Gov. Kathleen Sebelius isn’t the only member of her family getting media attention; so is one of her sons — albeit in the “news of the weird†category. John Sebelius, 23, is selling “Don’t Drop the Soap,†a prison-themed board game he created as part of a class project at the Rhode Island School of Design, Associated Press reported. The description of the game on his Web site (which also lists the governor’s mansion in the contact address) says: “Escape prison riots in The Yard, slip glass into a mob boss’ lasagna in the Cafeteria, steal painkillers from the nurse’s desk in the Infirmary, avoid being cornered by the Aryans in the shower room, fight off Latin Kings in Gang War, and try not to smoke your entire stash in The Hole.â€
Nicole Corcoran, the governor’s spokeswoman, noted that the game — which sells for $34.99, plus packaging, shipping and handling — isn’t intended for children.
UPDATE: As of late Monday, John Sebelius’ Web site no longer listed the governor’s mansion as the contact address, using a Lawrence address instead.

I read yesterday where he is selling via the official governor address. Not appropriate if you ask me. But then again, she is a democrat.
We pay our corrections officers dirt, rarely even providing them a COLA equal to the actual inflation rate, and expect them to walk and work with our states most desperate criminals.
And her son thinks it’s funny.
Sebelius, A leadership void in the Heartland
Since getting elected the Governor has:
Proposed tax increases totaling over $600 million. These tax increases included hiking state sales taxes by 8%, income taxes by 5%, and property taxes by 10%
Promised to “twist arms” to get a $0.50 per pack cigarette tax increase passed.
Imposed on Kansas the 15the highest state-local tax burden in the nation. It has risen 6% since Sebelius took office.
Increased government spending 28% since she took office, while at the same time job growth has been well behind the national average.
Failed to produce private sector jobs. Kansas now ranks 49th in its economic climate rank which “reflects job, income, and gross state product growth as well as unemployment and presence of big companies.” (www.forbes.com)
Demonstrated that only kind of jobs she knows how to create are government jobs. Kansas is third-highest state in the country in the number of government employees per capita.
Rejected the permit for a coal-fired power plant in western Kansas, solely on the grounds that coal plants produce carbon emissions. Kansas is now the only state in the country that takes the radical view that no new coal plant shall ever be built. Her decision cost the state 2,400 jobs. It also made it impossible for seven new wind farms to be built near the plant.
Chairman Kobach added, “Sebelius has the most radical and nonsensical environmentalist agenda of all the governors in America. And she evidently doesn’t care how many jobs Kansas loses.”
Additionally, since Sebelius has taken office, she has vetoed legislation that would have stopped frivolous litigation from harming businesses and driving up the cost of healthcare.
Since Sebelius took office in 2002, Kansas has dropped 9 places in the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Institute for Legal Reforms state rankings.
Kansas has received a “D” by the American College of Emergency Physicians on medical liability. Governor Sebelius has stated, “Perhaps my objectivity has been seriously compromised by my trial lawyers employment, but the premise that people are too eager to use the courts seems hollow to me.” (Sebelius is the former Executive Director of the Kansas Trial Lawyers Association.)
Springfield - you really should attribute your cut-and-past as to its extremist right-wing source.

IF they are doing that they should be slapped big time. IF.
Amway said “corrections officers” hahahahahahaha, as GG Liddy says, “they correct no one”, they are prison guards.
As for the game? It isn’t to becoming of an “inclusive” Democrat to be hawking some game making light of gang-rape and/or homosexuality.
If that’s where he lives, and he’s starting a home business, shouldn’t our good conservatives be applauding his entrepreneurial spirit? It’s not the governor who’s doing it.

“Springfield - you really should attribute your cut-and-past as to its extremist right-wing source.”
Factual truth is just that…regardless from where it originates. No attempt was made to hide the ‘cut and paste’, that’s why I included the Kobach remarks in quotes. It’s the best way to get it accurate.
Amway said “corrections officers” hahahahahahaha, as GG Liddy says, “they correct no one”, they are prison guards. Pleefer
Pleefer, I DARE you to go to El Dorado, Hutch, or Lansing and laugh. Or the Federal facility or US Disciplinary Barracks in Leavenworth and say that!
But more importantly, unless you have ever walked a day in their shoes, you really should not be laughing. Try one day inside the walls. It’s a whole new world.
Here is the job description at the Kansas Dept of Corrections. They are always advertising, they cannot keep employees. We pay them dirt wages.
CORRECTIONS OFFICERS
high school diploma or equivalent
no felony or domestic battery conviction
screening for alcohol or drug related convictions
successful employment and background check
passing score on Corrections Officer Video Test, which assesses aptitude for the job
valid Driver’s License
after conditional offer, drug screening test
‘Fattual truth’ - yea, only in the ‘minds’ (sic) of right-wing extremists.
Springfield, I don’t know why the Libs would question your source or the facts.
The factual history described in your post is EXACTLY the kind of Socialism the Libs are hoping for.
Higher taxes. Higher spending.
No jobs.
More welfare.
Less energy production reduces CO2 and cures global warming.
Think about it Libs. Springfield just described YOUR Socialist Liberal Democrat Party Platform!

Get an education Ben, learn to spell ‘factual’, you might then also realize your political views are ignorant.

Thanks Max,
But now you have set yourself up to get ‘flamed’ by these radical socialists/communists.
“Higher taxes. Higher spending.

Max, you forgot something though…the Libs/Dems utter contempt for the worlds producers that make a life possible. Not only for the producers themselves but even the sit on their asses/do nothing Libs.
Ben is from Georgia, they don’t have to spell words correctly there, just pronounced them, albeit with a drawl. :)

I’m from ElDorado originally, I have at least five friends that are GUARDS out there (I’ll talk with one tonight as a matter of fact). I give them sh.it daily about putting themselves in prison.
Springfield,
Just saw a stupid movie called “Idiocracy”.
Really dumb, but it did make a point about the dumbing down of America.
It was a picture of America 500 years from now.
Looked to me to be more like America 50 years from now.
Liberal heaven is a fat butt on a couch watching TV with your mouth full of food and belly full of beer. Free housing, food, clothing, TV, healthcare, cars, and booze.
In other words: JR
Prison rape. What a laugh riot.

Idiocracy was genius. There are those that hate it (the ones that are reflected) and those that love it (the ones that are scared about it).
‘factual’ - actually I CAN spell - it is my typing that is lousy. As for my political views they are clearly much less ignorant than your right-wing extremism.

“‘factual’ - actually I CAN spell - it is my typing that is lousy. As for my political views they are clearly much less ignorant than your right-wing extremism.”
Ben….whatever, you and your views are still irrelevant.
Springfield - The fact you cant allow anyone their own opinion shows how close minded and ignorant you really are. NONE of your points are referenced with any real facts. some of them are a “so what”. She did the RIGHT THING by denying the coal plant. She did the RIGHT THING by proposing raising taxes, she realizes the only way to pay for the things that everyone is asking for is by raising taxes. You dont want taxes raised, than dont expect to get your road paved, or for that farmer to get phone service… Oh and your “facts” regarding the jobs lost, is BS. According to the Holcomb website, they were only expected to create about 500 jobs in the state, not 2400.
How about you try referencing your supposed facts and get them right before lambasting everyone else on the blog.
“Liberal heaven is a fat butt on a couch watching TV with your mouth full of food and belly full of beer. Free housing, food, clothing, TV, healthcare, cars, and booze.”
You sure spend a lot of time on this blog, Max…don’t you have a job?..or do you just sit on your fat butt, playing on the computer with your mouth full of food and a belly full of beer?
“Liberal heaven is a fat butt on a couch watching TV with your mouth full of food and belly full of beer. Free housing, food, clothing, TV, healthcare, cars, and booze.”
excuse me Most Nascar fan are republicans —– they don’t know any better

Oh, Maxine, what an intellectually challenged bunch of B.S. you posted here.
Eric Carman could have done better.
“carman” should have been “Cartman”
Springfield - to you and your fellow drug addicts they probably are. Try laying off those “Limbaugh Whites” for a while. Then you might wake up to see reality.
