Obama coming to Lawrence to visit KU on Friday
Funny how the powers that be in Topeka (and the rest of the state) want no part of Lawrence politically unless it involves redistricting aka gerrymandering. But, throw in a photo op with the President and they'll be coming out of the woodwork to get over here. Maybe Brownback could bus over with the Fred Phelps clan. I'm not sure Sam has the guts to come to the "blue island in a sea of red." He'll probably make arrangements to be elsewhere. And well he should.

Opinion: KU's stunning loss comes down to karma
This one will hurt for a while. With all that being said, it's best to keep our opinions to ourselves. We all saw the game. The less said the better.

Letter: USPS response
The question is, can we really count on Postal management to make the right decisions for the future of the Postal Service? How did the billions of dollars invested in football field size machines designed to sort magazines and catalogs (flats) into route order work out for you? How about the aging vehicle fleet that should have been converted to electric vehicles years ago? How about the reduction in the workforce without a concurrent reduction in management? The Postal Service has become too politicized, playing "steal the bacon." Worse yet, they have always (I know that's a long time) been reactive, not proactive. Bean counters more worried about the numbers as opposed to getting the job done. And what's with the "Forever stamp?" Do any other businesses have a business model like that? How about "forever gas" or "forever loaf of bread"? Grateful there is NoMoUSPSBS for me.

Big 12: Officiating errors were made at end of regulation in KU-ISU game
It's Hilton Magic! Officiating errors were made throughout the game. If they're going to review calls at the end, they need to review them all. For example, the charging call on Withey when Niang was not set. He was sliding and twisting and turning. Time to enlarge the restricted area under the basket? Too many bang bang plays on layups where a defender comes flying in at the last second attempting to establish position. Very rarely are they ever completely set and in a legal guarding position.

Editorial: Postal service
Perhaps, if we're going to bust unions and privatize, which has been going on since Reagan, we should start with Congress. See how they feel about changing their pay and benefits. Seems to me that they are the ultimate union and, for the amount of work they actually do, they are grossly overpaid. Privatize them. Most everything they do is to further their own interests and careers. Great gig, if you can get it.

Editorial: Postal service
Seems like most of our problems are due to the actions or inaction of Congress-Wall Street, housing bubble, healthcare, etc. The Postal Service's issues are just the tip of the iceberg. They get elected and then spend their terms focused on how to get elected again instead of solving this country's problems. Gridlock, paralysis by analysis. Call it what you will. Why would they want to change the system and risk getting voted off the island? And they talk about "entitlements."

A kick in the teeth: Late FG lifts Owls past KU
That interception was a killer! They could've have survived everything else if they hadn't given up the ball at midfield. Instead of throwing the ball away, he just put it up for grabs and Rice was all set up for a game winning kick. Matt, in watching practice all these weeks, did it ever catch your eye that they don't have a kicker? On the plus side, after halftime adjustments they didn't turn a 17-10 lead into a 58-something loss.
