Yes, it will be difficult, since it won't happen. Hard to listen to the sound of silence. (cue the music)

"zhǐ lù wéi mǎ" That's easy, autie. Once we get with the ancient Chinese wisdom and learn to call a deer a horse. If he says so, it must be true.

The bible in his hand has blank pages. Why? Deception is the mainstay of his philosophies.

I think Governor Brownback will have his hands full with watching for Emma Sullivan's tweets and facebook for snarky remarks about him. He just don't get no respect.

The Guv's most difficult task this year will be getting back the 2100+ jobs he lost in Wichita. That's a huge blow to the economy in that part of the state, and it's laid at his feet.

After showing his man-love for Perry, he will probably have a difficult time getting Santorum off his back.

His toughest task may well be fighting recall..... as it should be.

I found something good that Brownback is promoting.

We need to change some of our concepts about education, particularly with our high school students. Brownback is on the right track here.
I have to give credit where credit is due.
I also think that anything the State can do to make manufacturing more profitable is a step in the right direction. We need to restore and strengthen our manufacturing base to compete in the global economy or we are going to see a continuing decline in our qualify of life.
Simplistic and ideologically driven mandates are not the way to achieve a higher qualify of life for this country. I believe most Americans are tired of the extreme tone of today's politics.

heblosalot has to reform school finance before he can get the income tax eliminated. I wish the LJW reporters would at least put a little effort into their work.

Thanks for the chuckles. This thread is hilarious! Google thinks I spelled his name wrong, but Sam Brownback's most difficult task in 2012 might be to get citizens to take his nonsense seriously. Or, maybe he still needs to get right with his God.
