contestCongratulations to Jim Holler of Bentley who won this week’s cartoon-caption contest. Here are some of the other entries:
Jason Griffin: “Where seldom is heard a discouraging word and the skies are…are…oh, forget it.”
Bill Hess: “It’s to the stars through greenhouse gases!”
Drew of Great Bend: “Sure most of the electricity goes out of state. But the pollution made the illegal aliens leave.”
Karen Wallace: “Is this what they mean by a state coal-ition???”
Becky Hilt: “To the stars through dinosaur dust!”
Burt Parry: “Add aspirator per coal plant.”
Richard Gottlob: “I’d rather see haystacks than smokestacks.”
Richard Brown: “This really is the Sunflower State. Sunflower writes the laws and the legislature rubber stamps ’em.”
Kim Dunakey: “Rough road to the stars my foot. Just line the right pockets and the road becomes an 8-lane expressway.”
Cheryl Sullenger: “That’s no coal plant! That’s Tiller’s incinerator! Is he burning babies or incriminating abortion files?”

    I wonder if attic ventiliation turbines could be made to generate electricity, seems mine is spinning like a top most of the time.

    Cheryl seems confused as to what issue she submitted her comment on. I will just have to guess that she is for air polluting, water depleting coal plants. She is only clear on what she is against and the inclusion of her off topic comment here is inappropriate.

    A more on topic submission?

    “Well, we’re sending them the power and the water. I just wish we could send the pollution outta state too!”

    I agree with Suzannekarmin. Cheryl Sullenger did time in a Federal penitentiary for her role in a San Diego clinic bombing. She’s a convicted felon and a terrorist. Why does the Eagle keep giving her credibility?

    WHY?

    Like I said before, the one issue people will take any topic and switch it to Their topic, just like an Amway distributor.

    So outlander knows a pair of horses that put out about 11 million tons of CO2 every year, plus huge amounts of sulfates, mercury, cadmium, lead, and other dangerous chemicals?

    What are those two horses fed outlander? A mountain of coal?

    And outlander,

    I suggest that you stay well upwind of those two horses.

    And you might want to avoid eating veggies, fish, etc, from downwind of them.

    Cheryl Sullenger belongs back in federal prison for her acts against humanity.

    Now Cosmos, I was gonna put a sense of humor in your Christmas stocking next year, but I’m thinking now that a lump of coal would be more appropriate!

    outlander,

    I’ve got a sense of humor, and I got your “joke”.

    Maybe you didn’t get my “joke”, about what the horses are fed?

    I just wanted to point out that your horses had a “problem” with their volume of gases, and toxicity.

    Tom,
    Part of Ms. Sullinger’s perticipation in the clinic bombing was to try to make their terrorist appear to be African-American, so as to make it appear to be a racial rather than a christian incident. Something about bearing false witness, as well as all those other commandments that got in her way?

    Why would I be surprised that my contribution to the comment section does not appear in the list. Some of us are not opposed to the Holcomb project, but would like to see the plant in Lawrence closed as it pollutes more than the Holcomb projections. That must be why it’s the “editorial page”. I wonder if we will see a caption about the transportation center south of Kansas City that is estimated to contribute more CO 2 to the atmosphere than all three Holcomb plants combined.

    I knew Cheryl Sullenger was low, but I didn’t think she would stoop so low, … to attempt shift the blame for her act of terrorism onto an African-American…what a scumbag!!
