I'm as much of a warmonger as the next guy, but I'm not sure of the point of this:
Governor Mitch Daniels made his second visit to northeast Indiana in two days, this time to announce the new name for State Road 1.
SR 1, which runs from more than 100 miles through eastern Indiana, is now named the Purple Heart Memorial Highway.

Wow. An illegal immigrant actually gets punished for breaking the law:
A Mexican national living in Indiana who has repeatedly returned to the United States after being deported will serve 62 months in prison for illegally re-entering the United States.
A touching love story that's set in Indiana and Kentucky. What's not to like?
OWENSBORO, Ky. -- An Indiana woman charged with helping her boyfriend escape after a triple murder is asking a judge to dismiss charges against her by validating a marriage license.

Larry Cochran will never get the chance to face LARRY COCHRAN in court.
In a bizarre twisting of the notion of "capital" crimes, federal drug defendant Larry Cochran has apparently begun to annoy the judge presiding over his case.
I keep hoping a dead relative will speak to me from beyond the grave and tell me, oh, I don't know, where a large pot of money is hidden or what secret there is to life or what it's really like on the other side. If I ever do get contacted, it will probably be something like this, though:
WHITING - A businessman who said a dead relative told him in a dream to cook the world's largest pierogi believes he and a friend did just that Saturday at Pierogi Fest.
I hate to say I told you so, but, well, you know:
Darn. I was almost sure it would be me:
Indianapolis - Ball State University plans to name its new communication building after alumnus and late night talk show host David Letterman.
Gov. Daniels wants big, bold ideas from his commission on government change, and even a constitutional convention is on the table:
Let's see. We're too dependent on oil from the Mideast, so using Canadian oil would be a good thing. The lack of refining capacity is really hurting us, so a refinery in Indiana increasing its capacity would be a good thing. Creating jobs in Indiana and adding money to the state economy would be good things. So if BP wants to do all that at its Whiting refinery, and the state allows it, reasoning that, although more pollutants would be dumped into Lake Michigan, the refinery would still be within state and federal clean-water guidelines, how would Congress react?
When a police chase goes bad, it's always a big story, especially if an innocent bystander is hurt or killed. Such publicity has added to the pressure for various jurisdictions to tighten their chase policies. But there is another side to the story:
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (AP) - The two men in the silver Infiniti were pulled over only for having tinted windows - so when the driver hit the gas and fled, the state trooper had no choice but to let them speed away.
