Poor Kansas

Kansas has been, and I am sure will continue to be, the brunt of many jokes. Here's the newest:


There is a good Kansas joke in one of the old Bond movies too, where Bond is being shown the Diabolical Weapon du Jour by whatever bad guy was in that movie... Dr. No or something... and he mentions something like the missle could blow up Kansas, but he wouldn't bother because no one would notice for several months.

So Kansas is much maligned, and it is deserving of most of it considering how horrendously mismanaged the place is. Still, it COULD be a cool place. And I can tolerate most of the joking... just not the Wizard of Oz whitticisms. Wow, I was quite alliterative in this post...
