Opinion Line Extra (Dec. 2)

The Kansans in Congress who voted for the Keystone XL pipeline should be required to be the first responders into the Ogallala Aquifer for the cleanup of a leak from the pipeline.

Attention, Democrats: If the Koch brothers are buying this state, when do I get my check? Go back to whining and name-calling. It suits you better.

Personally I can’t wait until the fun starts when we find out Jonathan Gruber is working on Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign.

Yes, we all miss the “honesty” of George W. Bush – especially his “honesty” about Iraq’s involvement in Sept. 11 and its ownership of weapons of mass destruction.

Replace the two Sonic guys with Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi. Have them discuss economics and the laughs will never stop.
