Opinion: Why gay role models matter
Also that we didn't construct societies almost completely for the reason of escaping natural selection in the first place.

Editorial: Guns, speech
"Why would state legislators want to limit the range of viewpoints and information they receive on any measure they are considering?"
The same reason anyone wants to limit the range of viewpoints and information they receive. Because they want to maintain their personal opinion as Truth and they can only do that by insulating themselves.

FreedomWorks urges Legislature to reject Common Core reading and math standards
I agree. Too many people have informed me of this thing called subtraction, but that's absolutely bogus so I don't pay attention to it. You can tell its bogus because lots of people believe it.

Bill Self basks in glow
That's interesting. Last time I checked the OU football team was doing very poorly in the NCAA tournament. Exactly 0 wins. Clearly a systemic problem.

And? We've got kind of a lot of banners up there as it is.

I see the mythos of the Jayhawk choke still has its adherents.
Bucknell and Northern Iowa are the only ones that I think are reasonable to be considered as under-achievements during the Bill Self era, and its the Bucknell loss alone that has created this mythos.
But we still have the most tournament wins of any team, I believe, during the years Self has been coaching Kansas.

Opinion: Benghazi, IRS: Son of Watergate?
Harding would be my first choice. He had almost modern-age levels of scandal in a time before TV, much less 24 hour news stations. For only a two-year term.
But I'll accept other recommendations.

Opinion: Benghazi, IRS: Son of Watergate?
Anyone who thinks that either this or the last administration is the most corrupt just demonstrates that they haven't studied anything more than a decade or so old.

Were you surprised Andrew Wiggins chose KU?
I agree with the basic gist of your post, but next year isn't one of the years where a long-term, hardworking player is going to get shorted by a one and done, because we don't really Have any long term players that would be expected to start in absence of the new recruits. (Tharpe, Ellis, Traylor as obvious exceptions, but I suspect that both Tharpe and Ellis will start. Traylor needs more work).
And of course there's almost 6 months before the ball is even tipped (:( but from what I've been reading about our class I suspect that there will only be Wiggins as a one and done and Embid and Seldon will stay at least two years. Next year's draft class is supposed to be quite a bit more stocked than this years was.
To the question: yes, I was quite surprised.

Top prospect Andrew Wiggins chooses Kansas
You mean the one that broke the freshman scoring record that was 25 years old?
