Punching Kitty was a writing project for the city of St. Louis to have a little fun and try to get everyone to stop taking themselves so seriously…and hopefully highlight some critical issues along the way. Not everyone liked it (it turns out people don’t love being made fun of) but we converted a lot of people and I take pride that the site was truly well read. From the local media, to area police departments, Punching Kitty truly became a source for news and entertainment for St. Louis.
We had a lot of fun, but all good things need an ending and ours was on March 13th, 2013. When we closed up shop the news made local radio, TV, and even the front page of STLToday (The St. Louis Post Dispatch’s website) where we were the top story over a new pope being named. Wild stuff.
While we will no longer actively write, the site will stay up as an archive for St. Louis.

For years we were #1 in the country. The champs! But our dynasty is finally over. Richmond, VA is now the Sexually Transmitted Disease capital of the United States. St. Louis has fallen to #2.
St. Louis has finally relinquished its title as the sexually transmitted disease capital, dropping to number two in the country for rates of gonorrhea and chlamydia. For several years the city’s disease rates topped the country.

Here, in this photo from STLToday.com, we see Rams lineman Richie Incognito visiting blood donors today in Richmond Heights.
After this happy moment you see here, Richie told everyone there that just because they were giving blood they knew how to cheer for the Rams. Then he punched this lovely lady in the face and took off early. When asked for a comment, Coach Spagnolo said “he was just really ‘fired up’ for the blood drive and you have to do appearances with passion.”
[Read More]Which street that you regularly cross do you find most difficult?

Ah semantics. A boss tells an employee or two to not come in to work the next day. What would you call that? Some would say “suspension” others say…well…”not a suspension”
The later is what 105.7 The Point’s Woody told STLMedia’s Mike Anderson happened on Friday, not a suspension like what we reported.
Now I know this is gonna really bum you out……but we’re not suspended. We’re back on the air Monday. Anyone who’s been listening to the show knows that we’ve been organizing a counter protest, to the protest of Northwest High School by the Westboro Baptist Church (a.k.a. the godhatesfags.com idiots). They were there to protest the diversity programs the school offers as well as to damn the school for hosting a memorial service for Sgt. Brian Wood’s…..a local soldier who died in the line of duty.

Apparently 1**05.7 The Point’**s new-ish morning show “Woody and Rizzuto” have been suspended for the rest of the week because they made jokes about the frontman of the band 360Smile’s suicide. Well not really, they were really suspended because of the movement to boycott the show. Here’s some info from their Facebook Group page:
After the death of 360Smile front man Josh Herr, his friends family and fans flooded the phone lines with requests for 360Smile songs….Woody & Rizzuto the morning show douchebags went on live air, calling josh a coward among other things, and refused to play the songs THEIR FANS requested.

Word on the street is that now the Post Dispatch is firing people that don’t even work there! How is this even profitable?! We hear from the man himself that former PD gossip columnist Jerry Berger was recently banned from visiting his old friends at “Disgruntled Town”, aka the Post Dispatch Office.
From Berger’s new and extremely hard to read site, Bergersbeat.com —

Its Friday and that means we are going to interview someone random. Who’s up next? Terry Blastenbrei of course! Let me tell you a little something about this dude. He has a blog, he’s on Twitter, he’s a musician, and he wants you to hire him. I think he’s thinking along the lines of administrative and clerical work, but I heard he’ll do other stuff too like massages and for enough money, he’ll kill someone for you. …that’s just what I heard.
It’s ok, I couldn’t remember what a Blockbuster was either. Thank god for wikipedia right?
Anyway, if you are either a 15 year old girl or a guy with a big, window-less van and a creepy mustache, you should totally head over to the Blockbuster Video in Creve Coeur at 11600 Olive Blvd tomorrow at 6p because there’s going to be a New Moon party and we hear its going to be one of the biggest crowds in recent years at a Blockbuster. We’re talking 10 maybe 12 people. Crrraaaazzzzyyy!

So a long time ago this guy quits High School to get a job and then ends up in the military, bravely serving his country in World War II. After that he gets married twice, has no kids, is described as “colorful” and spends his time watching TV all day. All this 70 year old guy really needs is an occasional dusting, but instead he’s being given an honorary High School diploma. Well that will come in handy…
Yesterday we put up our post about the Investment Rating of all 31 Major League Baseball teams after factoring in their final salaries. It was a post we worked on late into the night for and we were pretty proud of it considering just a few posts before it we were making puns about Pam from the Office’s vagina.
Later on yesterday you may have seen the site be…a little slow. Ok, the site was freaking dead. But it was the best kind of dead since our baseball post was linked to from one of our favorite blogs Daring Fireball. So awesome. Of course the problem lies in that its not just our favorite blog, its a lot of people’s favorite blog so our site got what for some time has been known as being “fireballed.”
