Fishers, Indiana sounds like that town in "Footloose" that banned "scary things" like dancing.

Now, the Fishers authoritarians are banning "The Fault in the Stars."

Remember, back in the 1980s, many musicians became "Satanic" because it made the kids more interested in their music.

It also caused a lot of young people to move away from their limited opportunity small-towns for freedom in the cities.

A friend, a colleague and a trailblazing leader in the community passed away today.

She was someone who I respected, she blazed a trail for many of us, and she's going to be missed.

Born in 1900, fellow Ernie Pyle. Hard to overestimate his importance and the quality of his writing during World War 2. This is likely his most famous column. Pyle was killed by a sniper in 1945.

stopped by Indiana to let us know that he "chose the constitution over ." folks who remember him as governor will note that he did that in typical Pence fashion - at the very last second, after all the damage had been done, and purely in order to absolve himself of responsibility so that he could rescue his own political career.

Humorous and serious responses both quite welcome!

Tomorrow we're going to court in our suit against 's unconstitutional total ban on evidence-based care for youth.

Our clients are parents and providers.

The opposition is the state of and a gallery national anti- grifters cloaked in fake concern for children despite spending decades doing everything to hurt them and their families.

Children's lives hang on the outcome, while haters slap themselves on the back about owning libs.
