Slow news day?

On Drudge Report currently.

Yep, it's a animal story not titled "house of filth." It's about David Crupper's mission to raise chickens in Overland Park.

Not that Crupper's idea is a bad one (or a new one), but widespread attention for articles like this don't exactly help Kansas City's urban-professional image. And the exact same argument happened in the Milwaukee-area last week.

Besides, the Overland Park City Council doesn't even make a final decision on the issue for another month.

I just hope Drudge's millions of readers pay attention to the article and realize that this means Kansas City is on the cutting edge, not stuck in the rural past.

The latest movement within the "in" crowd in many first rate cities is eating locally. At the same time, many people today are way past "cutting edge" superficialities and their psuedo-sophistication.

Raising a few chickens unobtrusively helps one to eat locally and has the added advantage of providing a sense of self-sufficiency should emergency issues related to food transport arise. They make very intersting pets.

The litter from chickens is not smelly unless it has fermented for a long time and turned to creating ammonia. They are easy to clean-up after and not near as dirty as dogs or cats.
