The Evansville Courier & Press has an article comparing the renovation of the Memorial Coliseum and the possible renovation of Roberts Stadium in Evansville:
First, they came for the athletes . . .
Cheerleaders, band members, ball players, kids on the speech and debate team - any student participating in extracurricular activities - would pee in a cup under a random drug testing plan being considered at Whitefish High School.
All morning long, people have been telling me this woke them up:
Dishes rattled and so did Fort Wayne residents' nerves this morning as the U.S. Geologic Survey reported that an earthquake with a magnitude of 5.4 - later downgraded to 5.2 - struck the Midwest around 5:37 a.m. today.
Cindy MCain has become the latest person to embarrass a presidential campaign. Evidently, she submitted a "family" recipe to a newspaper that actually turned out to be lifted from the Food Network:
Yeah, Obama sucked in the debate, but everybody who's pointing that out is missing the point that it doesn't matter:
Via Reason Online's Hit & Run, here's Rep. Barney Frank on his proposed marijuana decriminalization, sounding positively libertarian:
If it's everybody's, it's nobody's (public land). If everyone is responsible, no one is (it takes a village, liability lawsuits). If everyone is special, no one is (public education):
When Kyra Rogers was younger, she dreamed of being one of those students who had earned a 4.0 GPA - and the right to wear a white robe in the front row at Durango High School's graduation.
I would have said Evan Bayh is no Mike Pence, but he's sounding pretty good.
Here's Pence, responding to calls for him to back off from his no-pork pledge
Pence said this year he won't request money for projects in his Muncie-area district be included in next year's federal budget. Most spending bills include money for “earmarks,” which are specific projects identified by individual lawmakers.
A rap star's secrect past uncovered, and it turns out he was -- ready for it? -- not such a bad guy:
So there was no conviction. There was no prison term between 1999 and 2002. And he was never "facing 75 years," as the singer claimed in one videotaped interview.
Remember when stars tried to clean up their pasts?

President Bush demonstrates that his "compassionate conservative" instincts will lead him to disaster to the very end. He makes a totally unnecessary speech on climate change that doesn't advocate, thank God, the kinds of policies favored by all three presidential candidates that would lead to economic collapse:
My birth state takes a courageous stand against modernism:
FRANKFORT, Ky. -- The state that claims to produce the world's best bourbon has banned at least one way to consume it: vaporized for easy inhalation.
Gov. Steve Beshear signed a bill on Tuesday prohibiting the sale, purchase or use of alcohol vaporizers, which are devices that resemble asthma inhalers but produce intoxicating fumes.
Gary City Councilwoman Ragen Hatcher wants to require all department heads as well as new employees to live within the city limits. The Post-Tribune doesn't think this is such a hot idea:
While it would be nice for Gary employees to want to live in the city, it is important to understand why 20 percent of the Gary workers live outside the city.
The Wall Street Journal's James Taranto, in a recent critique of Barack Obama's "bitter clingers" remarks, wrote something that Indiana's gubernatorial candidates should heed:
Looks like my ride might be here:
KOKOMO, Ind. -- Reports of lights in the sky, crashes and vibrations on the ground befuddled residents and authorities in portions of Tipton and Howard counties late Wednesday night.
[. . .]
Indiana State Police and local sheriff's departments dispatched at least 50 emergency responders to the scene.
[. . .]
Ah, election polls -- gotta love 'em. Here's a story from yesterday:
New poll numbers show one candidate gaining ground. Senator Hillary Clinton has nearly doubled her lead over Democratic rival Barack Obama according to a new poll released by Survey U.S.A.
The former First Lady has a commanding 16 point lead over Obama.
Just two weeks ago, a poll conducted by the same group showed Clinton with a 9 point lead.
I'm Leo Morris, and I approved this post.
This outcome was to be expected, but it's a little surprising that the vote was 7-2 instead of 5-4:
The Supreme Court has upheld the three-drug lethal injection method used by the state of Kentucky in a 7-2 decision, clearing the way for a nationwide stay on executions to be lifted.
Greyhound is starting to look pretty good, huh?
Getting hitched may be the right move for Delta and Northwest. But for beleaguered air travelers, it could usher in an era of higher fares, fewer flights, more confusion at the airport and even more crowded planes.
