  • A glance at Kansas:

    Two brothers won $ 75,000 in a lottery, claimed their money, bought some marijuana and some crack cocaine and went home to celebrate. A butane leak ended up blowing up their house. One brother went to the hospital. The other one wet to jail.

    A 17 year old and a 20 year old were messing around with a hand gun. The gun went off and one man was shot in the foot. At first, the men told police it was the result of a drive-by shooting. They lied. Later they confessed.

    A State legislator claims he was robbed outside his hotel room, beaten up in the process. Video tape of the hotel corridor doesn’t support that legislator’s claim. He lied.

    Opinions from the Wichita Eagle:

    “I thought minimum wage was supposed to be reserved for high school kids while they live with their parents.”

    (JRM Comment: Good one!)

    “We are witnessing the out of control government our Founding Fathers warned us about.”

    (JRM Comment: Site your sources, Dumbo.)

    “We keep hearing about a divided Republican Party. But take a look at the Democratic Party, which does not exist anymore. It has been completely taken over by the socialists and just hasn’t changed its name.”

    (JRM Comment: Surely this is evidenced by the way Obama nationalized the banks, the auto industry, and usurped the courts and the legislature to make his own laws. Oh, wait! None of that has happened. Meanwhile, we have someone opining that the Dems are a socialist organization - which isn’t true - while ignoring that the Republican Party seems to be, in fact, a divided party.)

    Apparently someone leaked a plan from the White House to proffer a solution to the immigration situation. Indeed, the White House may have staged the “leak” so that it would generate discussion about the matter. Regardless, laws are still made by congress. The increasing feeble-mined John McCain has now attacked the White House. Good one, John. Divert attention from the inadequacy of congress - especially Republicans - to tackle the matter of immigration. We have waited through all the Bush 43 years and the first fur years of the Obama administration for your party, John, to craft meaningful legislation. Turning your disgust toward the White House does not alter the facts. Congress makes the law. Congress has failed to craft immigration law. John, get off your high horse and get to work.

    To Marco Rubio, I have this to say: I hope a cereal company comes out with a new product, Trickle Downs, and you become their chief spokesperson.
