Hoosiers continue to get disrespected by those in surrounding states, and no one even seems to care:
Gov. Mitch Daniels is expected to formally announce today that Indiana and Illinois will study construction of the Illiana Expressway.
Daniels is expected to discuss a "memorandum of understanding" between the states that will have Indiana take the lead on an initial corridor planning study for the route.
Why is it "Illiana" instead of "Indiois"? -- that's what I'd like to know. And why is it "Michiana" instead of "Indigan," and "Kentuckiana" instead of "Indiucky"? For some reason, there isn't even a name for the Indiana-Ohio border region. Maybe it's because "Ohio" doesn't blend well with others. We could work with "Hoosiers" and "Buckeyes," though I have to admit that "Hoobuck" doesn't sound any better than "Buckier." Ya'll come back now, hear?
