Governor's son selling "Don't Drop the Soap" prison boardgame | |
2008-01-28 | |
TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — The son of Gov. Kathleen Sebelius is peddling a board game titled “Don’t Drop the Soap,” a prison-themed game he created as part of a class project at the Rhode Island School of Design. John Sebelius, 23, has the backing of his mother and father, U.S. Magistrate Judge Gary Sebelius. The governor’s spokeswoman, Nicole Corcoran, said both parents “are very proud of their son John’s creativity and talent.” . . .
The game includes five tokens representing a bag of cocaine, a handgun and three characters: wheelchair-using ‘Wheelz,” muscle-flexing “Anferny” and business suit-clad “Sal ‘the Butcher.’” . . . h/t Jules Crittenden, who notes that an earlier version of the AP story contained a few more salacious details about the game: An earlier version that moved on the wires had a quote about “No one enters through the front door,” something like that, not sure what that’s supposed to mean, and mentioned something about getting cornered by the Aryan Nations in the showers, but a subsequent version moved minus that, with the unusual notation that it had been edited for length. That was odd. Never seen that before. Wish they’d do a little more of that, as wire scribblers write like there’s no line count sometimes, and cutting for space can be a damned nuisance. | |

#6 From Hutchinson News January 24, 2008 cost for article, summarized: Congressman Jery Moran (R-KS) arrived for this 24th visit to Kiowa County since the May 4 tornado. he was in great form and the consensus at my table was that Jerry delivered, pherhaps, the best speech of his congressional career. Seated at the next table were Dennis and Jean McKinney, two special people, who like so many others, lost their home and earthly possessions in their residence located a short distan ce to the south of the Greensburg city limits. Dennis, the minority leader of the Kansas House of Representatives (D-116th), has been the point man to state and federal agencies and, as always, has done a superb job. These are the 2 people who, despite the efforts of the state and federal agencies, have been getting things done. Only brought up because of sebelius 'I have a green' speech later tonight - look for the lack of support b/c NG troops are gone inline, whose absence went unnoticed by the governor during the ice storms which affected 10s of thousands rather than just under a thousand people with the 'Going Greensburg' face put on the story. That, and maybe junior is trying to build interest/inventory for the museum prison. |

#3 No guess. You can see the proud mother talk greensburg and unity politics (Obama is in El Dorado, KS to honor his grandfather) tonight at the State of the Union Address Dissenting Opinion Hour, as she prepares to leave the governorship and enter into the US Senate. |

#2 Stop Prisoner Rape An eye-opening webiste, independently of its leaning, if only because, beyond the jokes, the reality is that prison rape is perpetred on the weaker and less dangerous inmantes by the actual criminals, and that is has a definite racial/racist element (with the young white man from non violent criminal background as the very, very bottom of the food chain). |
