Great news Cats fans: Science proves we are younger, richer and not bandwagon

Lawrence is a decent change of pace from Manhattan.

You can't have steak every night. Sometimes you just need a hotdog.

What an honor!  Looks like somebody is raising their game!

You can put lipstick on a pig....

Not sure that being #42 on this list is that wonderful. And with Manhattan at #1 we are clearly losing the battle for jobs in the region.

"Business unfriendly" is being polite. Difficult, smug, NIMBY, painful, uncooperative, unpredictable, unreliable, ........ Lawrence does NOT have a culture favorable to job growth over the last decade. No question about it.

Kellis proves we are rich as crap, don't bother paying taxes like other rich as hell people...   Also, proves our fans are all over the country. 

MANHATTAN, Kan. | The Kansas State athletic department is confident it has committed no wrongdoing in a lack of state sales tax being applied to merchandise sold through its online store.

The Wildcats sell apparel through a website that is managed by Florida-based Team Fan Shop, which handles online sales for athletic departments and conferences across the country. Because it has no offices or employees in Kansas, Team Fan Shop is within its rights to not tax online sales, K-State officials say.

On Monday, the Lawrence Journal-World reported that the Kansas Department of Revenue was looking into K-State’s online sales practices. Although it says it is up to Team Fan Shop whether to begin taxing online sales, the department issued a statement saying it will help the company decide.

“Team Fan Shop’s tax advisers believe it is in compliance with Kansas tax laws,” the statement read. “However, Team Fan Shop and K-State athletics are conducting additional research into the matter. If it is determined that Team Fan Shop should collect sales tax, it will comply.”

Brian Swallow, vice president of sales and marketing for Team Fan Shop, did not return a message seeking comment.

According to a university spokesman, K-State sold merchandise worth $131,539.08 on its online store last fiscal year. Of that revenue, Kansas residents were responsible for $56,104.94 of the purchases.

If sales tax had been applied, K-State would have owed close to an extra $5,000 in taxes.

I've quit noticing.  It all feels so commonplace.    (except with dumbells in hands.)

Just checked in on a co-worker who is a ku grad...making sure he isn't dead or heart-attacking or something.

Make sure he's cashed his social security check too.  Meth addicts are terrible at that kind of thing.    (<-- except with tofu.)
