Scott Roeder Complains Like A Big Baby
Convicted would-be mad bomber and accused murderer Scott Roeder bitches that he's being treated like a criminal.
Boo. Hoo.
I guess he forgot about that conviction for "criminal use of explosives" in 1996. Then there's that whole accusation that he killed Dr. George Tiller in front of a whole church full of witnesses, er, parishioners, last Sunday in Wichita.
Scott, instead of calling the AP when you feel down, maybe give Leslee Unruh a call and she can cheer you up with one of her "more babies more babies" talks.

Len Dawson, QB and Broadcasting Legend
http://media.lawrence.com/img/blogs/e... Line Communications (http://bottomlinecom.com/currentnews/mooredawsonmilestone.html) has a nice story today about Len Dawson and Larry Moore being together at KMBC-TV in Kansas City since 1968.Len Dawson is one of my childhood idols. He was cool under pressure at the helm of the Chiefs. The guy could play.But what is also remarkable about Len is that is he probably as good or better of a broadcaster as he was an NFL Hall of Fame QB. He is unflappable on TV with great presence. As a radio broadcaster doing Chiefs games, he is knowledgeable, direct, and honest.Congratulations Len Dawson! You're still my idol!Todd EppKansas Watch http://kswatch.squarespace.com
How About a Kansas Blogger Meet Up August 29th in Topeka?
I am planning to be in Topeka on August 29th (the Friday before Labor Day) for a meeting. If any of my fellow Kansas bloggers would like to meet up (or really dedicated readers or fellow political junkies), let me know at epplaw(at)gmail(dot)com and let's see if we can set up something.Perhaps we could meet for coffee or at Washburn or at some cool new Topeka hangout and talk blogging and politics (or Chiefs, KU, or KSU football, for that matter). Let me know! I look forward to meeting you.
