Man living in car since '00 upsets city
August 9, 2007

PITTSBURG, Kan. --Steve Graham might not be in the doghouse over a dispute with his wife, but as far as his neighbors are concerned, he's not far from it. For the past seven years, Graham, 55, has been living in his car parked in the backyard of a house he and his wife, La Donna Graham, own.

Graham said the two have "been having troubles" since 1999 and that he's been out of the house since about 2000. His wife still lives in the home.

"She's not going to support me not having a job and bumming around," Graham said. "I'm trying my best to get a job and get up out of this rut."

But his neighbors, who say Graham plays loud music, often spouts obsenity-laced tirades and uses his yard as a toilet, aren't amused. They have asked the city to prohibit such living arrangements...

...Graham acknowledged that he watches TV, listens to music and sometimes sleeps in his blue, 1989 Buick Century. The car is parked on a concrete slab, mostly covered by a large, blue tarp that is secured with bricks and cinder blocks.

An extension cord from the house to the car provides power for a 13-inch TV, an oscillating fan and a radio.

"I get better reception there than I do in there," he said, pointing at the house. "I listen to Rush (Limbaugh) every day, just about."

"An extension cord from the house to the car provides power for a 13-inch TV, an oscillating fan and a radio."

3. Ah, the simple life and even simpler views:

If it's good, it must be republican. If it's bad, it's the Democrats & liberal media's fault.
What else do you need to know? ;->

4. Oh, lordy...

Three of my parents' four kids went to Pittsburg State at the same time, which is a nice small university - my older brother who got his bachelors there, my older sister who had an associates degree in nursing in the 70s then went back to college there to get her bachelors and then me. It's a nice, small town with some cool historical buildings downtown, but the college is pretty much where you're going to find the most liberalism.

I used to chat with a physics professor a lot, and he told me a story of his going to a meeting of parents concerned about the local schooling system that turned out to be a bitch-fest of conservative nutbags. The guy in charge asked a few questions like, "Who here listens to, 'Focus on the Family?'" and every hand except his went up (he described a giant whooshing noise and then everyone staring at him like he was evil). Then later on the guy in charge was mocking a test question he had gotten from one of the schools as irrelevant (as it didn't mention Christianity, I guess). The question dealt with a polypiped (sp?), and the guy stopped and mockingly asked, "Now how many people here know what a polypiped is?" His was the only hand that went up. He didn't stay too long after the meeting was over.
