Politics and other nightmares

Hey, that's the ticket. Not:

War? What war?

I would never torture a puppy or strike a kitty or even say an unkind word to a hamster. But call me a heartless animal abuser, I've never really given much thought to the welfare of goldfish:

Just sayin':

The White House drug czar is trying to make a case for correlation that just isn't there:

A new federal report has found that more than two-thirds of Indianapolis men arrested last year were under the influence of at least one illegal drug.

Wednesday's National Drug Control Policy report showed that 69 percent of Indianapolis men arrested in 2010 tested positive for at least one drug at the time of their arrest.

What is there to say? This is disappointing but not really surprising:

How is it that the party loudly proclaiming how the government shouldn't "pick winners and losers" could only manage to get 34 senators to oppose one of the most egregious examples of federal industrial policy?

Every city needs a theme song, don't you think? Fort Wayne's should be Vince Gill's modern country classic, "One More Last Chance," which contains the memorable refrain: "Give me one more last chance/Before you say we're through/I know I drive you crazy baby/It's the best I can do." We are talking, of course, about the Harrison Square project:

"Obama sucks."

"Obama sucks."

"Obama sucks."

"Obama sucks."

"Obama sucks."

"Obama sucks."

"Obama sucks."

Heck of a debate.

Democrats and Republicans must be quaking in their boots, huh?

Though the Indiana Libertarian Party has not landed a candidate for the 2012 governor's campaign, it has identified an opening to influence the race.

My, my, how things change:

Vietnam has called on the US and other nations to help resolve the escalating territorial disputes in the resource-rich South China Sea, in a move likely to anger Beijing, which opposes what it sees as outside interference.
