The Kansas City Star's political writer, Dave Helling, would like the world to note that Kansas no longer has a statewide female office holder.
I think readers are supposed to be aghast that Kansas has had one such official every year since 1966. And now we don't.
Pardon me, while I sing a song of sorrow to my ovaries. Oh wait. I don't care.
As a general rule, I typically prefer female candidates. After years of watching government in action, I think conservative women play the game better than just about anyone in the business. But there was no such woman on any of the statewide tickets in November.
And I would like to note that I cannot remember the KC Star ever having a woman cover the Kansas Legislature. There was Sullinger, Cooper, Helling, Kraske... all ovary-challenged.
This story is dumb. That is all.
