Have we all lost our minds??

My 10 year old is afraid he is going to get the swine flu, the Capital Improvment Board in Indy thinks we [as Colts season ticket holders and Indiana residents] need to pay a 10 percent ticket tax [among other taxs, including alcohol] because they are too &^%$ing stupid to manage their money and all of the Catholics are up in arms because Notre Dame has invited the President to speak at graduation and he said yes.

Let me handle these issue one at a time:

I understand the swine flu thing is serious; but scaring the bejeesus out of 4th graders isn't the way to handle it. Talk to them about hand washing at school and let their parents handle it. Really.

The CIB is in the hole and they think we should pay up. And I don't think so. I am done paying for that idiot mayor that Indianapolis elected and the whole bunch of morans we have representing us.

And, Notre Dame. What do you say there? The Capital of the Catholic Church in America has made a bold move and pissed some Catholics off. Let me start off by saying that I am Catholic, although I do not practice. I have attended a Lutheran Church [which is really Catholic Lite] for over 10 years. They have asked President Obama to speak at graduation--this is something they do with every President and he has accepted. They are also giving him an honorary
degree and THAT is where it gets a little touchy for the CC. In a nutshell, there is a document that says the CC can't give honors to people who oppose the views of the church and Obama does. So, speaking at graduation is one thing; the degree is another.

I, for one, think it is cool that the President always speaks at Notre Dame's graduation. And, if you are afraid of Obama, hearing his views is the best way to address your fear. Haven't you ever heard of keep your friends close and your enemies closer? If you want him to see your side of the coin, is shunning him the way to get him to do that? Not so much. People, treat the man with the respect that he deserves and show him why you believe your view is right. Don't make yourself look like an idiot.

So, graduation is on May 17 and Angels and Demons opens on the 15th--so it should be really fun around here. Add the track action to that, and you have another rip roaring May in Indy!!

BTW, track=Indianapolis Motor Speedway. You will hear alot about that. LOVE IT! I am a Hoosier after all!
