Not that the governor of a great midwestern state, Kansas -- which is also filled with wonderful, fabulous people who don't deserve the opprobrium of being associated with "the means justify the ends" throwback Brownback -- acted like a peevish child, and ordered the disciplining of a teenage girl he was spying on.

I remember thinking in my daily constitutional around my suburban Salt Lake neighborhood today that it’s possible that I’ve never seen the ducks so amorous. I’m assuming that this line of free association was influenced as much by all of the recent sex scandal coverage as by how many ducks I saw mount each other.
