It's only DgCo outside the city of Lawrence that's in KS2. We in the city are gerrymandered into the Big First, Baby! Liberals and Liberal in the same district!

I've been saying: KCMO comes to Kansas. St. Louis goes to Illinois. And Iowa and Arkansas split the remainders. BLAMMO! Buncha new Hawkeye fans.

A 65° morning is a pleasant change of pace from the garbage weather of late. Good temps to go oppose Bushwhackery in all its myriad, insidious forms.

Masterson opens and comes out swinging, calling Holscher the most radical candidate, and practically has to scream into the mic to overcome the booing and shouting from the crowd. Holscher opens by saying, "First of all, we didn't shake hands ..." #ksleg

One thing I need to make clear is that Kansas, both the state and the university, has been invoking John Brown and abolitionism for years, maybe decades. He’s painted on the interior of our state capitol. The hype videos are merely repurposing a heritage that already exists.

100% agree. We've watched it at least 3 or 4 times here in the mayoral palace. Dead mayors love Muppets. And variety shows. And now also Sabrina Carpenter.

Old Doc Marshall was a turd, E-I-E-I-O! And in Great Bend he had some lawyers, E-I-E-I-O! With a lawsuit here, an arrested young Mom there! Here a usurious interest rate, there a lack of basic human decency. E-I-E-I what an asshole.

Roger Marshall Sued 700 Patients for Debts; 81 Were Arrested. Now He’s a Senator.
Patients sued by Senator Roger Marshall of Kansas were routinely charged 18 percent interest, The Times found. Some had bank accounts garnished.

I think being elected mayor was pretty gosh darn reputable, Dan! I was also in the legislature (significantly less reputable) and did a stint as Douglas County treasurer. Those property taxes weren't gonna just collect themselves!
