  1. Haven't you been to the cafe and heard the news? There will be no harvest this year.
  2. Am I the only one that imagines that Pigmeat was screaming like a bitch all the way to the ground?
  3. Improperly placed Bob Nightengale tweet goes here. Ooops. He says White Sox will put Getz at GM and Moore as Club Prez. Chris Getz and Dayton Moore? Really? I don’t know if Getz is a worthy choice or not but I know DM isn’t. Sorry Sox fans. Get ready for faith based baseballing.
  4. Shifting gears, slightly. Burns is a very small town on Marion County's southern border. https://www.kwch.com/2023/08/16/former-burns-police-chief-arrested-child-sex-crimes/ I am told he is a former MarionCoKs Sheriff's Deputy. If someone with better skills would post this to the drag queen thread, I would be much obliged.
  5. This is where you are wrong. We have people that shop out of town for liquor so that the rest of the townies won't know. Marion Co. Mennonites and Baptists are judgy as fuck.
  6. https://www.kwch.com/2023/08/16/marion-co-record-attorney-says-seized-items-have-been-returned/ Seems that things are afoot. Also, it seems that earlier I spoke out of my ass (hat tip @Brisketexan) about missing funds. They are not missing. The correct amount is $449K and they have been placed in a different part of the budget than they are supposed to be in. The councilwoman and the mayor do not see eye to eye on the legality/appropriateness of this. My bad.
  7. Bad marks for improper plating, I know. Fried Spam, Kraft cheese food slices, dill pickles on a sesame seed hamburger bun. That last pickle from the jar had a lot of skin but the crunch was satisfying.
  8. Not nearly enough underbite. I mean, we're talking bulldog level underbite. You've seen my picture, you're better than this.
  9. This might make a good movie some day but I'm not sure that the death of a newspaperwoman will be enough to grab Hollywood. We will need an attempted murder at the very least for Lifetime to do it. If it does get made, I want Clooney to play my role.
  10. Today's rumor is that the County attorney has the affidavit but won't release it. Is that the office where it would logically be? The town is buzzing. A reporter from the NY Times called one of my buddies, a business owner, and asked a lot of questions about the newspaper folks and the community in general. If the council woman is correct that there are missing funds, it would be great for a large newspaper with forensic reporters to take this and run with it.
  11. Would one of you lawyer types take a look at this, please? I'm confused by search warrent and affidavit of probable cause. https://www.kansascity.com/news/state/kansas/article278245883.html Apparently, Ms Newell posted to Facebook that she and the CoP were NOT sleeping together but it was quickly deleted. Nobody I know took a screenshot so it is just a rumor at this point. Another interesting item is that the city councilwoman that was part of the raided has been trying to get the Mayor to respond to her claim that $600K of city funds is supposedly missing. She claims he has been giving her the run around. Going back to my earlier post about the hotel selling Newell the restaurant, the hotel was purchased by these folks from the city after it had sat vacant for many years. It seemed like a sweetheart deal at the time. Just like an onion.
  12. I had to laugh last night when a local news reporter was interviewing one of the retired farmers from down the road. Wearing his Maga hat, he was actually crying and saying "This is America. We don't do things this way". Wake up, Bob. This is exactly the way your saviour wants it.
  13. The paper did not, in this instance, publish info about the DUI. The information was given to them anonymously, they thought it was a setup and contacted the police. The police shared the information with Newell and she went off the rails. I agree that small town newspapers can abuse their position but in this case they were acting with a lot of caution. Remember that Newell had already kicked the reporters out of a public meeting for a meet and greet with an elected official. In addition to this, the paper had received tips from other anonymous sources that our Chief of Police had been run out of his previous employment in KC under questionable circumstances. Word got back to the CoP that he was being investigated by the paper and you can see why he would be eager to stick it to them.
  14. I laughed really hard at this. More than 50 years ago, KFH-FM "Underground" was giving away a copy of The Who's "Magic Bus" to the first person that showed up at the shopping center parking lot they were parked in. I was 2nd and got a copy of "Mad Birds of Prey" by Influence. Terrible record.
  15. All of this is true and there are towns all over America, even in Texas!, that are just as fucked up. We Kansans hold no monopoly on dumbassery. Doesn't excuse any of it. Just pointing out that morans surround us all.
  16. One funny(not funny?) note in the article is that a local business has a back the blue type sign in the window. The owner of that business was outed as a former onlyfans model by a former City administrator (since fired for these actions) and that was then reported by the newspaper. She has since closed her business. Pretty obvious why the sign was there. To my knowledge it is the only sign for either side in town. I would get you some links to this,Ant, but I really need to get some work done today. You can scan the Record's archives easily. ETA: Goddammit, the layers of this just keep getting deeper. That City Admin was hired without adequate vetting that would have revealed that he had a past history of sexual harrassment at previous employment. The CoP at that time and his wife (city employee) both resigned because the council did nothing about this administrator prior to this mess. That same group of people then hired this CoP . Without a thorough vetting. Seems like there was a lesson to be learned but what do I know? Confusing, I know.
  17. To go full circle, there is this. https://www.hillsborofreepress.com/news/parlour-1886-at-the-elgin-to-change-hands-but-keep-same-great-prices The seller of the restaurant is the wife of the ex-hospital admin.
  18. If you have the time to go even deeper, there is this. http://marionrecord.com/direct/hospital_chief_quits_mum_on_why+5432quits+486f73706974616c2063686965662071756974732c206d756d206f6e20776879 And that Administrator's brother is this guy. https://www.marioncoks.net/people/joel-ensey I'm sure there is no connection at all.
  19. I'm ashamed to say this is my hometown. Brisket is right, most of these fucks around here only care about the 2nd Amendment. The rest of that rag isn't important. Unless the Feds gets involved, I don't see anybody in the State that has the will or want to make this right. Our AG is a POS (sound familiar?)and our well meaning Gov has been rendered toothless by the lege. Fuck
  20. Less than a week ago we had a couple days over 105 and 27 straight days in triple digits. A cold front blew through last night with 80 mph straight winds, knocking out power in our area. It’s 57 this morning. 62 in the house. Power is back on but we won’t need AC for a few hours. It’s a nice respite but it will be hot again soon.
