Paul Davis' latest from the $480 Million Tea Pot Dome:<span style="font-size: large;"><br /><br />Sometimes you have to consider the loyal opposition, even when feeling disloyal:<br /><br />Rep. Davis writes below: </span><div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />UPDATE: Today the Kansas House passed House Bill 2022 by a vote of 91-29, which enables employers to automatically deduct employee wages for services owed (loans, equipment, etc). This might have more merit if it didn't come at the heels of House Bill 2023, which denies payroll deduction to teachers and public employees for union dues. With these two bills, the far right says it's ok for employers to have access to payroll deduction, but it's not ok for employees to have it. The next anti-worker bill in the queue is House Bill 2085, which bans collective bargaining for teachers. I'll keep you posted on this. </span><div>

<span style="font-size: large;">My Comment posted as a reply to “Practical” who asked for solutions after reading Phillip Brownlee’s Ed/Op from the Wichita Eagle editorial board. The article, “<a href="http://www.kansas.com/2013/01/10/2630035/eagle-editorial-policies-tough.html" target="_blank">Policies tough on poor</a>” appeared in 09 Jan. 2013. <br /><br />Stop kicking kids out of schools and into jails.<br /><br />Provide free contraception to the poor, including early abortions and basic health care at every county health department.<br /><br />Provide tuition free, examination based university educations for people who can't afford it.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />Promote employers to pay living wages and encourage collective bargaining in the workplace.<br /><br />Stop private equity hedge fund "managers" from taking over businesses as most recently happened to Hostess with more than 800 jobs lost in Kansas, last month.<br /><br />Enact laws to make transparent public banking institutions, as done in North Dakota for decades, to encourage Kansans to bank with the state of Kansas.<br /><br />Demand from all members of our Kansas congressional delegates at the federal level to cut "defense" spending by at least 50%, shut down the 800-plus U. S. military bases abroad and stop private arms dealing outside the borders of the U. S.<br /><br />Stop the gangster racket of campaign donors with limited time campaign periods and guarantee news media rich debates moderated by the League of Women Voters, instead of state fair circus stunts at Hutchinson during the livestock awards.<br /><br />Break the energy monopolies with tax credits, home and farm loans for solar and wind generated power into the grid, force the utility companies to pay an equitable return. They pay power producers a pittance now.<br /><br />Encourage Victory Gardens and local grown produce of all types to be traded across the state, especially in the urban cores.<br /><br />Start a homestead, farmstead program for the unemployed and homeless, seizing land being wasted and redistributing it downward.<br /><br />All these are solutions that work, and are working in many former Banana Republics, which is what Brownbackistan a/k/a Kansas has become.<br /><br />Did I hear someone ask about "gun violence"?

<span style="font-size: large;">“Poverty is the parent of Revolution and Crime.” - Aristotle</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />One of four Wichita museums are to suffer a $100,000 cutback in funding which may force closure. It is called “Cowtown” a tribute to the glory days of white settler expansion and cattle. A distant cry is heard from the editorial board of the city’s single daily newspaper, the Wichita Eagle, with the recent piece by Peter Brownlee, “Why pick on Cowtown?” <br /><br />The money cut from the museum is less than that used this election cycle as seed money by the Koch billionaires to the state Chamber of Commerce in legally buying the state government. <br /><br />Those little $500 to $1000 checks to Kansas lawmakers’ campaigns, tossed to PACs and lobbyists, sown each year as brome seed across the tiny Topeka state house, make a better “deal.”. <br /><br />A common thought among many Kansans, after 50 years, if the museum cannot “make a profit” - the motivation for human culture and history according to many today - then the Cowtown museum must close, history be damned.<br /><br />A substantial number of elites in Wichita would prefer all to forget the old “wild west” days, better to keep fluoride out of the water, and as many legally armed as possible against each other. Better to keep Wichita’s teeming humanity befuddled, as a herd.. Easier to ride as Roustabout, pointing the state politicians’ noses toward the limitless horizon of individual wealth each election year. <br /><br />No, the Cowtown museum must go, lest the Wichita majority of “minorities” learn of the early days of democratic “mob justice” and the elites’ ancestral days when whore houses, cattle herds, railroad spurs, whiskey rivers and gunplay was normal.<br /><br />The public relation firms have determined contemporary Wichita fares better in the “profit at all cost” as a white middle class Jesus armed with an assault rifle proclaiming control over the “free markets.” Kansans of the herd mentality are best dull witted and ignorant of ethereal matters like off shore tax havens, armies of tax shelter lawyers, tax deductible political “charities” and secretive annual government oil subsidy checks. <br /><br />Whatever political Roustabout leads Kansans matter not to the 1% so long as their Judas goat leads reliably from prairie to the fattening feedlot, ever onward to the environmental slaughter house.<br /><br />I'd say the "profit at all cost" crowd is dispensing a particular cultural message, favoring the sound of the bullwhip crack over the taxpayers to spoiling them with universal health care, food stamps or art filled niceties like the Cowtown museum.<br /><br />It is fashionable today among the Big Thinkers in Wichita and Topeka, Kansas to not spoil the herd, but drive them quickly to “market.”<br /><br />The deficit at the Cowtown museum pales in comparison to the figure of tens of millions donated by David Koch to build a wing at the distant New York Metropolitan Museum of Art. I surmise the family has tens of thousands of acres sublet from the Flint Hills south to Texas in case the herds of Kansas humanity stampede. </span></div>Michael Caddellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15325607602802654300noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36525543.post-89045712111634315622012-08-04T08:51:00.001-07:002012-08-04T09:16:25.852-07:00Correction: Number of U. S. population served in armed services during WWII<span style="font-size: large;">The number cited of U. S. citizens serving in World War Two during the August 2, 2012 LeRoy Show was incorrect. </span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">The attributed number who served is 16,596,639 based on U. S. government data. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Estimates for number of people killed during the war vary from 64 - 85 million deaths worldwide. The majority were civilians and the total number of people killed based on a country by country tabulation equals 2.5 % of the 1939 world population. </span></div>

Street Journal descended on Kansas in the last few weeks to cover a
political contest they view to be of national significance, that is, a
battle for the heart and soul of the Republican Party in the reddest of
red states.<br /><br />Never in state history has a sitting Kansas governor
led a public campaign to oust legislators of his own party. In doing so,
Gov. Sam Brownback is making the Republican primary on Aug. 7 a
referendum on his governorship.<br /><br />Brownback is asking Republican
primary voters in a number of legislative races across the state to side
with a slate of candidates composed by him and his allies against
incumbent legislators. These targeted legislators view themselves as
“traditional” Republicans in the lineage of Kansas icons such as Alf
Landon, Dwight Eisenhower and Bob Dole, and former Republican governors;
and they believe government has a more affirmative role in assuring a
high quality of life for Kansans.<br /><br />An understanding of what is at
stake in the election requires a look at those who have energized
Brownback’s rise to power and what they have in store for Kansas.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The LeRoy Show is hosted by the Linebaugh sisters, Kay and Sondra, who introduce listeners to small town life in SE Kansas along the Neosho River. </span><br />
<br />
