Ozblog

Somewhere, over the rainbow, a blog is born. A blog for Kansas. A blog for America. A blog by a reporter with a difficult-to-pronounce last name.

Wichita and abortion

The latest Rolling Stone has an article about Operation Rescue West and Wichita's increasingly aggressive anti-abortion movement. Link is here. (Operation Rescue likes the article, by the way.)

Meanwhile, Thomas Frank's "What's the Matter With Kansas?" is #5 on the NYTimes best-seller list. Freezerbox riffs on Frank's subject matter with an analysis of what he calls "spite voters."

And one alert blog-reader sent on kudos for Knight Ridder cited in today's Progress Report from the Center for American Progress, a leftish DC think tank/advocacy group. Scroll down the "Under the Radar" section.
