Woman killed after falling out of party bus

I can only guess that the victim was hit by 3 cars because it happened so fast, before anyone could stop. I don't think the other drivers hit the girl and just kept going.

Lawrence attorney disbarred, accused of $200,000 ethics violation

Our Secretary of State, Kris Kobach doesn't seem to have any trouble running a private legal practice while he's employed by the State...

I guess the Secretary of Sate job just isn't as important and demanding as being a trust officer for a local bank branch.

Gov. Brownback signs Kansas drug test law for aid recipients

Yes, the "reasonable suspicion" bit is hilarious. They threw that in to make it look like politicians would be will to subject themselves to the same scrutiny that they are placing on people trying to receive benefits. In actuality they added the "reasonable suspicion", so that no politicians could actually be tested. It would only really be fair if all State politicians were going to get tested.

I have a feeling there would be a few that wouldn't pass. I'm guessing that a few of them have a favorite drug that rhymes with "Koch". But don't worry, they will never get tested.

Gov. Brownback says he'll attend President Obama's event in Lawrence if he's invited

He is everyone's President.

How can people be so negative about a sitting President visiting our town?

Obama coming to Lawrence to visit KU on Friday

Oh yea, Obama is bringing his FEMA troops with him that have Christianity detectors, so they know who to lock up.

Also he will be passing out cell phones to poor people and coupons for free abortions.

Remembering the Holocaust, to prevent it from repeating

He's not taking away your precious guns.

Remembering the Holocaust, to prevent it from repeating

I'm sure glad that people don't make completely irrational comparisons between basic gun control measures and Nazis.

Jews were specifically barred from gun ownership, because they were Jews. Jews were also restricted from having a driver's license, court or police protection, serving in the military, higher education, basic civil rights, mixed marriages, the right to vote, German citizenship, benefit payment, the ability to go to bars, restaurants and swimming pools, electrical/optical equipment, bicycles, typewriters or records, passports, cinema, theater, concerts, exhibitions, beaches and holiday resorts, all education, their own homes, radios, telephones, ration cards for clothes, the right to use a public phone, the right to keep a pet, leaving the country, the right to receive eggs or milk, and their own right to live.

Do not equate requiring universal background checks to the Nazis taking guns away from Jews. You make yourself sound like an buffoon with no sense of history.

Gun bills easily approved

Then why do we have any laws?

Just because you can't recall a story about some with a CC permit accidentally discharging their can, that doesn't mean it doesn't happen.

Here's a story from January, in Lenexa, where a CC permit holder accidentally shot is wife in a restaurant...
