still seems to be hosed.
Can’t blog much today.
Too busy sorting fools at work. Just managed to get Rush turned on, haven’t seen a newspaper or a news website yet…
About time
someone pointed this out.
Blogger is acting strangely:
I make changes to the template, I upload them, Blogger says uploaded successfully…and nothing changes! Something must be wrong in Blogville. InstaPundit noted earlier that BlogSpot was down so maybe that has something to do with it…

Lilly Foundation to see you and raise you double:
The Lilly Foundation says it will double your donation to participating Indiana universities and colleges — my guess is because of budget shortfalls. How about a similar program for school districts all over the state that are getting screwed by the O’Bannon budget crisis?
I’d be a bit miffed too:
Indianapolis Star headline this morning: “IU dean upset over Hasbro’s goof on Pyle doll – Box with GI Joe figure of war correspondent says he graduated from Indiana State University.”
Now I didn’t go to school at the Big Campus in Bloomington, but I did major in History at the Similarly Large Campus in Indianapolis, and it does seem pretty stoopid that a big toy company’s research department couldn’t get something this simple correct. Indiana State University is smaller than Indiana University, boasts Larry Bird as its big contribution to professional sports (Bird quit IU because he thought Bobby Knight was too hard to play for), and is in the town of Terrible Huts…er, that is, Terre Haute.
Yawn.
Too tired to blog. Maybe later.
How do you balance the budget in Indiana?
“This is primarily a gambling bill,” Rep. Eric Turner, R-Gas City, told House lawmakers after distributing a list of 103 industry lobbyists. “Twenty-six of 77 lines in the synopsis of this bill have something to do with gambling.
“What message will we send to Hoosiers when we turn to gambling every time we need money?”
What message indeed.
(This is from the Indianapolis Star article linked below.)
I should probably note
that I don’t usually get to read the paper until after dinner (or even the next day). I telecommute so I’m rarely out of the house before noon, and I don’t subscribe to the paper (gives me a reason to leave the house for something:). Anyway that’s why it took me so long to tumble to this news story about the state budget. Mea culpa, caveat emptor, cave canem.
