• Columbia police chief wants Jayhawks arrested

  Crime Scene KC is right. This mock press release from interim Columbia Chief of Police Tom Dresner is a pretty great follow up to his hometown Missouri Tigers falling to the Kansas Jayhawks. Dresner wrote the note to Lawrence Chief of Police W. Ronald Olin, saying he was issuing warrants for first-degree robbery against the entire Jayhawk football team. "Not since the horrendous 'Fifth Down' robbery committed against us by the Colorado Buffalos on October 6, 1990 have the citizens of our fair ci

• Highway patrol to libertarians: We're sorry

  Bob Barr = Not a terrorist after allNo sooner did I finish writing about the controversy surrounding a Fusion Center report linking Libertarians to extremist groups, the issue has apparently been resolved. According to a new release from the Missouri Libertarian Party this morning, the director of the Department of Public Safety issued a contrite statement apologizing for the political group's inclusion in a law enforcement backgrounder on militant separatists.

  It's Bathtime, kids.If someone had mentioned "the bathysphere" to use yesterday, I'd have pictured an atmospheric ring of bathtub scum suspended in high orbit.

Its got quite a concert reviews archive -- many in CoMo, but a few from here, the earliest KC show being Modest Mouse at City Market in 2007. Dangit! Surely I've seen this site before and ju
