Thank you to the Commissioners for voting YES to this much-needed development! In a few years all of you nay-sayers will look back and realize that you were wrong. Four commissioners have my vote for re-election, one doesn't.

I've got a another idea. Force all of the smokers to smoke only high tar, high nicotine, unfiltered cigarettes. That way, we can be rid of all of them in about 20 years when they all kick the bucket from lung cancer and emphysema. Give them the right to kill themselves. That's what I call freedom!

Looks like • 2900 Eaglecrest (SHELL) has problems with 24 approved, 26 rejected specifications (short hoses, several octane labels need replaced, numerous other unspecified reasons).

I filled my tank on 9/11 at this SHELL station, because I simply needed gas that day. This station tripled its price (or more) that day (such patriots). I reported them to the State of KS for gouging and went to the station to ask to speak to the manager. I was told that the manager was too busy to talk to me (hiding in the back office). I have NEVER returned to that station, since......and never will.

So, I guess we assume that the Gazette is protecting the name of the gas station for some reason? Hmmmm.

I think 1,000 hours at the zoo shoveling animal feces would be a start for punishment (after doing some time in juvenile hall, of course). Or, better yet, let's put the two in a cage at the zoo, so that we can harass and berate them....heck, throw their parents in, too!

You're saying no black cats, Roman candles or screaming meemies?
Come on. No ladyfingers, buzz bottles, snicker bombs......church burners, finger blasters, gut busters, zippedy-doodas, crap flappers?..
No whistling bungholes, spleen splitters, whisker biscuits, honkey lighters, Husker Dos and don'ts.
Cherry bombs, nipsy dazers, with or without the scooter stick.....or one single whistling kitty-chaser?

Simple solution - tattoo bar-codes on each student - or - implant radio frequency IDs (RFIDs) into their arms. Take your pick.

Can anyone tell me why Emporia originally had a .ws domain to begin with? .ws is a Western Samoa domain!

Wait a minute! If you take the word Somalia and rearrange the letters (minus the L, I), it spells Samoa! Coincidence?

I didn't even know that Emporia had a web site until I read this article. I've been going to the rather sparse www.emporia.com web site all this time (owned by the Gazette).

Hey, here's an idea - Maybe the Gazette could have given Emporia the www.emporia.com domain name? Just an idea.
