Knology changes its name to WOW!; lifts usage caps on Internet service
The so-called "optimized for video" and "unlimited" service allocates a limited amount of capacity collectively to all users on this plan. The result is that the capacity is often insufficient to stream purchased video. Funny how the company never tells you about that when it hypes the service.
And if they change the "sunflower" part of my email address they will have negated my last reason to continue as a customer. Just saying.

As city prepares to bid recreation center, officials still waiting to receive cost numbers from Fritzel on infrastructure
This is the opposite of "spread the wealth." It's taking tax revenues from everyone and giving those revenues to a single beneficiary; that's called "concentrate the wealth," and it seems to be government's primary function.

Right. What the city should do is to give Thomas Fritzel whatever he says he wants. It's only the taxpayers' money, and why should the city be concerned about that?

Republican freshman lawmakers in Kansas House undergo re-election briefing
"And he said state legislative candidates should use telephone town hall meetings, which are frequently used by congressional candidates. 'It essentially works like talk radio. You're the Rush Limbaugh,' he said."
Say… No… More!

Opinion: Newspapers might get better with Kochs
Great idea. Sacrifice accuracy for whatever "truth" further pads the Kochs' bottom line. Promote ignorance, and abandon even the semblance of distinction between journalism and propaganda.
Looks like we're headed toward a world in which, if you're rich enough, you ARE entitled to your own facts.

Opinion: Obama initiatives are dead in the water
"Bureaucrats were instructed to inflict maximum pain from minimal cuts, as revealed by one memo from the Agriculture Department demanding agency cuts that the public would feel."
This is a lie by Krauthammer, pure and simple. The cited memo does nothing more than assure that the previously planned cuts to a particular USDA aquaculture program would be exactly as the department told Congress they would be. There's nothing about inflicting pain, maximum or – that's just Krauthammer's twisted, partisan interpretation of a memo that's actually about assuring the agency lives up to its word to Congress. See for yourself at: <http://griffin.house.gov/sites/griffi...>
And, incidentally, if Krauthammer thinks cutting a $263,000 federal subsidy to aquaculture is "inflicting maximum pain from minimal cuts," he's taken leave of whatever senses he had left after five years of spewing vituperation in the destructive service of his right wing friends.

Rules tighten on TANF recipients
Well, so much for "Love thy neighbor." The extremists and hate-spewers who think this is a good idea are proving the lack of any connection between their views and Christian principles.
This evil, spiteful clique has apparently misunderstood Matthew 19:14 "But Jesus said, Suffer little children."

OK, so who's keeping you here at gunpoint? Topeka is just down the road. Don't let the door hit you, etc.
I love the way all these commenters whine and complain but stay here anyway.

Kansas Bioscience Authority leader says culture and philosophy of agency are changing
See? If you abandon principles and believe what you're ordered to believe, everything goes much more smoothly.
That's Kansas government in a nutshell – and I use the word advisedly.
