Hey, let's have a role-reversal party!
Conservative George Will says Republicans should knock off the war-mongering:
"We don't like your stinkin' law!"
"Oh, OK, never mind."
Indiana is one of 10 states seeking and receiving a waiver from the No Child Left Behind Act. Even more states are set to request the waivers:
I've had a nice thing or two to say about the ACLU recently. Wouldn't want to make a habit of that, though, so allow me to note with distaste that organization's astonishing and repugnant claim that President Obama's decision to mandate coverage for birth control does not violate the religious-liberty guarantee of the First Amendment:
If you're thinking about buying some sex, you might want to hold off for a while. I wouldn't recommend it in Fort Wayne at any rate:
The promise of sexual favors in exchange for cash lands nearly a dozen men behind bars. It was part of an undercover operation that went down last Friday.

Boy, here's a crime you wouldn't get in the lah-tee-dah coastal enclaves:
Four people were arrested in Mercy County on Tuesday for stealing farm animals.
[. . .]
Mercer County Sheriff Jeff Grey said that his office had received several reports in the last few weeks indicating the theft of hogs from a farm on the Ohio-Indiana state line.
Oh, yes, tax me more, do it now, hit me harder!
A statewide poll of registered Indiana voters found that 69 percent feel it is unfair for local retailers that online retailers collect no sales tax. The survey was conducted by target point consulting for Indiana Merchants for Tax Fairness.
Depressing news, but not exactly a shock:
The American public's dependence on the federal government shot up 23% in just two years under President Obama, with 67 million now relying on some federal program, according to a newly released study by the Heritage Foundation.
If a stance change is purely a pander, the politician would be put in a position of having to publicly espouse a false belief while seeming to be sincere about it in public," said Nalder. "That sort of duplicity is undoubtedly psychologically taxing if the issue resonates with core values."
Sorry to tell you this, dog lovers, but:
Experts say that if all the world's cats suddenly died, things would quickly go to hell in a handbasket.
[. . .]
I don't have anything profound to say about it, but this milestone shouldn't go unnoticed:
This should be an interesting debate:
Along with his other problems, now-former Indiana Secretary of State Charlie White is a man who just doesn't know when to shut up:
White alleged he was far from the only elected official to use a disputed address on voter registration forms, telling Fox News that the local media do not report on the issue because "if you're rich and famous on either side of the aisle, they're never going to mention it."
This is a video of cats doing funny things. I have no particular reason to show it, but I finally have the capbility of embedding video with the new blog platform, and I want to test it. Watching it wouldn't be the worst three minutes you've ever frittered away.
Further proof that ballot access in Indiana is too difficult:
An Indiana elections official said Monday that GOP presidential contender Rick Santorum still lacks the signatures needed to make it onto the state's May primary ballot.
Hey, the courts have way too much time to spare and far too few cases to hear. Let's do something about that:
A fair question is raised here:
The New York Giants on Tuesday will be showered with confetti and greeted by throngs as they are feted with the city’s most storied honor: a parade through its Canyon of Heroes.
So sad. The greatest political document in the history of the world is getting less respect these days:
The Constitution has seen better days.
Indiana as a possible leader, fancy that:
This week's nominee for the public-relations-challenged sweepstakes:
A central Indiana prosecutor doesn't want to give a 10-year-old girl her piggy bank back.
The Reporter-Times of Martinsville reported that Morgan County Prosecutor Steve Sonnega has filed a motion asking a Superior Court judge in the central Indiana county to reverse his order to give the piggy bank back to the daughter of Russell Hill.
[. . .]
I'm shocked -- shocked and appalled, I tell you! -- to discover this:
Members of Congress may no longer be able to direct federal money to projects back home because of a moratorium on legislative earmarks, but that has not stopped them from trying.
