What's the matter with Kansas?

In his best selling "conservatives suck" book, Thomas Frank asked the question, What's the Matter with Kansas?

If he's working on a sequel, Frank might want to include a chapter about reckless bachelorette parties.

Wichita police arrested three people in Old Town on Sunday in an incident that began when a man threw an inflatable penis at an officer's horse.

Officers were patrolling Old Town on horseback at about 1:20 a.m. when they came across a large group of women in their early- to mid-20s who had been celebrating at a bachelorette party, police said.

Also in the group was a 24-year-old man, a brother to one of the women at the party. He was carrying a 5-foot-long inflatable penis, police said.

"While he was joking around with this toy, he launched this large toy toward one of our officers, who was on horseback," police spokesman Gordon Bassham said.

The "object" spooked the horse, and the police arrested the wielder of the "weapon."

A woman who struck a horse's head was also arrested, after the equine stepped on her foot.

There will be plenty to talk about at the wedding reception.
