Aww, the poor babies:
One night in Adams Morgan, the sons and daughters of lawyers and corporate executives padded into a friend’s rowhouse for a kind of group therapy session about their families’ wealth.
They are young people who have inherited or stand to inherit big money, and they are spending [...]
Someone at the gym sent me one of the parody videos for the Shake Weight. No links here, as they’re about as difficult to find as Vi@gra spam, and I don’t want to be responsible for offending any of you. But it raises the question of what, exactly, the [...]
When we were young and the world was more moral, our games were more wholesome and entertaining. If we wanted to break the ice with members of the opposie sex, a simple straighforward game of strip poker was sufficient. We weren’t absolutely depraved, like these irresponsible young people today:
Allegations [...]
Those mean, stingy county officials just wouldn’t go along, and the mayor is sad, so unbearably sad:
“The dream of a joint solution to Fort Wayne’s and Allen County’s space needs through co-location just died,” a somber Mayor Tom Henry said in a hastily arranged news conference Thursday afternoon.
But who [...]
Got your “God in the Hoosier news” update here. A teenager in Terre Haute expressed dismay at what she perceived as an “intolerant” sign at a church:
Saagarika Coleman submitted a letter to the editor of the Tribune-Star (see page A8) stating that she was “hit with a wave of [...]
SATURDAY SENATE VOTE ON HEALTH REFORMS: The Senate version of sweeping health legislation would cover five million fewer people than a companion bill passed by the House, but it would cost less, in part because Senate Democratic leaders felt they had to win support from fiscally conservative members of their [...]
As noted earlier here, former Gov. Joe Kernan is returning to Vietnam for the first time since his release from a POW camp there. Guess old warriors can’t help the urge to revisit the battlegrounds of their youth:
It’s been 40 years since John Eckenrode was suspended from the [...]
Andy Barr from POLITICO was in Noblesville last night? Really?
Weekend Roundup....I went looking for a copy of Governor Sarah Palin book “Going Rogue” at the downtown Borders bookstore. I couldn’t find it. It wasn’t because they were sold out, but because I was looking in the fiction section.
More than 1,000 people gathered in Noblesville to see the former [...]

Excerpts from a long article by Justin Lahart in the WSJ on some amazing research...

Remember that 35% tariff President Obama imposed on tires imported from China this month?...Since the tariff announcement on September 11, U.S. tire wholesalers have been warning that their sales prices to retailers will increase by about 15% on average. [...]
But I think it's terrific that liberals are finally willing to start looking at outcomes to judge a system. I say we start right away with the public' [...]
(17) America's low ranking on international comparisons of infant mortality proves other countries' socialist health care systems are better than ours.
America has had a comparatively high infant mortality rate since we've been measuring these things, [...]
I love to see Malthusians gettin' a beatin' (with hat tip to and analysis by Sevens)...An eye-opening documentary called Not Evil Just Wrong: The True Cost of Global Warming Hysteria is being released this week by the Cornwall Alliance for the Stewardship of Creation—an outfit I endorse.
I dare say the film will be controversial because it [...]
The marriage equality drumbeat has rumbled on with news that several states will be attempting to re-examine their state constitutional amendments banning same-sex marriage and/or civil unions. Surprisingly, this hasn't received as much attention as I assumed it would in the LGBT blogosphere.
It’s been a while since I did one of these. Given all the traffic from Churubusco regarding a recent post, here’s one up in your town folks.

Um, What??? Oh wait, well if the UN says it's true...
Sarah Palin is in Indianapolis this evening and this morning there were at least 1,000 people standing in the parking lot in the rain waiting for her. This cartoon is not endorsing her. It's merely depicting what others are thinking.
“We are deeply sorry and [...]
