Cato nearly flunks Sebelius
The Cato Institute recently gave Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius a grade of "D" for her fiscal policy in 2006.
On KPR News this morning, a spokeswoman for the office was quoted as saying the Governor is "fine with the rating, considering the source."
It must be nice to pick and choose which grades you will accept after the teacher has handed them out. If the Governor's office believed she was fiscally responsible, they wouldn't have given this non-answer.
I expected better, and you can damn sure I'll remember this if you choose to run for another office someday.
In my family, D's were F's.

Didn't some business magazine ("Entrepreneur" or something like that) recently give Sebelius an "A" grade on being business-friendly?
It seems kinda weird that Cato and this business magazine would be polar opposite, since I would guess they would use similar criteria for measurement.
Oh well.
Cato's grade was based primarily on her propensity to raise taxes rather than cut spending.
I suspect Cato sees "business friendly"=corporate welfare
