Kansas Republicans becoming oddly reasonable?

What the hell is happening in Topeka? Heading into this Kansas legislative session, Plog was poised to poke fun at the budget-slashing, culture-destroying, rights-infringing, possibly racist foibles that the Sunflower State’s conservative elected officials were sure to engage in. But all that great lunacy is so far MIA.

Yeah, Gov. Sam Brownback spent his first few months in office consolidating state agencies and departments like they were Russian nesting dolls. And state Rep. Virgil Peck showed last week that some politicians, even post-Tucson, haven’t given up violent rhetoric. Still, Republicans in the Kansas Legislature are acting like someone slipped reason-promoting roofies in their coffee.
