Tiger Woods didn't need to apologize to anybody except his wife. The PGA needs to apologize and get him back on tour.

How ironic to see the story on Hawker Beechcraft sending the Salina jobs to Mexico on the same page showing an introduction to ethics class at Butler Community College. All the re-education in the world won't get you a job until we, as a nation, penalize those companies that outsource our future.

The only way to compete with cheap labor overseas is to lower wages. No one in America wants to work for peanuts.

The people voted their desire for change, but the Democrats, who had the ball in their hands, dropped the ball.

* * *

I would like to challenge the Republicans to come up with some new talking points. We're really tired of hearing the same old lies.

Let's not let the ball drop on legalizing marijuana, medical or otherwise. Boomers, when our generation was young, the "war on drugs" hurt us, and now it's hurting our children and soon our grandchildren. What happened to the rebels? Were they all assimilated?

How arrogant is columnist Bob Lutz to think he dictates Shocker nation? And how ridiculous is WSU coach Gregg Marshall for empowering Lutz to do so? But, Shocker fans booing their 22-6 team? It's all pathetic. Good luck, Shockers.

I was at the Evansville game, and, yes, there was some booing at the Shockers. But not enough to be making such a big deal about it. Lutz, Marshall: Go to your corners and knock it off, will you?

* * *

Bible-thumpers' prediction of a Sodom and Gomorrah apocalyptic event in Dodge City did not occur after the opening of the casino. In fact, flushed with gaming dollars, the city is destined to become the Prairie Vegas.

I work at a company that has random drug checks. Anybody on welfare should have to pass a drug test to receive welfare or assistance of any kind.
