Konservative Kansas Kasinos, Oh My!

 In Kansas, Carrie Nation battled booze by smashing up saloons, the state school board once approved science guidelines questioning evolution and anti-abortion leaders have made their stiffest stands — all burnishing the state's conservative credentials.

Now, Kansas is poised for an unlikely distinction: It's about to get into the casino business, not merely by blessing gambling and taxing the profits but by becoming the legal owner of the casinos themselves.

"Today and tomorrow, the state of California is having a big garage sale up in Sacramento. Which is probably not a good sign for the economy, when the largest state in the union is holding a garage sale to pay its debts. Our governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger, actually signed a lot of the items for sale, I guess to raise their value. You know, a garage sale is fine, but we owe $30 billion. If we really want to make money, forget the garage sale, take some of that confiscated pot and have a bake sale." --Jimmy Kimmel

Subject: Locusts

Lisa,

A bunch of us progressives got together to prevent the Dark Lord Cheney from sending that plague of locusts your way.
That would have been the last thing you needed after all of your recent problems.

Welcome back---again!

-Ron

Deep curtsy for the Knights in Shining Armor, Sir Ron.

Cheney didn't send that plague of locust nor did he shoot me in the face.

All that obedience training's gone out the window: I caught the Shih Tzus smoking.
