspended from the Basketball team, maybe worse. Though maybe I'm wrong, Bill Self is known to put up with criminals and thuggery. You might remember Mario Little's involvement last year in the fights with the Football Team (makes me laugh to think about those idiots). Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch.

In other Big 12 Basketball news, Missouri Point Guard Michael Dixon was suspended indefinitely by Missouri Basketball coach Mike Anderson for unspecified violation of team rules. Word is the violation has nothing to do with breaking the law. Now that Mike Anderson he runs a tight ship. Go Tigers!

Christmas Sales - Shopping Deals and Doorbusters

Looking for great Kansas City Christmas sales, doorbusters and shopping deals?
by Kansas City News

Here are some great shopping deals and Christmas sales going on around Kansas City:

Nebraska Furniture Mart is having a sale called "Christmas Crunch" who's headline sale item is a 32" HDTV on sale for $329.99 - limit one per customer.  NFM is also offering 20 month financing with no interest if paid in full by August 2012.  They are offering free delivery on appliance purchases over 299.99, and claim to be giving away a FREE Samsung Intercept Cell Phone.  The cell phone is in conjunction with Sprint so I'm assuming that you probably have to sign on for something with them - the ad says new or current customers.  Nebraska Furniture Mart's Christmas web specials include the world famous "Snuggie" on sale for $13.99, a Toshiba 55" LCD TV for $1269.99.  Man, I remember when I paid $1600 for my 55 inch Sony - I'm sure that some of you paid a lot more than that if you bought an HDTV when they were first introduced.  Ah, technology - my favorite is the cell phone industry;  you buy a new cell phone and 6 months later you take it up to the store to get something fixed and they've never even heard of your phone..."oh, that phone is out of production now"...  And back to the Christmas Sales:


Best Buy's Christmas sale is offering up the Apple iPad for $499.99, a Dynex 32" LCD TV for $259.99, and Best Buy is also offering a range of free cell phones.  For 3 days only (or so they say) the musical instrument department is offering $5 - $30 off karaoke machines and acoustic guitars, and they have a full size Roland keyboard for $799.99.

Walmart is having perhaps the biggest Christmas sale, although this year they will not be doing any doorbusters where people get trampled to death.  Walmart's Christmas sale includes a Dell Inspiron 15.6" Laptop for $488, a Viore 24" LCD TV for $199, a Radio Flyer tricycle for $25, a Nintendo Wii Console with Wii Fit Plus and Balance Board for $249, and they advertising Kansas City's best prices on all iPods.

It looks like TVs, cell phones and the new Nintendo Wii products are the focus of many shoppers this Christmas.  There are some great deals out there, but remember that it is always better to wait and make larger purchases after the holiday when the stores have a surplus.  If you can, wait until mid-January to get that new TV - I guarantee it will be cheaper by then.  Happy shopping Kansas City!

Elderly Woman Beats Attacker With Frying Pan

When 25 year old Kevin Funderburk talked his way into the home of an elderly Hutchinson woman on Saturday night, he got more than he bargained for. The woman felt sorry for Funderburk when he knocked on her door and told her he was homeless and had nowhere to go. He was drunk and didn't want trouble with the Police, he told her (so much for that). Once inside, he attempted to rape the 71 yr old woman, injuring her and causing property damage.

She grabbed a frying pan and beats this idiot senseless. When Police arrived, he was unconscious in a puddle of his own vomit. He was taken to a Wichita hospital to get his head stapled back together before being escorted to the Reno County Jail, where he sits with a $55,200 bond. He is being charged with Attempted Rape, Aggravated Battery, Criminal Damage of Property, and Criminal Restraint. He is also being held on an extradition warrant to California. No information is available about what California wants him for.

I think they should just send him to California, let them pay for his incarceration. They will like a nice little white boy like him in Folsom.

Morning Rush Hour - Kansas City

Morning Rush Hour in Kansas City
by Kansas City News

I have owned my own business since 1996 when I retired from the accounting business.  I have not seen a morning rush hour in Kansas City since.  All I can say is - WOW - you guys are freaking crazy!  Cut-throat dashing and slashing in traffic - rude cutoffs, horn blowing and giving the finger.  And then you pull into the Quik Trip parking lot - a feat that requires at least 3 years of NASCAR driving school.  Then you get into Quik Trip and line up at the Holy Alter - the QuikTrip coffee machine.  Oh, the Quik Trip coffee has to have massive amounts of CRACK in it to be this popular.  Are you kidding me?

I was impressed to see that there was still some polite door holding for folks and a general good attitude.  But DUDE, you morning rush hour people are hauling ass!  Everything is quick and to the point and I must say that I am generally impressed.  I understand now why I get messages from my clients at 8:47am with such urgency and then when I go to answer their questions and respond around 4pm they are much more laid back.  The coffee buzz has run it's course and they are ready to be home with the wife and kids.

I admire you, oh morning rush hour tweakers - crackheads have NOTHING on you guys - you are the real tweakers.  Running your own business is VERY stressful, but that morning rush upon the city is a miracle to behold, and I congratulate all of you who can function at that insane level.

Health Care Reform Law Ruled Unconstitutional.

Thank God for the State of Virginia! Today a Virginia federal court judge ruled a critical part of Obamacare is unconstitutional. He justified his ruling by saying that Obamacare exceeds the power of Congress, under the Constitution’s Commerce and General Welfare Clauses, to force Americans to purchase health insurance.

Wow…that is so strange…why it only seems like people with half a brain have been saying this for months and months and months…even prior to the passing of the law nobody read before they signed it. How can a President, a Speaker of the House, and a Senate majority leader be so pompous, stupid, and bold to think that their passing of a Health Care Law that most Americans opposed and believed unconstitutional (given you could understand the constitution), was good for America? I am still baffled by this.

I think Americans who are for Obamacare don’t realize that repealing it doesn’t mean there can’t be health care reform. In fact, if when the thieves who have stolen our country are finally kicked out in 2012, we will not only be able to formally repeal Obamacare, but be able to implement health care reform that is far more effective, takes care of the people who actually need it, and doesn’t force the rest of America to have it.

I never thought anyone could be dumber than Moe, Curly, and Larry of the Three Stooges…until America got stuck with Obama, Pelosi, and Reid…the three worst leaders in our nation’s history.
