So the gun owner was within the law, but people were upset by his actions so he's the problem?
EVANSVILLE, Ind. (AP) — Police and a gun-rights expert say a man who caused a commotion by carrying a holstered handgun on his hip at Evansville's zoo was within his rights under Indiana law, which now largely prohibits local governments from limiting gun possession.
Another analog stalwart is succumbing to the digital age:
Motorists' bane, magnet for thieves, and memorialized in the Beatles' “Lovely Rita,” the diminutive parking meter has led an outsize life. But its days in New York City are about to expire.
A growing number of Hoosier jurisdictions have been saying "Nuts!" to the state legislators who stupidly decided that unopposed candidates shouldn't be on election ballots. Now add Fort Wayne to the list:
OMG, Sarah Palin snorted cocaine!
Hey, kids, better load up on those fries while they're still legal:
Michelle Obama said Thursday that a pledge by the Olive Garden and Red Lobster restaurants and its sister chains to serve healthier meals is a "breakthrough moment" for the industry.
How magnanimous of the state:
The US poker players have been gravely affected by the Black Friday incident which took place in April, cutting off many spectacular poker tourney offers. Replacing them, is a tiny home game which proves to be a decent alternative and the Indiana Government has agreed to let go these small games and catch hold of many big gambling concerns instead.
Hot news on the poverty front:
Indiana has outshone its neighbors in keeping and attracting jobs, but Census Bureau figures released Tuesday showed that more Hoosiers are slipping into poverty.
Indiana's poverty rate in 2010 climbed to 16.3 percent -- higher than the national average of 15.1 percent and putting the state in a tie for 15th in the nation with California and Oklahoma. Indiana had a poverty rate of 16.1 percent in 2009.
I will be a good little freshman and not say hurtful things that might upset the delicate sensibilities of my fellow students:
Harvard College's Class of 2015 found something unprecedented awaiting their arrival on campus: an ideological pledge. It was framed as a request for allegiance to certain social and political principles. No such request had been made of Harvard students since the college's founding by Puritans in 1636.
I'm not sure if this is a vauable innovation in the political process or a further coarsening of our public life, but it is at least mighty interesting:
Democrats and Republicans in Allen County have unveiled new attack websites targeting the opposition's candidate in the Fort Wayne Mayor's race.
