(Nichole, this one's for you)

Remember that piece of scum, Michael Vick, dog murderer? He lives in the Big House on the Prairie now (AKA Leavenworth Prison).

Leavenworth is just a few miles up the road from my town, so you could almost say we're neighbors. One thing about Kansans, they can be real neighborly. And they just loooove celebrities here, so what better way to make sure our new resident feels at home, than to have a big party in his honor?

I LOVE that they are raising awareness in such a public manner AND keeping thoughts fresh in the minds as to what a A-hole Vick is!
