Kansas City Checkpoint, Penny Mathis And A Local News Link Cleanup

It seems that the KCI DUI CHECKPOINT CRACKDOWN as in full effect last night:

Kansas City Missouri police made 17 DUI arrests Friday night during a five-hour sobriety checkpoint at 29th Street and 71 Highway.

For better or worse, I'm never really upset by this kind of crackdown because I rarely leave my (mom's) basement AND I'm not afraid to hoof it home given that I really need a haircut and I'm starting to scare homeless people.

Nevertheless . . . At least a few of you have written in this morning and noted that NOBODY was in a good mood at last night's checkpoint. In an attempt to be objective . . . I can only hope a link to doing her laundry and Penny Mathissmiling in her underwear will improve the mood of drunks, cops and advocates of civil liberties.

As far as other links are concerned . . . Here's what's floating around Saturday afternoon . . .

TKC note to self: Also need to do my laundry and/or find willing bikini model.
