I'm bored and wanted to post, but I just put up that brilliant post on baseball curses and the evil that is Bill Buckner, so I thought I would come over here. It seems as though our dear Miss Knit has been a busy little bee lately, so surely she won't mind if I put a little sumthin' sumthin' up on her special area. By which I mean blog. Come on people, try and keep those thoughts pure for, like, 5 minutes.
Entendre aside, in 2004 Kansas voted for George Bush by a 2 to 1 margin. It's not a surprise really, Kansas has been a Republican state for a long long time. I didn't vote, because voting is stupid. (just kidding, calm down) But recently a strange trend has started to occur, despite what everyone sees on the news, our idiot Board of Education banning the theory of evolution, Fred Phelps picketing the funerals of dead soldiers blaming homosexuals for their deaths and what not, Kansas is becoming more and more moderate as time goes by. We elected Kathleen Sebelius, a democrat, governor in 2003 and more recently we had 9 state representatives change their party affiliation from republican to democrat.
Mark Parkinson was the former chairman of the Kansas Repuclican Party and he switched his party affiliation to run for lieutenant governor alongside Sebelius and was recently quoted in the Wichita Eagle as saying "I reached a breaking point, I want to work on relevant issues and not on a lot of things that don't matter." Parkinson favors stem cell research, evolution in the schools and a woman's right to choose.
Unfortunately we're not quite over the hump yet. Not with people like Phill Kline on the loose. Kline is a staunch supporter of Creationism in schools, he has fought to publicize the names of women who have had abortions, regardless of the circumstances and most recently was found to be soliciting churches in the Wichita area to support him and raise money via their clergy, which is a direct violation of Section 501(c)(3) of the US Tax Code. These churches stand to lose their Tax Exempt status by violating the IRS Regulation the prohibits churches from supporting any political candidate. Incidentally, Kline is our incumbent Attorney General. I know, right?
Kline is neck and neck with Paul Morrison, one of our new democrats, who swiched sides in attempt to oust the terrifying Kline.
The political landscape in Kansas is not quite as bad as the national news portrays us, but it's still unfavorable if you are gay, a woman, a minority or any combination of those. However, with Gov. Sebelius, Howard Dean and a slew of new democrat's help we're slowly getting better.

Gotta end it classy.

I wish this had been about baseball curses.
I heart Nick
I heart Nick and LMK, in no particular order.
The recreational lesbians are a fickle lot. They tend to be much more conservative when sober.
zombie lou should eat do us all a favor and eat those jerks' brains.
If all women were lesbians, you wouldn't need abortions. You'd think they'd be pro-lesbian.
Can't argue with that logic.
Did you ever read "What's the Matter with Kansas" by Thomas Frank? I read it last year and it was fabulous. Fabulous I tell you!
Kline sounds scary. He might make a good Halloween costume.
Did the book include "not enough recreational lesbianism"?
Seriously though, I haven't read it, I wonder if they even sell it here or if our awesome politicians have banned it.
It wouldn't surprise me.
"not enough recreational lesbianism"
That was the title of Chapter 2.
recreational lesbianism is our national sport, isn't it LMK?
