for all the porn-peddling perverts in Johnson County have been tarred, feathered, and indicted:

A grand jury has accused three Johnson County businesses of promoting obscenity, according to indictments handed down late Tuesday.

Even though the grand jury was convened in Johnson County District Court to investigate obscenity, the latest indictments are the first that actually deal with the subject.

Each of the three businesses was indicted on multiple counts, all misdemeanors.

According to court documents:

• Spirit Halloween, 6824 W. 119th St. in Overland Park, displayed adult costumes where minors could view them.

• Hollywood at Home, 9063 Metcalf Avenue in Overland Park, “unlawfully and knowingly or recklessly” possessed and intended to sell obscene DVDs.

• Priscilla’s, 1848 East Santa Fe St. in Olathe, possessed and intended to sell various obscene devices and an obscene DVD.

The indictments are based on findings from Aug. 22 to Sept. 17.

Employees at each business declined to comment on the indictments Tuesday night.

Which apparently makes the Kansas City Star so giddy that they just had to send me an email alert with all the latest:

House, that is. Posts will be sporadic to nonexistent (what’s new, right?) for a few weeks while the furbabies and their harried parents get settled in.

And when I finally return from hiatus…I’ll come and move the blog, too. Happy happy joy joy.

This dog run is named in honor of PAPD K-9 Sirius #17. He was a four year old yellow Labrador Retriever who served as an explosives detector canine for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey Police Department. Sirius, along with his partner, Police Officer David Lim, were assigned to the World Trade Center in New York, where their primary duty was to check vehicles entering the Complex, clear unattended bags and sweep areas for VIP safety. Sirius, who began work at the World Trade Center on July 4, 2000, was the only police dog to perish during the Sept. 11 attack on the Twin Towers – he died when Tower Two collapsed. His body was recovered on January 22, 2002. Sirius was posthumously awarded the Victoria Cross at the British Embassy in Manhattan.

A memorial statue of Sirius stands in the One Chase Manhattan Plaza lobby.
