I ask you, ladies, is this nerdy looking guy the type you get all hot over? Maybe Kissinger was right, and power is the ultimate aphrodisiac, because he surely does seem to do OK in the romance department.

I hope Dutch and Maggie don't see this. They're sensitive creatures, and discovering they're not adored could send them into a funk for a week:
Clearly, there are dog people and there are cat people. But it's not much of a contest: 74 percent of people like dogs a lot, and only 41 percent like cats a lot.
We should all apologize to Janet Napolitano -- our anti-terrorism efforts are still working!
Kabul, Afghanistan (CNN) -- Fourteen suspected terrorists died Tuesday night when the bus they rigged with explosives blew up prematurely, police said.
Whoever said it is better to be lucky than good could have been talking about our homeland security, yes?
As a good free-market capitalist, I support the right of businesses to advertise however they want to, wherever they can. But I do get a little tired of being constantly prodded to Buy this! and Try that! and Save! Save! Save! and Check out this bargain! every minute of every day no matter where I go or what I do.
We've all heard about parents who try to ease their children into alcohol by supervising their parties and monitoring their drinking. Somebody usually tries to make the argument for that practice by pointing out that in France, after all, kids even drink wine at the dinner table. But a story like this is so creepy that it knocks all the props out from under that position:
2008, candidate Barack Obama on health care reform:
"We'll have the negotiations televised on C-SPAN, so the people can see who is making arguments on behalf of their constituents and who is making arguments on behalf of the drug companies or the insurance companies."
This won't add any clarity to the often incoherent abortion debate:
Danielle Brookshire Steinberger already had her infant's safety seat in the car when she was hit head-on by another vehicle on New Year's Eve 2007.
If baby Drew had died in his car seat instead of in his mother's womb, his death could have been a crime.
Sometimes it seems every educator in Indiana is salivating over the possibility of getting some of the $250 million Indiana might get from President Obama's "Race to the Top" program. But they're showing a modicum of common sense in Northwest Allen County Schools, where the board signed a "memorandum of understanding" saying the district is only possibly interested in receiving some of the funds.
Yesterday, I chided a professor who used the "between a rock and a hard place" phrase for creating a false dichotomy. But that difficult either/or choice does actually present itself from time to time, for example in the case of Derrick Dausman:
A mentally disabled man facing child molestation charges has been released from an Indiana state hospital to a group home even though the state says he is too dangerous to live free in the community.
Here's what seems to be an unprecedented move:
Muncie City Council delivered a happy New Year's gift for the roughly 360 people in the Brewington Woods neighborhood and a section of the Halteman Village addition.
Mull this over:
A Mexican-born Indiana man is appealing his conviction on drug charges, saying he didn't fully understand a plea agreement due to a language barrier.
[. . .]
He was initially sentenced to consecutive sentences totaling 50 years, but that was later reduced to concurrent sentences of 30 years.
The Indiana Court of Appeals upheld his conviction in August.
A know-it-all sports writer for The New York Times lectures Colts fans "furious that their beloved organization had given up on a chance at a perfect season" and tells us to "get over it," by which he means we should quit our "sanctimonious tirades about the loss of integrity," which makes the decision trump Bill Belichick's decision to go for it on fourth-and-2 as the most hotly debated coaching strategy of the 21st century:
The good news for Hoosiers about the General Assembly session starting tomorrow is that legislators should be able to do only minimal harm, since they can't really afford to do much this year. Of course they'll keep trying:
Indiana lawmakers know they have no new money to spend during the legislative session opening Tuesday.
So James Cameron now has two $1 billion movies. I saw the first one, which was supposed to be this magic combination of chick flick and guy movie, but my friend (a chick) and I (a guy) both had the same reaction: Will you please stop with the schmaltz and just sink the damn ship already!!?!??
This just has to be one of those "something else is going on here we can't decipher from the facts given" cases, because it doesn't make any sense as presented.
What's that you say? You don't think this country is as sharply divided as all the pundits and politicians say?
Criminal genius of the week:
Fisher residents are facing an interesting decision:
City or town?
Fishers residents will decide in May.
It's that wonderful time of the year when we get to decide on words and phrases, such as "wonderful time of the year," that should be banned forever:
In its annual effort to protect the Queen's English, a Michigan university is insisting that "shovel ready" be buried, "tweet" be tossed and all "czars" be banished.
Sheena Kiska lived in an apartment in Bristol, Ind., with her two young children. It was burglarized, and she wanted to move out, but the manager wouldn't let her out of her lease without paying three months rent, which would have been $2,500. So she stayed, and 30 days later, on March 18, 2008, there was another intruder, who beat and stabbed her to death.
Now, a Hoosier lawmaker, Democrat Craig Fry of Misawaka, wants to take some corrective action:
