Brownback signs into law bill establishing adult stem cell research and treatment at KU Medical Center
Leave it to Mr. Rothschild to find something wrong with any idea from the right. Shabby treatment for an honorable idea!

Kansas Supreme Court orders disbarment of Lawrence attorney for 'squandering' $2.6 million
Must have been a Democrat when in the House since no party affiliation is mentioned.

Recall effort?
I agree they are dumb. Look who they elected in 2008!

Chairman Gary Sherrer announces sudden and immediate resignation from Kansas Board of Regents
It's interesting to see all the potshots at Gov. Brownback, and every single one from an anonymous contributor with no ideas of their own to improve the situation they consider so dire.

Health attack
As insane as you think this decision is, I think it is just as insane to let PP continue to deny Kansas children the right to live. I salute Governor Brownback for this long-overdue decision.

Spending choices
I finally get it. It's okay when liberals use their power to shove an agenda down our throats (billions of dollars to pay healthcare and pension benefits to unions, more spending than from George Washington to present day combined, a so-called "healthcare system" that over 60% of Americans object to, then waivers on that "healthcare system" for entire states and organizations in bed with the current administration. BHO was right. He won, and elections have consequences. In this case, systematic destruction of the free enterprise system that built America. All these things are fine if orchestrated by liberals. I should have realized this earlier. Thanks for enlightening me.

Just for curiosity's sake, why do you not include the top 1% in your definition of "working class"? Most of the top 1% I'm acquainted with work far more hours than others.

Spending choices
It makes no difference. If my hard work, ingenuity and entrepeneurial spirit have placed me in the top 1%, I deserve to be there.
For the record, however, I am not in the top 1% but hope to be eventually.

Spending choices
According to the Internal Revenue Service, only 3-1/2 out of every 100 dollars in income taxes paid in the U.S. is paid by someone in the bottom 50% of wage earners.
I refuse to accept the premise that the "rich" (the top 50% of wage earners that earned a whopping $29,019 and up) are not paying their fair share. They are tired of financing the rest at a 32:1 ratio, and are finally starting to voice their objections at the ballot box. They are also moving out of high-tax states in droves, taking their businesses and jobs with them. Long overdue, in my opinion.
