A highlight of Saturday’s broadcast of “A Prairie Home Companion” from the Kansas State Fair in Hutchinson was the “Kansas Rap” that host Garrison Keillor had fashioned from suggested bumper stickers sent to him by Wichitan Charlie Whitworth. Some Kansans may find the wit a bit rough — and somebody needed to update Keillor on the state’s liquor laws — but it has some good laughs. Here’s one stanza among five:
“A person who moves to Kansas learns/We drive fast and don’t signal turns./And a Kansas gourmet restaurant serves/A plate of fries as your hors d’oeuvres./There’s cold winds and blazing sun./Where we raise the beef and the bun./It’s rangeland and endless sky./It’s where fashions come to die./No bourbon in a silver flask./No Sunday liquor — don’t even ask./No poker hands to be dealt./We’re the third notch on the Bible Belt./No painted ladies on our arms./No need for casinos, we’ve got farms.”

…Huh? Who is this guy?..
DB, you’re a liar
Liar
Way to go, Charlie!
:) That’s a pretty good rap.
I DID NOT post that, DB.
It’s a name-stealing troll.
But keep it up, troll boy. It shows the level of your discourse.
Anybody who supports Bush with unthinking adoration the way you do isn’t too smart, so we know what we’re dealing with.
And your tactics prove it.
blame it on bush and bush supporters, right?any other tactics?
Newsflash! Name-stealing troll discovered to have no nuts!
Too chickensh*t to face opponents, Chickensh*t Troll told our reporters today that he was just too yellow and stupid to face the likes of CF, XXX, Galahad, Snidley, JR, Brian, etc.Chickensh*t told our WE reporter, “Man, I tried facing those dudes, but they made me look like an idiot! It was just so hard on my delicate little neocon ego! I just had to resort to being a nutless low-rent Chickensh*t to respond.”
Chickensh*t Troll was last seen bandaging where cajones would be if he’d ever had any and mumbling about getting even.
CF and xxx are the same person.
Ben Dover and Galahad are the same person.
Heh, no we’re not, Anon.
But I can understand why you’re angry and desperate. We outed Gail, Question, ID, Ahmad etc. as the one and the same POS he is, and now you want to do something similar to our side.
Trouble is, we’re not doing what he was doing.
So, good luck, and may whatever deity you believe in bless you.
I’m CF?! Damn, I must have gotten an IQ augmentation!!! Thanks for the nice compliment, Anon.
Sorry, Galahad. Your wrong. Again. Maybe I’m a WE staffer just out to get your (and others) goat to drive traffic and increase advertising dollars. ID is ID.
Or maybe you’re not.
Dumbass.
Told ya! Baaaaaaaa!!!
XXX,
Thanks for the compliment!
Anon, to quote Helen Reddy,
“I AM CF–HEAR ME ROAR.”
Anon, you TOTALLY just shot your wad. Big time. XXX may be a fellow lib and an all-around swell guy/gal, but I ain’t XXX and XXX ain’t me.
You trolls ever heard of projecting? That’s where you assume others are like you and that they share your characteristics. Well, for reasons unknown to me, name-stealing is a predominately Wingnut phenomenon. Liberals rarely do it. I’ve NEVER posted under any name on this blog other than CF. How ironic that the liberals are straight-shooters compared to the Troll Trash who are harrassing posters on this blog.
When you sorry-ass Wingnuts can’t win any arguments because you lack balls AND intelligence, you start playing games like the stupid fucking children you are. Nyah, nyah, nyah: I win! That’s the substance of your ‘arguments.’ I may disagree with someone like Jimmy Bisoni, and we may go at each other, but he’s no troll. You punks, on the other hand, well…you’re children. You aren’t worth the bother.
With your rapidly disposed of identities and ankle-biting / run away and hide strategy, you remind me of a bunch of al Qaeda assholes. Your mentality is every bit as low and cowardly as theirs.
Uhhhhh I forgot. I was posted to be some other liberal posters disciple. I think though that the poster called me a desciple. Damn it’s tough thinking for yourself as yourself…….
Oh YEAH Hank said that! Then Hank went away and came back as himself and his son nathan or maybe it was his nurse when the computer was on and he was away or maybe it was Gail or maybe Ahmed.
Can’t tell the neocons without a Rushannity scorecard in here!
JR,
Thick as thieves they are. Name-stealing thieves, that is.
I’m still waiting for Puny the Castrati to regale us with another of his whiny screeds. Judging by how it’s been since the last one, you can tell it costs him a lot of effort.
Don’ be sillyI ain’t been goneJus’ ain’t seen nuthin’worth commentin’ on.
Ya’ get all tangledin yer BVDsAn’ I laugh so hardI’m really pleased.
The good news isthis verse so tritedon’t take no timeat all to write.
Carry on my friendsIt is a pleasure.Be back to youin my good measure.
