Sports Buzz You don't have to be a Jayhawk (full disclosure: I am) to hate this. But it certainly helps. Here are a bunch of Missouri Tigers and AutoTune enthusiasts who hate Kansas/your ears.
Culture Buzz Heads up, conspiracy theorists! The military says it's not a recovered alien craft under that tarp, but an X-47B drone…OR IS IT?!?! (SPOILER: It is.)
Culture Buzz What a statesman. The office of Sam Brownback saw a joking tweet by Kansas teen Emma Sullivan and promptly ran crying to her high school principal. Her school was going to force Sullivan to write a letter of apology to avoid a negative mark on her college transcripts, but she is rightfully refusing. #heblowsalot
They were into anachronistic facial hair before it was anachronistic. This is a photograph of the Fort Riley Eighth Calvary Unit as they enjoy some blue ribbon beer and a roasted pig, taken near Junction City, Kansas (Rock Chalk Jayhawk!) in 1905 by J.J. Pennel. (via facebook.com)
Culture Buzz Located in Wichita, Kansas, Joyland is an amusement park that's been shuttered since 2006. Here are a bunch of creepy/beautiful images documenting nature's reclamation of the site. This is the stuff that Stephen King novels and awesome roman candle fights are born of.
Sports Buzz President Obama released his bracket for March Madness. Being a man of great wisdom and almost preternatural intelligence, he chose Kansas to win it all. Ed. Note: The author of this post is an insanely biased KU graduate.
Celebrity Buzz A new site dedicated to musicians telling the train wreck tales of their worst live performances. I would pay good money to see a bald Juliana Hatfield get into a fight with a homophobe. Many more accounts of concerts gone awry over at The Worst Gig.

Two of the most overused lines in cinema get their due.
Spotted outside of Topeka, KS. Pony up for gas? That car's got plenty of horsepower? Is that a Ford Bronco or Mustang? Hay ride? Eh, you get the idea.
Politics Buzz According to an e-mail forwarded by this Kansas state legislator, nope. Joe Seiwert, a Republican member of the Kansas House of Representatives, says he was passing along information and not opinion. And Carl Paladino only forwarded bestiality porn because he's an amateur zoologist. Anyway, it's good to see Kansas reclaiming its bigotry crown from us elitist New York Islamophobes.

The governor of Kansas is Obama's new choice for head of Health and Human Services. Hopefully she will last longer than Daschle.
Barack Obama, the son of a a black man from Kenya and a white man from Kansas, really is a moment for the history books. Nobody does a slip-up with such conviction like ABC’s Terry Moran.
Politics Buzz An information architect is running against an incumbent as a Kansas State Representative. Here is his story. Tevis’ incredibly web-friendly presence — his main page has a XKCD-style webcomic laying out his goals — has made him a hit among the Twitterati. He’s already more than doubled the Kansas State record for number of number of donors. And he uses the word frack!
Politics Buzz The Governor of Kansas, Kathleen Sebelius, is receiving a lot of mentions as a possible running mate for Barack Obama. As a popular female official in a largely white (and conservative) state she may provide all the benefits of Hillary Clinton with less awkwardness. She’s not that much of a centrist either.
