About 30 miles east of Kansas City (and 60 miles east of Lawrence, KS, where I live), law enforcement is searching some rural property where six adults have alleged that they were sexually abused as children in the 1980′s and 90′s. Targets of the search reportedly include jars buried by

How many jobs has Obama Created?
For much of the year we have noted several hundred thousand jobs lost due to the recession. In fact, we are experiencing the highest unemployment in over a quarter of a century. Some how, in the midst of these horrible accounts, we are also being told that the stimulus package has either saved or created
The GDP’s Dirty Little Secret
The 3.5 percent jump in the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) has many (particularly in government) declaring that “the recession is over!” Tell that to the 10 percent of the population that remains unemployed and to the thousands of small businesses limping along in an economy that is still flat,
