Kansas?

"Kansas?" by Stephen Linhart and Sue Peabody
Today, Dinah comes to you from the Jayhawker Lounge in downtown Lawrence, KS.
Dinah has put a lot of miles on her (2200 from NJ to KS) since last speaking with you, my dear and loyal readers, and boy oh boy, is she feeling it! But it's a beautiful day here in Kansas and I am comfily ensconced in The Eldridge Hotel to attend the Christmas party for the Lord and Master's company.
It's been a good news-bad news kind of a day for me, so in keeping with that theme here are a few tidbits.
The good news? The condition of evil "Blind Sheik" Omar abdul-Rahman is "deteriorating" as he rots in jail with a tumor on his liver. The bad news? The possibility of a new round of terror attacks in the US because of it.

The good news? The hanging effigy of an Arab stabbed in the heart with an American flag is causing uneasiness in Marin County. The bad news? The neighbors are upset. But as the effigy owner points out, if it was George Bush hanging in his yard, they neighbors would all be cheering.

As you know Dinah hearts John Bolton, and the news that he would be leaving his post at the Useless Nations was truly bad news. The good news? He's going out swinging and calling for genocide incitement charges against Ahmadinnerjacket.

The good news? The water's fine. The bad news? Unless you're fully covered like a good dhimmi you aren't allowed in.

Oh and here's a travel tip - if you are ever in Kansas try the Boulevard Unfiltered Wheat beer. Quite tasty.
