Wow, I knew La Page was a schmuck, but damn. Even Brownback hasn't been idiotic enough to go that head-on against Kansas' university system; that's not to say we haven't all taken some serious hits, particularly the Kansas State Research and Extension service.

I don't understand the mentality of ultra-right wing Republicans (any more than I do the bat-shite crazies on the left). But their seemingly universal hatred of higher education really leaves me puzzled.

Ok, it doesn't. But in deference to Ben's general desire to avoid discourse on crazed political hacks, I won't go there. :)
