Welfare Drug Testing Withdrawn After Amended To Include Testing Lawmakers

A Republican member of the Indiana General Assembly withdrew his bill to create a pilot program for drug testing welfare applicants Friday after one of his Democratic colleagues amended the measure to require drug testing for lawmakers.

"There was an amendment offered today that required drug testing for legislators as well and it passed, which led me to have to then withdraw the bill," said Rep. Jud McMillin (R-Brookville), sponsor of the original welfare drug testing bill.

The Supreme Court ruled drug testing for political candidates unconstitutional in 1997, striking down a Georgia law. McMillin said he withdrew his bill so he could reintroduce it on Monday with a lawmaker drug testing provision that would pass constitutional muster.

Gingrich said what about President Reagan

Editor's note:  With Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney both running around trying to claim the mantle of Reagan, it appears Newt didn't hold Ronald Reagan in the high esteem he now claims.  And you Mitt supporters, do I really need to pull out your past statement on Reagan?  Anyway, the only thing Mitt and Newt agree with Reagan on is "self assured destruction".

Just like when Newt went to the House floor during the Gipper's second White House term and declared the president's Soviet policy a "failure." Here is what Gingrich said: "Measured against the scale and momentum of the Soviet empire's challenge, the Reagan administration has failed, is failing and without a dramatic, fundamental change in strategy will continue to fail. ... The burden of the failure frankly must be placed first upon President Reagan."

This was after Gingrich, as reported in the Congressional Record, had found Reagan responsible for our national "decay": "Beyond the obvious indicators of decay, the fact is that President Reagan has lost control of the national agenda." Students of Newt-speak will recognize that by "decay," Gingrich was generally referring to factors such as crime, illegitimate births and illiteracy.

Mourdock continues to mislead on Lugar's opposition to Obamacare

INDIANAPOLIS (Jan. 24, 2012) - State Treasurer Richard Mourdock continues to mislead voters on U.S. Sen. Dick Lugar's longtime opposition to Obamacare, Lugar campaign officials charged today.

David W. Willkie, political director for Friends of Dick Lugar, demanded "Mourdock retract a misleading survey his campaign recently submitted to the Tea Party of Hamilton County."

In the questionnaire, Mourdock inaccurately claims he is "the only candidate for U.S. Senate in Indiana who will support the lawsuit that Indiana and dozens of other states have filed to strike down Obamacare."

Willkie again pointed to Lugar's longtime opposition to Obamacare:

 Dick Lugar announced his early opposition to Obamacare in July of 2009, five months before its passage.

Peyton Manning: Irsay, not Grigson, will decide his future with Colts

Editor's note:  Great interview with Peyton Manning by the Indianapolis Star's Bob Kravitz:

Sorry, Rob Lowe.

Peyton Manning is not retiring, at least not any time soon. 

"I never thought 'Sodapop Curtis' would announce my retirement," Manning said, laughing, referring to Lowe’s character in the 1983 movie "The Outsiders." "I always thought I would be the one to announce it. I'm a huge fan of the movie, but that caught me way off guard. I can't explain it. I know he (Lowe) is a friend of Jim's (Irsay), and Jim sounded surprised."

So no, Manning isn't on the cusp of retirement. In a wide-ranging, exclusive interview with The Star on Monday night, the Colts' future Hall of Fame quarterback addressed a number of pressing topics, including his health, his sadness over the firings of several coaches, his minimal relationship with new general manager Ryan Grigson and the future.

Sen. Lugar flunks Obama and schools Mourdock

When a young state senator from neighbor Illinois asked Indiana Senator Dick Lugar for advice after he was elected to the United States Senator, Lugar did what all good Hoosier neighbors do, he offered he offered to share a cup of coffee.

During his years of service to Indiana, Lugar has spent more time than most political leaders with tens of thousands of Hoosier students and interns. He has embraced the careers of Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels and Chief Justice Randy Shepherd. Thousands of women nurtured by Lugar’s leadership initiatives, and minorities through his scholarship program have benefited from Lugar’s commitment to teach.

Teachers know that some students just don’t get it. After spending millions of dollars in Indiana in 2008 by claiming Lugar was his mentor and to vote for the first Democrat presidential candidate to win since 1964, President Obama has proven himself to be a failure by Lugar’s standards.
On the control of weapons of mass destruction – nuclear, chemical and biological – the Obama Administration acted on Lugar’s concerns, but not with the urgency he hoped Obama had learned on his trip to Russia with Lugar in 2006.
