Is this the kind of story that makes you go, "Awwww"?
An awesome Indiana police officer is making sure that no one gets left behind -- not even stuffed members of the family.

States took unprecedented action this year to tighten gun laws after last year’s mass shooting at a Connecticut school, two gun control groups said Monday.
Indiana, however, was among the states that moved in the opposite direction, according to a report released by the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence and the Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence.
Just as we've suspected, the NSA isn't the only agency we have to worry about when it comes to snooping:
This seems fairly common-sensical:
We frequently hear lawmakers talking about the risk of getting too far ahead of their constituents. Is there an equal danger of lagging too far behind their constituents?
Legislators may balk at the idea of easing the penalties for marijuana, but a new poll shows a majority of Hoosiers support legalizing the drug and taxing it like alcohol and tobacco.
An interesting piece of sociological research:
Using surveys, social networks, pornographic searches and dating sites, I recently studied evidence on the number of gay men. The data used in this analysis is available in highly aggregated form only and can be downloaded from publicly accessible sites. While none of these data sources are ideal, they combine to tell a consistent story.
You know, if Daily Kos is worried, I should be ecstatic:
Seems like the Democrats have their own little internal battle going, which I suspect will not get nearly the coverage the Republican one has gotten:
Pat Robertson is getting stranger and stranger:
Televangelist Pat Robertson on Wednesday struggled to understand why homosexuality was no longer considered a mental illness, but said that he approved of gender reassignment surgery.
A diversion for the easily amused:
It’s a leak Barbara Walters doesn’t want you to know about.

It's always gratifying to see the politically correct crowd hoisted with its own petard:
A bulletin board meant to provoke discussions of racial stereotypes has been removed Monday night from an Indiana University residence hall after generating outrage on social media.
The Foster Residence Center display featured an African-American in a Santa suit and the question, "Can Santa Claus be a black man?"
When I was in high school, Mickey D's was the second place I worked. I wasn't aware of anything called the "minimum wage," but I was smart enough to know I was just making chump change. But chumps back then took the change and were glad to get it, because that wasn't the job we intended to spend a lifetime in. Nowadays, the fast food workers are demanding a "living wage" in the form of a doubling of the minimum:
Obamacare is just one in a long list of big-government programs that don't work as advertised:
Peggy Noonan on the "low information leadership" of the Obama team:
Why the GOP base is getting more and more fed up with establishment Republicans:
House Speaker John Boehner has hired a high-profile immigration adviser, his office announced Tuesday, a surprising move that pro-reform and anti-reform advocates alike interpreted as a step toward reform.
USA Today reports, as if it's a bad thing, that Congress has passed fewer laws this year than at any point in the past 66 years. But the proper attitude about that is:
Given the thousands of laws and hundreds of thousands of regulations on the books already, why exactly should we egging Congress on further? There's certainly been no shortage of landmark legislation that has passed this century, almost all of it awful from virtually any perspective.
This is something I won't fault President Obama for:
“With the power vested in me, I grant Popcorn full reprieve from a future of stuffing and cranberry sauce.” — President Obama, Wednesday
How often does anybody really need something delivered this quickly?
On most days, it is possible to get a laugh or two just by checking out the latest politically correct crapola at the Huffington Post. Here's a beaut:
