Kansas is toast - I've been quietly rooting for Miss Kansas on the Miss USA pageant tonight, but she gave two politically incorrect answers to questions in the end. First, she revealed that she worked with a Catholic charity to work on issues such as abortion (presumably "against.") Then, as former Miss USA Tara Connor stood nearby, she said not everybody deserves a "second chance" such as people convicted for murder.

Oh boy. They were, by far, the most lucid answers given to these silly questions (Miss Rhode Island said that if she could ban anything, she would stop people from talking on their cell phones while driving.) But you could see everybody's eyebrows head skyward.

Update - Miss Tennessee won, she was good. Kansas came in 3rd.
