News Item: Liberal man sentenced to more than 20 years for kids' deaths.

I have been visiting your blog and enjoy reading very much.

I grew up in Liberal, Kansas and let me tell you, it's anything but liberal politically!

Apparently the story goes that Liberal got its name by a man who had a water well there and was liberal with the water.
