  • I submitted these three opinions to the local paper. Maybe they will publish one of them.

    1. As we all know, Gremlins are melting polar ice. Maybe we should build a water pipeline to Wichita. It could go from Santa’s workshop, meet up with the Keystone XL oil pipeline in Hardesty, then run parallel to that line until it gets near Wichita.

    2. We wouldn’t have a water problem if Rick Perry and Sam Brownback would just hold a prayer vigil. I don’t know why I always have to have the greats ideas.

    3. A Wichita Eagle headline states: “Gay marriage case offers court many options.” Shouldn’t the only option be equality?

    Today’s opinions include:

    “Mister, we could use a man like Archie Bunker again.”

    “The situation is popeless.”

    “I hope the next pope chooses the name Bob. I would trust a Pope Bob.”

    The headlines for toady’s Wichita Eagle, include the mention of the Kansas legislative decisions.

    First, Senators have agreed to require drug tests of welfare and unemployment recipients suspects of using illegal substances, sending those who fail to treatment and job training. Democrats forced a successful vote to include lawmakers in such tests. The bill now goes before the Kansas House.

    Second, A House committee has endorsed a plan to shield Kansas guns and ammunition from federal gun-control measures. Federal officers who tried to intervene could be arrested. A proposal to let licensed Kansans carry concealed guns into more public buildings is also still alive.

    Thirdly, The Senate has adopted a proposal to let voters decide on a constitutional amendment preventing (Kansas) courts from ordering lawmakers to spend more money on schools; it still must go to the House. Gov. Sam Brownback’s plan to hold back third-graders who can’t pass reading tests failed in committee.

    We have already decided that we must teach alternative theories about Global Warming. I agree with Cartoonist Richard Crowson on this issue.

     

     

    I also wonder if the cartoon below refers to the United State or to Kansas. Both Capitol Buildings seem to be rather non-essential at this point in time.
