Simons' Saturday Column: Menards again reveals city’s stunted retail thinking
Dolph Simons articles sometimes make me question his thinking. But today's article is correct in all respects. Lawrence is in need for retail growth and jobs. Unfortunately, the Lawrence City Commission is inept in understanding the needs for Lawrence and the problems our community is facing. Just think we just elected these bozo's and we have to deal with their limited knowledge for the next two years.
Lawrence needs to make a note on the commission's decision and when they come up for election ---- don't vote for any of them!!!

Lawrence man punched in face by stranger on Massachusetts Street
If this were "Person of Interest" before he would have tried to punch the guy. Someone in a suit would have come out of nowhere and stopped it. There would be cameras everywhere capturing all of these incidents and the mind police will arrest the criminal before he arrives at his house!!!

No concealed carry in Lawrence schools
Since the NRA is against gun control they should pay for the additional protection needed in the schools. Arming teachers is not a solution to the gun problem. Controlling large magazine weapons is a step in the right direction. The Presidents ideas on gun control won't solve all the problems but will help America in the long run.

KU grad finishes Boston Marathon just before explosions
Lawrence residents reading the comments should have expected statements like "Our hearts go out to the people hurt and died in Boston" Instead, we read about comments from sad people who can't see the seriousness of the situation and how difficult it is for the President and America. America already has enough to deal with on gun control. Now a bombing at a well known event.
We should be thankful that the Lawrence residents who ran in the marathon will return safe. We should also be thankful that the President is taking time out of his busy schedule to come to Lawrence, regardless of the state of America!!!

Obama coming to Lawrence to visit KU on Friday
It takes time and the willingness of the people. The economic situation has improved but there is still a long way to go. At least the President is willing to admit that! The Bush administration commented on the Iraq war at some press conferences instead of discussing the economy as a means to distract the American people of the impending economic disaster.

Obama coming to Lawrence to visit KU on Friday
I would like to meet him, shake his hand, and thank him for his service!!! Anyone who takes the Presidential office under the economic, environmental, political and health issues his administration took on, is commendable. Why he didn't quit and say let the Republicans fix it since they started this mess shows he is a tough guy willing to solve tough problems.

Obama coming to Lawrence to visit KU on Friday
All Kansan's should be proud that President Obama is visiting Lawrence. Unfortunately, he has had to visit areas due to devastation and death. Coming to Lawrence and seeing an up and coming community is great.

KU freshman Ben McLemore declares for NBA Draft
Ben gave us two great years, one where he worked hard out of the limelight and the second taking us to the Sweet 16. Pursuing the chance to live your dreams regardless if it's the NBA, Microsoft or Oracle, is the right decision.
Oletimer, I would be willing to guess that if you won Powerball tomorrow you would go into work till you retire?????

Gun bills easily approved
"Accidental" -- hum!!! What do you think the CC person going to say when someone like bigmarkus1802 also tries to use his weapon and gets killed?? I intended to shoot him!! More than likely he will have some lame excuse about his second amendment rights and his lack of extensive training on how he was not properly trained to assess the situation.
America and Kansas pay millions of dollars each month for law enforcement and they need to be the ones handling these situations, not the local over zealot who wants to shoot someone to justify the purchase of his gun.

Police cite driver suspected in downtown accident with cyclists
It seems the message from the cop was to not drink at all!! A solution would be to ride your bike immediately after leaving a bar where a friend waits with a pickup truck. You then ride your bike on to the back of the pickup truck and crawl into the front of the vehicle without touching the ground. No laws are broken and all are happy!!!
I forgot to add that your friend can't be intoxicated then both of you will be sharing a room at the Douglas County Hotel and Jailrista!!
