Looks like Indiana is getting in on the Reality TV craze:
A former Indiana journalist has created a TV show that will give viewers a look into the world of the juvenile justice system.The eight-week reality series called "M-T-V-Juvies" will reveal the stories and daily lives of 16 teens in Indiana's Lake County Juvenile Center.
Let me see if I have this straight. The liquor wholesalers are afraid the Big Boxes could get wine cheap and sell it cheap. And they have the clout to persuade the General Assembly to prevent that possibility by enacting rules that will drive many small wineries out of business.

Democratic City Councilman Tom Hayhurst officially kicked off his challenge of 3rd District Rep. Mark Souder yesterday (he will have Primary opposition, but that's a mere technicality).

Some people will say "In God We Trust" license plates would violate the separation of church and state, and others will argue that they will help express religious values in a culture increasingly hostile to them.

I'm afraid I agree with the grocery & convenience store guy on this one:

Speaking of changes in the way we learn things, this is just so cool:
