Opinion Line (Oct. 1)

This is rich: Congressmen who march in lockstep to the NRA’s “guns everywhere” agenda are now concerned that we don’t know who’s carrying what near the White House.

Why would the Secret Service have women agents when one can easily get overpowered by a man running around in the White House? Why should they get equal pay from any law enforcement agency when they cannot do their job?

I watched the interview with Barack Obama on “60 Minutes.” He will take credit for every accomplishment, but play the blame game for anything that may cast a negative light on him. This constitutes a serious personality disorder.

If you want to see Eric Holder in a black robe on the Supreme Court, vote for Greg Orman and let Harry Reid control the agenda.

This must be a really important Senate race coming up. Not only have Jeb Bush, John McCain and Sarah Palin come to Kansas, but Pat Roberts has visited as well.

Kris Kobach needs to grow a Charlie Chaplin-type mustache, as it would look very becoming on him.

While Kobach stages a public crusade over 600 overseas votes, disqualified registrations have jumped from 18,000 to 22,000. Coincidence or smoke screen?

The Eagle editorial board continues to present County Commissioners Karl Peterjohn and Richard Ranzau as ogres. Although I am not in either’s district, I applaud their efforts to bring a rational approach to the county’s spending. We really need to elect someone to help them.

You know you’re a bad college football coach when the morning after you’re fired the headline on the front page of the paper is about the world’s largest ball of twine.

Only in America can you have a losing record at two universities and still get $10 million.

I am at a seminar with hundreds of professionals. More than a few are wearing shorts and flip-flops. Can pajamas be far behind?
