Zombies doing pretty much anything makes my day. (Except, of course, coming to get me!) But when they step up their game, step away from all the brains and entrails, and sing a rendition of Kansas's "Dust in the Wind"? I weep a little inside.

Thanks to an 1887 law, pro-life Kansans have circumvented their prosecutors and
called a grand jury to investigate a doctor they accuse of providing late-term abortions for three decades.

Three women, none named Hillary Clinton, are on Politico's
short list of potential Barack Obama running mates. They include: Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, Arizona Gov.

A Kansas man who has admitted molesting a boy is under judge's orders to advertise his crime. He's been sentenced to
post signs around his house and affix a decal on his car proclaiming that he is a sex offender. The hand-painted signs read, “A Sex Offender Lives Here” and cover all four sides of Leroy Schad's white house in this central Kansas town.

Oprah is keen on a woman politician not named Hillary Clinton. The latest issue of O magazine features Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius in a piece about the virtues of female executive know-how. Governor Sebelius, an Obama supporter, gave this year's Democratic response after Bush's State of the Union.
It's stuff like this that renews my hope in girlkind. (Yes, it's my made-up word.)

I mean, a teen playing an epic Kansas tune (
Wayward Son) on the organ—unironically?
