• Stealing Time: Sexy Keith King protects sexy models from dune buggy selling photographer

  I'm moving S-L-O-W this morning. Thanks to bottle of wine, Shaun of the Dead and about three-and-a-half hours of sleep! That's my excuse. What's yours, Derek Donovan? The Star ombudsman misspelled Abu Ghraib -- he spelled it Abu Ghraid -- in this post about, uh, misspelling names. I've made the correction for Donovan following his handy dandy guide to correction writing: "An entry on Derek Donovan's blog on Nov. 26 misspelled Abu Ghraib." Feel free to use that, Derek. Not sure where my favorite

• Stealing Time: KSHB wants you to make sexy booty calls

  Sexy KSHB wants you to make sexy text message booty calls this sexy New Year. In a sexy story simply titled "Booty Call," sexy NBC Action News reporter Karen Graber apparently didn't know that sexy booty calls can come via sexy text message. In a not-so -sexy development, the story is actually about unsexy Baby Center's Booty Caller, which sends equally unsexy text message reminders when a woman is ovulating. ** Claims of Karen Graber's sexiness can not be confirmed. Sexy Graber does use the sex

  Kansas Congresswoman Lynn "Where the white folks at?" Jenkins gave MSNBC's hyperbolic liberal Keith Olbermann ammunition with her 1900s-era call for a "great white hope" to defeat African-American World Heavyweight Champion Jack Johnson.

Let it rip, Keith.Visit msnbc.com for Breaking News, World News, and News about the Economy Jenkins was having a rough go o

• The red-light camera money suck

  ​Awesome report on the red-light cameras possibly costing Kansas City money by KMBC Channel 9's Micheal Mahoney. Mahoney's reporting showed that the city isn't pulling in as much money from the tickets as it thought it would, and there's a huge ass backlog of tickets in muni court. It's so bad that the police have to pay officers overtime to review the tickets. And here's the part that will make you cringe: City Council member Deb Hermann said, "All those projections of money for the city have
