Editorial on Kansas House control and calendar reform
A Kansas editorial analyzes the shift of power in the Kansas House as Republicans move from minority to majority and considers a proposed reform to Calendar Committee rules. It argues open votes and 24 hour notice would curb anti democratic tactics and questions how the new majority will respond. The piece notes lingering anti administration sentiment and humorously comments on Lincoln era relevance and other assorted musings.

Plinkplinks News Broadcasts and Local Notes
A quirky mock radio script markets Plinkplinks with overblown product claims and sponsor plugs. It blends fictional newsroom talk with real historical notes about Ottawa events and local visits, mentioning Eisenhower and Roosevelt era birthdays, a Coast Guard cadet exam, and a broken arm incident from Ottawa in the 12 year old’s fall.
Visitor or Native: Clarifying the Source's Impression
The speaker notes that it can be taken for granted the person is a visitor rather than a native, suggesting outsider status or temporary presence without asserting roots or long-term residence. The remark signals a perceptual distinction rather than established fact.
Geography Once Pleasant Now Means Mostly Trouble
A reflective piece on how geography education has shifted from wondrous maps to global tension. It contrasts nostalgic childhood images of distant lands with modern anxieties from Dien Bien Phu to Korea and the Pescadores Islands, noting a loss of wonder and rise of fear surrounding current world affairs. It closes with a sardonic epitaph idea for Serge Rubinstein.
