The census, as usual, has caused a great uproar. Everything being asked is on public record. Wouldn't it be more efficient if the states just submitted what they have every 10 years — birth and death records, transfers of property ownership, income-tax filings, etc.?

Enough is enough. It's time for Republicans to shut up and get out of the way so Democrats can fix this mess for the American people.

* * *

Seems like the Democrats have their gas pedal stuck; they can't slow down. I call that suicide.

I'm just dumbstruck that the Kansas House delayed talks on tax-increase proposals until May. I'm not anti-government, but all of those serving in the House and Senate should find another hobby. They're not taking care of Kansans at all.

* * *

If Kansas had some decent congressmen, they would be fighting for more stimulus money for our schools, as congressmen in other states are doing.

* * *

I can't believe The Eagle would print the March 16 letter from the hate-filled Margie Phelps. I know she has a right to speak, but why provide a forum for her vitriol?

* * *

I thank Margie Phelps and the mean-spirited religion she represents for their upcoming attack in the U.S. Supreme Court on petty would-be tyrants who would limit our First Amendment freedoms.

* * *

Whoever says Kansas has the best roads apparently has never been through the city of Bel Aire. Its streets would win for the worst roads in America.

* * *

Are you seriously annoyed with people singing and dancing at concerts? What are we supposed to do? I paid $200 for a ticket for the Elton John-Billy Joel concert, and I wanted to enjoy my time there.

* * *

The St. Patrick's Day parade is getting pretty lame. I think two-thirds of it consisted of SUVs advertising either their church or their political agenda. Let's bring back a real parade for the kids. Otherwise I'm going to quit going.

* * *

The NCAA should start giving technical fouls for swearing. I don't need to hear K-State coach Frank Martin swearing at his players. As college graduates, coaches should be able to express themselves in a civilized manner.

* * *

The Norman Rockwell exhibition at the Wichita Art Museum is fabulous. It's huge. Everyone should go and see it.
