Are you sitting down? This might shock you. Sen. Lugar likes John McCain!
“I've had a very good association with Senator McCain in the U.S. Senate for over two decades,” Sen. Lugar said. “I've found him to be an independent spirit, a courageous person, a person who is outspoken. He's described frequently in these terms, but I've had the privilege of seeing it firsthand.”
The right sentence, self-administered:
An illegal immigrant serving five life terms for the strangling deaths of his wife, three young daughters and a neighborhood girl apparently took his own life Thursday by hanging himself, authorities said.
It's about damn time:
Mo-ped operators in Indiana would need a valid driver's license and have to get the motorized scooters insured under legislation state Sen. Ron Alting plans to propose in the upcoming General Assembly session.
Three cheers for Rep. Alting. Mo-peds are already a danger on the road. With even more expected to be out there because of gas prices, now is a good time to try to reduce the menace.
Barack Obama got off a funny line in Indianapolis . . .
Obama remembered the famous line that Ronald Reagan used to attack Jimmy Carter, suggesting Americans ask, "are you better off than you were four years ago?" Obama said, "At the pace we are going, you are going to have to ask if you are better off than you were 4 weeks ago."
Hey, we're used to flying out of Indy to get the lower air fares, so let's all hop in our cars and drive there to get the cheap stuff!
Gas prices are slipping nationally and statewide, but drivers at Indianapolis filling stations are getting it cheaper than most places.
Ball State Unviersity has risent several spots on a national surven ranking sexual health:
Health educator Lisa Thomason said the representative asked Bullis if the university provided free contraceptives, if it had sexual health programs, including peer education, if it had a sexual health awareness week and if it provided checks for sexually transmitted diseases.
Here's a novel idea:
JASPER, Ind. — Two challengers for an Indiana congressional seat have agreed to be hooked up to lie detectors during a debate, but an official with the incumbent's party dismisses the idea as "bizarre."
In my effort to keep you up on the latest trends, I note that senior citizens turned out at the fairgrounds to get "flu shots and ham and beans" during the annual Putnam County Senior Health Fair. But those who live in Casselberry, Fla., have a more exotic option:
A strip club offered free flu shots on Tuesday to Casselberry residents who are at least 55 years old.
I feel the need to be amused or intrigued by all things not related to Worldwide Economic Meltdown Panic, so this story caught my eye:
Police are looking for a man who exposed himself on several occasions at a convenience store on Indianapolis' south side and may be involved in other flashing incidents in the area.
Not to be outdone by members of Congress, who are trying to break into double-digit approval ratings by grilling greedy Wall Street tycoons, some members of the General Assembly are vowing to "get answers" at a hearing on Indiana gasoline prices. The Richmond Palladium-Item is not amused:
