In a follow-up to a post we did earlier this week about KS-04 Congressman Todd Tiahrt accusing KS-01 Congressman Jerry Moran of being “endorsed” by the Communist Party USA for supporting a measure that would open foreign travel to Cuba, we have this post on the potential impact that bloggers can make in opening otherwise [...]

by Skye Coleman on November 19, 2009 · Comments
In an effort to avoid rash decisions and hasty judgments, I decided to wait a couple of days before weighing in on the latest addition to the Democratic ticket, Thomas Wiggans. By now all of you have surely heard about his storied past, but just in case you haven’t, allow me to present a brief [...]
Rep. Bill Otto is “A Colored Person Also”
by Colin Curtis on November 17, 2009 · Comments
Earlier this year Caleb posted about Kansas Representative Bill Otto (R – 9th District) and his ‘Redneck Rap’. Well today in my boredom, I decided to check out Rep Otto’s YouTube page just in case he produced another hit single. A video entitled ‘Redneck Rap 3′ (see below) was on there. This one may not become [...]
President Obama today posted a new video, one year after he was elected President. In it, he reminds us that the job is not complete and that there are still many challenges that lay ahead. If you haven’t signed up for Organizing for America (OFA), do so now and here so that we can help [...]

Then listen to my favorite take on it all – Rachel Maddow.
Last year was a great election… well for some of my friends it was a great election. I spent the evening at the Ramada in Topeka with my other political friends who all lost their jobs that night. That night I went back and forth between the bar, the diner, our swanky room, and whoring myself to media to talk about young voters and everywhere I had a conversation with someone where they said “man… we just can’t be stopped!” My response then was: “Yeah… if we don’t screw it up…”
If you haven’t seen Jesus Camp it is both frighting and disgusting. I’m a big fan of church camps and talking to young people about making the right choices and creating a dialogue about values, but this is alarming on many levels. The camp that this documentary was filmed at has now been shut down. But many more like it exist.
