Bribe?  No...contribution...ask a politician.

"alchohol"?  Sounds like something Santa drinks to get
his "ho ho" jollies.  Oh yeah...we got that high
powered taste here.  We aren't talking any of that
Colt 45 or Olde English you Missouri folks sit by the
dumpster and drink out of a brown bag.  We are talking
high class stuff.  You know...anything with a "Born
on" date.

Oh yeah...and what with talk of new stadiums.  Who
knows?  That professional baseball T-Bones team is
going to be a HUGE draw.  Since no one like Kemper
anymore, I am sure the NBA will be moving to Kansas
soon.

It's kinda like the miners working for the company. 
The company OWNS you because you OWE the company for
everything you have.  (and you're welcome)

Yep, especially if you send over that beer and
burritos...we'll become the nations leading producer
of gas.

I guess we got it all going on here.  The Land of AHs.
 Yep...mmmmm hmmm.  Maybe when they build that casino
out there near the track we'll get your money there
too.  We can put statues on all kinds of buildings and
not just the capitol.

I'll make an award so you can keep with your ham radio
while you play slots.  Worked All Casinos Kansas. 
(You can figure where that one is going...)
