Unilateral disarmament might bring peace, but it might not be the peace desired:
Sen. Richard Lugar on Wednesday became one of the first Republicans to back Elena Kagan's confirmation to the Supreme Court.
[. . .]
He believes that in most cases, Congress should defer to a president's preference in nominations to appointed positions.
[. . .]
I applaud removing criminals from the street and all that, but perhaps police acted hastily here:
Officers discovered nearly 600 marijuana plants, 450 pounds of dried marijuana and 30 raccoon hides on Sunday at a home in rural Pulaski County.
[. . .]
In addition to the marijuana, officers found freezers in the residence with more than 30 untanned raccoon hides and carcasses.
A fascinating essay that begins with coyotes on the prowl and explores along the way the nature of statism and statists:
Those nefarious villains of the NCAA may be -- gasp! -- running an illegal lottery in Indiana:
MISSION CITY, KANSAS -- An NCAA ticket dispersal plan involving a lottery may violate laws in some states against gambling. A lawsuit alleging exactly that is headed for an Indiana court after a federal appeals court ruled the case had enough merit to garner a hearing.
Sometimes, when I see the word "compromise" thrown around, I'm not exactly clear on what is meant. This is one of those cases:
Proponents of banning smoking in Indianapolis bars are trying to revive a City-County Council debate over the issue by showing city leaders that voters support the cause.
This doesn't seem right:
Charges will not be filed against a University of Notre Dame hockey player suspected of supplying alcohol to underage students at a weekend party, according to a release sent out from the St. Joseph County prosecutor's office.
Today's "morons with guns" question: When it is OK to start shooting up the streets?
Police were searching for three gunmen who followed a vehicle home from a party on the Northwestside and peppered it with gunfire the whole way this morning, sending the 19-year-old driver to the hospital.
The barrage ended only after the victim's father came from his apartment and returned fire, forcing the assailants to leave.
A blow against censorship and for the First Amendment:
And they say family togetherness is dead:
Lebanon -- Three adults face possible charges in Boone County after police found them with a drunken teenager. Two of those arrested were the boy's mother and grandmother.
Officers were called Saturday to an apartment complex in Lebanon, where they found the 15-year-old "visibly intoxicated," according to Lebanon Police Lt. Brent Wheat.
The Evansville Courier & Press has the same problem I do in grasping the difference between textbooks and school bus rides:
Indiana law providing for a free public education grows curiouser and curiouser. How could a school bus ride be essential to a uniform system of public education, but textbooks are not?
