Historic Iraqi election tests Bush effort and media tone
The piece argues American media largely opposes Bush, yet notes Iraq’s historic vote with about 70 percent turnout. It highlights 275 parliament seats from 7,655 candidates on 996 tickets, warns of ongoing attacks, and questions future stability as U S forces draw down. It laments media coverage and calls the vote a significant step yet not a guarantee of peace.

Who Wants To Kill Christmas By Kevin Horrigan
Poem lampoons conservative framing of liberal plots to destroy Christmas. Satirically, V.P. Richard Cheney appears as the culprit figure, claiming liberals, Democrats, and media symbology orchestrate a secular theft of Christmas while stoking fear for political gain. The piece mocks partisan media narratives and ends with authorial attribution.

LMH defers birthing room decision amid data questions
Lawrence Memorial Hospital trustees again delay action on a planned birthing room after calling for more safety information. State census figures cited by officials show Lawrence and Douglas County counts near 52,000 and 66,949 though contested as likely low. A groundwater study by KU’s Ernest Angino team found no local contaminants. Sports notes discuss Gale Sayers reaching 22 NFL TDs with Kansas, deer season results, and a 1905 Lawrence Poultry Show recap.
