Putting aside for a moment the bill's basic hatefulness, I wonder how these legislators--most of whom probably claim they're pro-business--think this is going to attract new industry or innovation to the state.

Kansas isn't the most conservative state, but probably one of the states most loyal to the Republican party, people in KS automatically vote Republican and Democrats don't even run a candidate in many elections

Swagger was really pretty good in the beginning. Anyone know what happened? The last time I went, the food was not good but I figured that was an outlier. Guess it was a trend instead. That's too bad. They could have accomplished a television first: First restaurant appearing on DDD to get bailed o...

They would never build it if they didn't have a team of engineers with lawyer backing. Expect one death per decade at the extreme end. Injury I'll give.
