The Kansas Kissing Bandit in his jail cell
What’s next? Executions for holding hands? When will they outlaw thinking about sex?
Between the creationist trials and this guy, how many times can one state do goofy things and still feel good about itself?
Smells Like Teen Snogging – Kansas’ wacky attorney general smells sex everywhere
Good places for curious adolescents to experiment with sex: backseat of dad’s Volvo, under musty tarp in garage, last row of movie theater. Bad places for curious adolescents to experiment with sex: Wednesday night PTA meeting, choir practice, Kansas.
That’s right. If you’re under 16 in Kansas and wondering about the costs and benefits of stealing second vs. idling at first, think again. Your attorney general has your number. Why he cares who’s fumbling around to the sultry musical stylings of Aaron Carter is a mystery. And it grows odder by the day.
At one level, one almost wishes Kline would prevail in this case, if only to have his offices inundated with tens of thousands of reports that Steve frenched Stacy on the band trip to Topeka. California did away with a policy similar to Kline’s after a year precisely because it proved so useless and wasteful. At another level, there are pressing constitutional issues at the core of what looks like a trivial lawsuit: What are the contours of the right to informational privacy and how does it apply to minors? Does singling out teenage abuse for such particularized scrutiny violate their right to equal protection? But at the most fundamental level, the question one really asks about the Kansas lawsuit is “why?” What is Phill Kline’s purpose in insisting that there is no such thing as consensual teenage sex?
This is a politician obsessed with the abortion issue that will wind up taking it way beyond reason to the point that it is comical.
Things like this make me shake my head and wonder.

Has there ever been a more appropriately titled book than “What’s the Matter With Kansas?”
This just in:
House GOP hands job to Boehner.
Geeze man…
ya’d think he was in Utah…
Hmmm,,, I wonder how he’d stack up against Bush’s violation of our rights? Who would get the best of the other?

The real truth about Kansas will come out if this clown is re-elected.
I live in kansas, and Kline is indeed an idiot that only cope chewin rednecks would want in office.
