Letter: Postal plan
Let's be honest. The Postal Service, as it is currently set-up, is a dinosaur -- and nothing can make it sustainable without major changes -- primarily down-sizing. If it had to pay for itself -- without wracking up (more) massive debt (including a typically over-generous retirement plan) -- we'd have to pay $1 + to mail a post card. It will be a struggle, but we'll survive not getting mail on Saturday, or maintaining a post office in the middle on nowhere. This is just a start.

Sides clash in hearing on bill that would repeal in-state tuition for undocumented students
Let's be honest, OK? These "immigrants" are not illegal -- they are future democrat voters.

Come here legally from Nebraska, pay the out-of-state tuition rate. Here as a result of illegal activity, pay the in-state rate. Only thing under this topic I find even more ludicrous is a couple states that give a drivers' license to illegal aliens. Bizzarro world, indeed!

Local girls become beauty queens for a day
Seems sad. Are little girls unwittingly being indoctrinated with the idea that they are not beautiful enough -- that even at this age, they need to be "painted?" And this being done to them by women. Of course, the girls like it -- center of attention, getting to do a "big girl" thing, etc. But is it really a good thing?

Letter: Too costly
Mary Ann -- for crying out loud! Don't you remember voting for this 19 years ago? A commissioner even said so, and if you can't trust one of them, who can you trust? Geez -- some people have short memories.

Federal budget cut coming Friday could cost KU millions in research funding
KU, like most entities (and "takers"), has become too dependent on governments, and thus susceptible to to a "hurt" when the inevitable slowing of growth has to occur. It happens to all addicts, eventually.

Yawnnnnnnnnnnnnn. Apparently, the "sequester" has kicked-in. Seems as devastating as the Mayan calendar calamity we survived.

Opinion: U.S. must shore up faith in democracy
Cutting spending by a whopping 2% (the sequestration) is hardly "massive austerity." And most of that would be cuts to planned increases!

Letter: Energy policy
Wasn't able to read this without subscribing. Would like to, tho, to see how believable the law firm's analysis is.

Opinion: U.S. must shore up faith in democracy
Sure would like the Dems/Obama to explain how going further into debt (i.e. no substantive cuts in spending or even spending growth) will improve things. No matter how much and on who they would raise taxes, it would not be enough. We, as a society, have had our party -- time for the hangover.
