KS governor wants to outlaw Justin Bieber

MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) - High school students attending Kansas Boys' State in Manhattan have received some serious advice from Gov. Sam Brownback: Develop strong friendships. Find worthy mentors.

And the governor also jokingly pushed a piece of legislation for consideration during the week of mock government activities: Do something about pop superstar Justin Bieber.

KMAN-AM reports (http://bit.ly/KlQWwm ) the governor drew cheers and applause with the suggestion Wednesday night.

Brownback mentioned he has a 14-year-old daughter, then added, "I would love you guys to outlaw Justin Bieber or something like that."

It makes us look like humorless harpies to jump him over that. There's plenty of other stuff to criticize him over.
