Announcing Dirt Diver USA
Quick note to all, today we are proud to announce the launch of our parent site, the nationally focused Dirt Diver.
Over the past year, the state of Kansas has served admirably as a proving ground for the concept – one of the most surprising things we learned in the process was that people didn’t understand [...]
Real emails from Kansas Days
Following Kansas Days, the Diver thought it would be a good time to share some real emails from real Diver readers:
- – -
Thanks for ruining the big surprise about my forthcoming departure from the Kansas GOP. -CiCi Rojas

Thanks for pointing out what an imbecile that CiCi Rojas really is. We should have fired [...]
Dirt Diver scoops Kansas media with breaking news of Christian Morgan’s fiscal ineptitude
UPDATE:This story is now breaking all over the Kansas media, and it appears the biggest loser so far isn’t CiCi Rojas, but Kris Kobach. Regardless of who is to blame, it appears Kobach has the most to lose due to his campaign for Secretary of State. In the mean time, the Kansas media is still [...]
Star columnist craps on keyboard, calls it “journalism”
So there I was, perusing the headlines for news on the health care battle going on in Washington, D.C. You know, the one where the GOP leadership in Kansas has been utterly silent? (More on that coming soon.) And what to my wondering eyes should appear? A half-witted (drunk?) blog post on the Star’s website [...]
VIDEO: Sebelius is too cheap to be part of Obama’s cabinet
Dirt Diver’s powerful political network has uncovered the shocking explanation of why Barack Obama has yet to name Governor Sebelius to a cabinet position. The audio is sketchy at best, but the technical gurus in the Dirt Diver lab have enhanced it as much as possible. Enjoy.

The startled reporter had just read something on the internet about Sebelius being a potential Obama nominee for some position or [...]
Throwing a cold cup of water on more Sebelius speculation
At great risk to the credibility of this prestigious blog, Dirt Diver is going out on a limb today to dash the breathless rumors and more reasoned discussion flying about that Governor Kathleen Sebelius is once again back in the running for a cabinet position in the Obama Administration.
Look, people. If she took herself out [...]
A Belated Challenge to Greg Musil and “Johnson Countians for Justice”
What weighs more: A pound of lead or a pound of feathers?
I have a similar question for the Johnson County Bar Association, and the supporters, like Greg Musil, of Issue 1 in Johnson County: Which is worth more to a special interest group: A crucial judge’s seat in a merit selection state, or a crucial [...]
Object Lesson: Why newspapers are bleeding to death
Kansas City Star editor and columnist Barb Shelly cranked out some of the most ridiculous drivel we’ve ever read in a while. Back in the old days, when the Star was all we had to read while we were waiting in the doctor’s office, or the beauty parlor/barbershop, or on the bus, this sort of [...]
