Jail to the chief

By Indira Dammu · Friday, April 27,2007 12 a.m.

“How can 59,054,087 people be so DUMB?” The Daily Mirror, a U.K. tabloid, asked that question of Americans on its cover after George W. Bush was re-elected in 2004. I wish I could answer it. At the time, it seemed that (apart from 49 percent of this country and the rest of the civilized world) American voters were in love with a man whose major accomplishments up until then included cheerleading in high school and steering an oil company toward bankruptcy.

By Rachel Fullmer · Friday, April 27,2007 12 a.m.

Though it’s nowhere near the appropriate time for me to officially announce which of the many fine potential presidential candidates I’ll endorse in 2008, there is one among the field that I continually support: Hillary Rodham Clinton. She’s cutthroat. She’s driven. She’s been my girl from day one. Hillary even outranks Nancy Pelosi and Ruth Bader Ginsburg when it comes to my personal holy political trinity. Idolatry, I know, but these three ladies are as fierce and as deserving of admiration.

In Us We (should) Trust

Friday, April 27,2007 12 a.m.

You may have started to notice Indiana license plates popping up with the words “In God We Trust” inscribed underneath a handsome Old Glory flapping in the wind. If you haven’t, and you own a vehicle, perhaps you need to stop in for a regular vision checkup before you get behind the wheel again: this plate is the Next Big Thing. Or perhaps it already is, given its stunning popularity which has made it the most widely sold plate in the state today. Since they were introduced at the beginning of this year more than half a million of these transcendental tags have been distributed.
