Kansas Does Have Trouble

Kansas News

The police in Basehor, Kansas seem to be a bit behind the times.

Fingerprints show up on a piece of paper thanks to a little dusting powder and other tricks Basehor police learned this week.

The local paper has the details.

Department of Duh!

Headline: Library officials: Fire underscores need for building

A Kansas legislator speaks, devolution in action.

Sen. Kay O'Connor, R-Olathe, said she was disappointed by the report.

"There's no way I'm going to support that report," she said. "I fully expected to have a lot of information to use. I was anxious when they figured out the cost of education they would find out how the private-sector schooling handles things."

O'Connor, who represents De Soto, said while she didn't have any specific examples of public-sector funding being out of line, she wanted the study to look into public school expenditures not related to education.

"They did not address the issue that swimming pools and sports stadiums and Arizona dirt are not mandated by either the constitution or the statutes," she said, referring to a new stadium in Olathe. "We do have a statutory requirement of physical education, so they might say that was required, but apparently this was not even addressed."

O'Connor said she wouldn't support any new tax increases for education.

"We are spending like crazy, and we're building a deficit," she said. "We have got to learn to live within our means, and if that means we can't bring in dirt from Arizona, so be it."

She criticized the Olathe district for giving money for temporary living for children and other expenses.

"How many times have we heard public schools are giving money to their local chambers of commerce?" she asked. "It may not be against the law, but it's not statutorily required. This kind of expense was totally ignored."

Now remember, a report deals in facts. But she won't even support facts. What an idiot. No, worse, what a moron. & don't house any children, let them eat Arizona dirt.

Brainless from the heartland criticizes the local paper:

This is the heartland, your left-wing agenda does not fly here where folks actually think for themselves and love this God-given country. I'm sure Castro, Howard Dean, Osama and that senator from Massachusetts would like to pin a medal on your collective chest for your anti-American, anti-Christian and anti-common sense outlook on the world. Many are more than tired and nauseous of the journalistic sludge you all-knowing people pump out every day.
