Opinion: What, exactly, was the IRS thinking?
read this fast or you will miss it. It will be removed by the staff of this newsrag who are one of "thrm".
The IRS, Department of Justice, and congressional committees that are free of Republican Terrorst Facist members should investigate all "conservative" groups. These are shadow groups that are dedicated to what they could not achieve at the ballot box, bringing down the lawful government of the United States.
Don't believe me? Look right here in Kansas at the Republican governer who thinks he can legislate laws in violation of Federal Law
The IRS and any other government group that has the guts to check out these facist groups hiding behind the lable "conservative" should proceed immediately. These groups are a front dedicated to the downfall of the U.S. government and the lawfully elected President of the United States.
Our country is in grave danger from the so-called "conservatives"

Kansas House, Senate far apart on tax issue as legislative wrap-up starts
The whole KansasGovernment is broken. With all the legislative positions taken by those elected by all the rubes, hicks, and illiterate malcontents who live west of Topeka, we should expect very little from them. A person with Wagel's background should be in charge of the John Bitch Society, not the Kansas Legislature. And with a governer who thinks he can legislate voilation of Federal Law, we will see little of anything of value to the people of Kansas.
There is no law that restricts the vote to ignorant and bucolic people, but this situation gives you pause to think what we could have if the voters of Kansas had some sense and did not knuckle under to the Koch style politics.

Lawrence falls short in bid for national ArtPlace grant
Art, art, art......I am sick of art, art, art.
How about jobs, jobs, jobs??? How about inviting business to do business in Lawrence, not shoving them away?
How about having some competing stores that give us some options without having to go to Topeka or Oak Park Mall/?
How about some common sense and good planning and not this incessant drumbeat about art, ar, art????
But with the dysfunctional city government we have, it will never happen.

Opinion: Newspapers might get better with Kochs
The presence of these "conservative" brothers in American media needs some vvery careful attention.
Hitler did not take over Germany. The people gave it to him. They bought the Nazi (extreme right wing) drivel and the rest is hostory. (read "harsh right wing positions")
These political positions exist in America under the laughable lable "conservative"
They deserve very close scruitiny.

U.S. Attorney General Holder tells Brownback new gun law is unconstitutional
Just who, what, and how are anyone's constitutional rights being abridged??
Gimme an example, if you can read the constitution. Let's have it, chapter and verse.

U.S. Attorney General Holder tells Brownback new gun law is unconstitutional
This is what yu get when you elect officials who are intent on defying the black dude in the White House. It is no secret that the Kansas Legislature is doing everything it can to violate Federal law and the idiot governer is going along with it. We elected these people to represent us, not to pursue a vendetta against the Federal Government. What a waste of money! Brownback and Kobach have to go, they are totally not the sort of representatives we need in "Bleeding Kansas">

Lawrence ranked second-worst-performing small metro area, according to new national economic index
I thought this newsrag was in the business of presenting NEWS! This is NOT news.
This town has been an economic disaster in the 30+ years I have been here. You do not want to be unemployed in Lawrence. About the only businesses in town are a greeting card maker that shuffles employees and work around to the cheapest vvenue, a university who's job opportunities are unfanthomable, and a factory that makes whistles and tin horns hooked to a piano-like keyboard to sop up extra money that most churches do not have.
The city government has been broken for years. We need a city system that represents all the sections of town but we get this collection of agendaed wonks that like to build roundabouts and refuse to allow viable businesses locate here.
But nothing will change. Look at the voter turnout. Most people here do not give a damn.
End of story,.

Simons' Saturday Column: Menards again reveals city’s stunted retail thinking
I too rarely agree with Dolph, but he is right on with this one.
Lawrence has been hostile to new development for as long as I can remember. A never-ending parade of city commission dolts has assured that this wil continue. Hardly anyone bothers to vote in city elections and a very small group of highly agenda-prone persons manage to pack the city commission with idiots.

Brownback signs into law bill establishing adult stem cell research and treatment at KU Medical Center
What it does is illustrates the continuing opposition to abortion and the desire to do anything and everything to deny this legal and safe medical proceedure to women in Kansas.
Nothing else.
