GOP bigwigs are in a panic that Ron Paul (in photo) could win next week’s Iowa presidential caucuses. “This threatens the coalition that can put Karl Rove and Wall Street and the religious right at the same table to slice the pie of power,” columnist John Kass wrote. If Paul wins Iowa, his libertarian ideas might catch fire, Kass wrote, “and then the bosses won’t be able to feed as easily.”
Good for the Wichita community for stepping up yet again to help a worthy cause. Local businesses, churches and a large crew of volunteers are converting an old church in Midtown into the base for the Wichita Children’s Home Street Outreach program. Social workers and law enforcement officers hope that getting homeless teens off the streets and helping them get services will help prevent them from being preyed upon by sex traffickers. For those who want to help, the volunteer-organizing group ICT SOS is planning a workday at the resource center on Jan. 16. Go to ictsos.org for more information.
