Thank goodness Abraham Lincoln just grew up here, so Indiana can stay out of this little Kentucky-North Carolina tiff:
A group in Rutherford County, N.C., opened the Bostic (N.C.) Lincoln Center and is petitioning the federal government to run a DNA test of Lincoln's father, Thomas, to see if it matches some of the 16th president's saved genetic material.
The neighbors are complaining, which is why this is a story. But it seems sort of creative to me:
Jim Downs and Pat O'Brien said they did not want to cause a controversy when they covered their Merrillville front lawn with green indoor/outdoor carpeting.

After an alcohol-fueled "embarrassment" at least year's prom, Whiting High School students may face breath tests at prom Friday.
Whiting School Board members voted unanimously Monday night to authorize breath tests at school functions. The measure allows sobriety tests at a slate of school functions, but prom was clearly the board's concern.
Indiana's Voter ID law gets a 6-3 passing grade from the Supreme Court:
A majority of the justices were persuaded that combating voter fraud and preserving the integrity of the polling place were important enough objectives to justify the ID law.
Hillary Clinton in Indiana, dsiplaying as little understanding of the global economy as Barack Obama, or at least a similar unwillingness to talk honestly about it:
If Hillary Clinton loses Indiana, Will Evan Bayh also be a casualty? The Politico explores the issue:
This is disappointing, but it's no great shock, is it?
Do as I say, not as I do?
With his state's critical primary in two short weeks, Democratic Indiana Sen. Evan Bayh -- a strong supporter of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton -- has been leaning on the Hoosier State's freshman House members to stay on the sidelines rather than endorse Sen. Barack Obama.
Awww, the poor babies:

It's never cheap to go to a high school prom.
