Legislative committee advances 3.4 percent across-the-board budget cut
Balancing the budget on the backs of our kids is shameful. But I guess the Senators voting for this disaster figure that kids can't vote... yet.

Lawrence legislator angers many with his proposed energy bill
This is funny. Didn't these same groups tout "clean coal" when they wanted the western Kansas powerplant last session... or is clean coal just Holcomb-Hokum?

Fun is over; the hard part begins
Cal Thomas is a pontificating old fool. Everytime he opens his mouth a moth flies out. Why does this paper run his stale columns?

State Republicans now looking to cut $300 million from current budget
This isn't all a bad economy. It's bad tax policy.The GOP has coupled Kansas Tax rates to federal rates. When the Bush tax cuts went into effect it led to declining Kansas revenues. Business has received a windfall tax break of $87 million that they didn't even ask for.We pay taxes. Businesses get the tax break. Now were short and the average Joe takes it on the chin. Robin Hood in reverse.

GOP insists schools can take budget cuts
Simplistic is right. Mike O'Neal's 65% solution is idiotic. In a medical setting, with his logic, surgeons and patients don't need hospitals or surgical equipment for operations and ambulances are unnecessary.These school cuts won't heal... Remember who is responsible for this lunacy when you go to the polls.

Evolution evidence?
All science trembles before the searing logic of Sheldon's fiery intellect. Surely he must be a candidate for our Kansas State Board of Education.

Evolution can't be ignored in board of ed race
Interesting turn-a-round... Meissner solidly supported teaching intelligent design when he last ran in 2004. If you buy this transformation would you say his position has "evolved?"I don't buy it and will vote for Carolyn Campbell. Carolyn may help keep Kansas off Leno and Letterman and our kids out of the middle ages.
