Opinion Line (Feb. 21)

Daylight saving time is the worst thing ever created by man. We call on our legislators to vote to end it as soon as possible.


Forty percent of home loans made in 2014 were subprime loans. We either do not learn very fast or we are being led by idiots. Or maybe both.


A Tesla isn’t a green car. If you account for the manufacture and recycling of the batteries and the impact of charging with power generated from a coal power plant, it’s worse for the planet than anything you’re driving now.


The death penalty is not about deterrence. It’s about justice. Get it?


Obama saw his shadow this past week, so we’ll be having two more years of national malaise.


If the president is giving all fourth-graders and their parents free passes to all federal parks this next year, I would like to know how it is to be calculated so as to be deducted from his salary each month.


I was really hoping Oklahoma would ban the part of U.S. history where it became a state.


So what does it take to recall a governor in Kansas? Isn’t it time we looked into that? Surely continued fiduciary malfeasance on the part of our leader would qualify.

WSU needs to hire Penn State’s lawyer. That guy knows how to win an appeal.


I have COPD, asthma, irregular heartbeat and arthritis, and I have a handicapped parking sticker. I may look like someone abusing the system, but do not criticize until you know what the person is suffering. Your day may come.


I am glad the Nelsons got their Louie the Clown back. Maybe he could he shared with the rest of us who missed him, too, such as at the Wichita-Sedgwick County Historical Museum. Louie and his Wurlitzer together again – what a sight.


Women are outraged over domestic violence, yet they are flocking to see “Fifty Shades of Grey.” Mind-blowing.


Did Warren West do this on purpose – list the movie title “Black or White” directly under the title “Fifty Shades of Grey” on its marquee?


Girls, by dressing like a hooker you’re getting the wrong kind of attention from the wrong kind of guy. If my wife had dressed anything like that, we would’ve never been married.
