The Region is the land of fantastic and unmet infrastructure dreams.
As the Chicago Bears play the field over where to play, the jockeying for position brings to mind many long shots that played out in Northwest Indiana over the years — including the last time the Bears considered moving to Indiana.

Love thy neighbor.
It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

My Top 10 also.
The album "Twelve Dreams Of Dr Sardonicus" by Spirit was released on 27 Nov 1970. It failed to achieve large sales at the time, but has subsequently achieved cult status. The title came from a 1961 film of a man who had experimental treatments to restore his face. It's in my top 10 albums. #Spirit

BARTIROMO: All of this is part of an overall conspiracy the DOJ is trying to put together, starting with Russia collusion, the Mar-a-Lago raid. Was January 6 part of that?
COMER: I wonder who knew. Did Jamie Raskin, who's the most dishonest member of Congress, know & then go along with the coverup?

Trump's goons aren't done with Indiana senators.
Republicans in Indiana have for months been hearing conflicting messages: Demands to join the nationwide redistricting arms race from Trump’s administration and his allies – and nearly unanimous opposition to the idea from their constituents, even in deep-red districts that back the president.

It's so nice that old, red Indiana is a thorn in Trump's side.
Trump: "Mike Braun, perhaps, is not working the way he should to get the necessary Votes. Considering Mike wouldn’t be Governor without me (Not even close!), is disappointing! Any R that votes against this important redistricting, potentially having an impact on America itself, should be PRIMARIED"

Hey folks, as news of Watson's demise spreads, please don't set aside his weighty legacy of misogyny and racism. He was truly among the worst of us. www.vox.com/2019/1/15/18...
DNA scientist James Watson has a remarkably long history of sexist, racist public comments
“People say it would be terrible if we made all girls pretty,” he said in 2003. “I think it would be great.”
