Poetic justice

·

Point proven! It was almost all too fitting that the Eliot Spitzer prostitution scandal story broke just a week after my column “Oversexed.” Some could have even called it a “vast right-wing conspiracy.” This is becoming more normal in America: our culture destroying sex and leaders betraying their constituents. Leadership has gone wrong.

Remember the "W"

·

For a while I actually forgot about everyone’s favorite whipping boy. I got so caught up in the campaigns of Sens. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama and all the fun they bring that I forgot we had a president. I forgot that everyone’s favorite cowboy, President George W. Bush, or, as I often like to call him, “W,” still resides at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

Bad news for boozers

Students under 21 will soon think twice about trying to buy alcohol, whether they’re in line at Kilroy’s or checking out at Kroger. The Indiana General Assembly recently passed House Bill 1118, which states that minors will be charged with a Class C misdemeanor if they are caught showing false identification or lying about their age with the intention of buying alcohol, while they previously received only an infraction. Likewise, the penalty for adults who knowingly sell or even supply alcohol to minors will increase from a Class C to Class B misdemeanor.
