Solution in search of a problem:
(Indianapolis, Ind.) - Indiana lawmakers are again considering a constitutional amendment that would guarantee Hoosiers’ right to hunt.

I think the Washington Post's Dana Milbank has created a false choice here between "temperance" and "extremism":
For a dozen years, Paul Ryan and Mike Pence were Republican colleagues in the House of Representatives and fellow soldiers in the conservative movement. Last week, they parted ways: one toward temperance, the other toward extremism.
If you don't have the resources to fight back, it's easy to be bullied, and the NFL certainly knows how to do it:

New estimates from a Norwegian research project show meeting targets for minimizing global warming may be more achievable than previously thought.

Interesting article in The Los Angeles Times about how people change:
Glancing around his study on a recent afternoon, Harvard psychologist Daniel Gilbert's eyes came to rest on his collection of thousands of music CDs, acquired over many years at considerable expense.
"I don't listen to a lot of them anymore," he said. "I was certain I'd listen to Miles Davis until the day I died."
Told you so, told you so. But to those who did not care to be lectured about the dangers of dipping into the food chain for fuel fiascos, you enjoy that Super Bowl!
OK, this is really, really nitpicky. This headline about about a southern Indiana crime caught my eye:
