The Topeka Capitol Journal has some great photos from Washington Days on their website this morning. None of them have captions, however. So since we didn’t do a Friday Funnies (indeed we haven’t in some time) I thought we might make a few captions of our own.

State Senator Laura Kelly, the unchallenged Democratic candidate for the 2nd District of the House of Representatives, currently held by Lynn [...]
FiveThirtyEight did a great study recently naming the democratic Congress critters most valuable to the party. They calculated member’s ratings based on votes this year on social and economic issues and generated a bunch of fancy numbers in the process.
Our retiring Dennis Moore was ranked ninth.
This study shows that even without being a Kennedy or [...]
Now accepting applications for Governor for the State of Kansas. Job promises to be challenging yet potentially rewarding.
