It looks as if it isn’t only South Carolina legislators who have caught the contagious brain wasting ignoramus disease. It has now spread to Kansas and is becoming more virulent.
The State of Kansas is pushing to ban the Fox show “Cosmos” from airing on television
Several State senators in Kansas will propose a bill on Thursday that would force Fox affiliates in their state to black out the science show completely.
The bill, which many are expecting will pass, would force local Kansas television stations affiliated with Fox to pay steep fines for airing the program. Should any network continue to air all thirteen episodes of the show’s first season, the State would move to revoke their broadcasting privileges completely, driving those networks off the air.

Conservative lawmakers in Kansas are, however, offering Fox a back door through which they could skirt the new law: they won’t press this law into effect if Fox will agree to immediately develop a new show, hosted by young-Earth creationist Ken Ham, which pushes the theories of so-called “intelligent design." This new show would need to be aired on Sunday evenings, before Cosmos, in order for the small-time Fox affiliates to avoid Kansas’ legislative wrath.
The new bill is the brainchild of an ironically-named Kansas State Senator: Tom Edison (R). “Cosmos is a liberal brainwashing program, designed to force our children into questioning the existence of our lord and savior Jesus Christ," Edison said during a recent interview on one of the Fox affiliates under the gun. “It’s a keystone of the liberal agenda that America’s youth be converted into following their so-called `logic,’ so conservatism dies out in a generation or two. Well, we aren’t going to stand for this. We aren’t going to let this TV show ruin our children."
WTF is the matter with Kansas?
Oh, yeah, they’re a red state. Praise Jeee-zus. But puhlease… Even in Texas, I don’t think we would have this equivalent of book burning.
Cute. There is no Senator Tom Edison in Kansas
The National Report is having a bit of fun. It does that.
