Spirits permeate our culture. We flatter a woman by calling her a goddess, a man by calling him an ‘Adonis.’ Describe being stuck in an elevator as ‘hell,’ and you’ve just evoked Hel, the Norse guardian of the realm of death. ‘Nemesis’ is named for the Greek goddess of justice and vengeance. An aphrodisiac evokes the power of Aphrodite, the goddess of love and sex. And ‘frickin” is not a substitute for a stronger obscenity, it’s the name of another Norse goddess spelled Frika.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND. – On Thursday evening, former NFL quarterback Peyton Manning will host the 15th annual Celebration of Caring Gala in Indianapolis, where he will announce a major fundraising campaign to benefit Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital at Ascension St. Vincent.
Manning will serve as the Chair for the Care for Tomorrow campaign, which furthers his mission to help children in Indiana receive world-class healthcare.
——————————————————————————————————————-
VIDEO/B-ROLL WILL BE AVAILABLE BY 7 P.M. 3/2/23 Click here to access the video from the 2023 “Celebration of Caring “Gala, as well as SOTs from Peyton Manning, Ascension St. Vincent CEO Jonathan Nalli, True Hero Award Recipient Reese Sollman, and others attending
pediatric patients.
——————————————————————————————————————-
Manning’s partnership with Ascension St. Vincent and its children’s hospital began in 1998 and expanded in 2007 when St. Vincent Children’s Hospital was renamed after the former Colts and Broncos
quarterback. Over the past decade, the Manning family has helped the gala raise more than $14 million for the children’s hospital.
The “Care for Tomorrow” Campaign
The Care For Tomorrow campaign was created to respond to maternal and infant health challenges we face in Indiana by enabling care for both mothers and infants in a new, combined facility – the Women
and Children’s Tower. It will be the largest fundraising campaign in the history of the Ascension St. Vincent Foundation.
The Tower will be attached to Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital and will feature one of the largest Neonatal Intensive Care Units in Indiana with 109 private rooms and central Indiana’s first ‘couplet’ rooms to allow both moms and infants to receive treatment in the same room. In a state with some of the highest maternal and infant mortality rates in the nation, the Women and Children’s Tower will improve outcomes for moms and babies in need of life-saving care. This tower is one of the three construction projects announced in May of 2021, part of a $325 million expansion.
The campaign is already off to a great start thanks to generous early donors including Peyton and Ashley Manning, The Lucas Family, Jim Irsay & the Indianapolis Colts, Pat McAfee, Jacqueline and David Simon, and more.
Additional support is needed to create a new pediatric nurse navigator program and support existing programs like Healing Arts, the teacher program, and the Child Life team, all of which help children and
families cope with the challenges of hospitalization. Specialized programs like these rely on philanthropy to exist.
In addition to Peyton Manning, the Care for Tomorrow Campaign Committee includes longtime healthcare leaders and providers, executives, community leaders, and talented philanthropists. Their dedication will benefit generations of Hoosier families.

The Celebration of Caring Gala
Nearly 1,000 guests are expected to attend the Celebration of Caring Gala at the JW Marriott Indianapolis Thursday evening. The event features a concert by award-winning country music star Jordan Davis as well as a live and silent auction. Past and current Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital patients and families will also attend, including 4-year-old 2023 True Hero award recipient Reese Sollman.
In September 2019, Reese was admitted to Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital and diagnosed with Larsen syndrome – an extremely rare disorder that impacts bone development. Now, Reese works with five pediatric specialists to receive the best treatment possible for the years to come. Reese represents one of many children who will benefit from the services, programs, and resources made possible through the “Care for Tomorrow” Campaign for the Women & Children’s Tower at Ascension St. Vincent.
How to Help-Now through March 31, the first $100,000 contributed to the Care for Tomorrow campaign will be 2matched dollar-for-dollar by Lucas Oil Products. This means that donations will go twice as far, having an even greater impact on the community and future patients and families.
It’s hard to feel sorry for “Dilbert†creator Scott Adams.
No, that’s not correct.
It’s impossible to feel sorry for him.
Adams said something that was both mean and dumb. Saying it cost him a great deal.
Now, he’s trying to present himself as a martyr for the First Amendment and free speech.
He’s not.
Here’s what happened:
On Feb. 22 during his nightly podcast and YouTube live stream, Adams said he wanted to talk about what he called a “provocative†new Rasmussen poll.
“They said, ‘Do you agree with or disagree with the statement “It’s OK to be whiteâ€?’†Adams told his audience. “That was an actual question.â€
Adams continued: “47 percent of Black respondents were not willing to say it’s OK to be white. That’s actually—that’s, like, a real poll.â€
Uh, no.
The integrity of Rasmussen polls long has been questioned—largely because those polls feature leading questions designed to provide click bait for right-leaning citizens. Their methodology also is suspect.
Counting on a Rasmussen poll to make a credible argument in the public sphere is a bit like citing “Star Wars†as a source in a scholarly research paper on astronomy. Doing so might liven up the proceedings but it’s not likely to encourage anyone to take you or your argument seriously.
That’s even more true if you fudge the numbers.
The Rasmussen poll in question included 1,000 people, 130 of whom were Black. Of those 130, 34—yes, a whopping 34—said they disagreed or strongly disagreed with the statement that it was okay to be white.
That works out to about 26 percent, not 47 percent.
The fact that he inflated the percentage by including those who said “not sure†didn’t deter Adams.
“If nearly half of all Blacks are not OK with white people—according to this poll, not according to me,†he said, “that’s a hate group.â€
He went on to say that white people should “get the hell away from Black people.â€
It didn’t take long for what Adams was shoveling to hit the fan.
Newspaper after newspaper dropped his comic strip. Soon, his syndicate did and the publisher he had for a book dropped him, too.
Within days of his rant, Adams’ audience had shrunk so much its members could fit comfortably in a phone booth.
What followed was predictable.
The speed with which right-wing blowhards transform themselves from chest-thumping provocateurs into whiny self-proclaimed victims can be breathtaking. Adams began to complain that he had been cancelled because of concerns about political correctness while asserting at the same time that no one disagreed with him.
That explains how Adams got himself into this fix.
He really isn’t that bright and just doesn’t get it.
If your employer fires you and all your clients cut ties with you, they’re saying they disagree with you. They disagree with you so much that they no longer want to be associated with you.
Adams suffers from the same misapprehension that many self-pitying conservatives do. He thinks that the First Amendment protects not just his right to say whatever dumb or mean thing occurs to him but that it also insulates him from having people notice that he’s said something dumb or mean, much less react to it.
He’s right about the first part.
He is allowed to say whatever stupid or ugly thing he wants to, so long as it is not, for example, libelous.
But the First Amendment does not spare Adams or anyone else from facing the consequences of saying something racist or deliberately hurtful. The same free speech rights that allow Adams to say things that anger other people also allows those other people to tell him he’s wrong or that he’s a jerk.
Similarly, when a newspaper or a syndicate decides not to publish him because he’s said something offensive, that newspaper or syndicate is exercising its First Amendment rights, too. Just as the law cannot stop us from saying things we wish to say, it also cannot compel us to say things we don’t wish to say. No private entity can be forced to publish something with which it disagrees or finds abhorrent.
Scott Adams is no victim of political correctness.
He said something disagreeable and many, many, many free people disagreed.
That’s how freedom works.
So, if he’s a victim of anything, he’s a victim of his own cruel stupidity.

Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb delivers his State of the State address virtually, in Indianapolis
State of the State, Indianapolis, United States - 19 Jan 2021
Indianapolis, IN – Governor Eric J. Holcomb today announced he directed his administration to contract with 3rd party provider Pace Labs to immediately conduct testing of the hazardous materials being shipped from the East Palestine train derailment to an Indiana facility. Gov. Holcomb offered the following statement:
“Effective immediately, I have directed our administration to contract with a nationally recognized
laboratory to begin rigorous 3rd party testing for dangerous levels of dioxins on the material being transported to the Roachdale facility from the East Palestine train spill.
As I indicated in an earlier statement, it was extremely disappointing to learn through a press conference held on Monday, Feb. 27, 2023, confirming that the EPA had chosen Indiana as a location to deposit and remediate the waste from East Palestine, Ohio. This was made after our administration directly conveyed that the materials should go to the nearest facilities, not moved from the far eastern side of Ohio to the far western side of Indiana. As you can expect, I expressed as much to the EPA administrator when we spoke on the phone Tuesday, Feb. 28.
All of us can agree that we should do everything within our control to provide assurance to our communities. This testing is the next necessary step. Since making this decision, we have informed the EPA and the site operator urging them to coordinate closely with this 3rd party laboratory to carry out this important testing. Sampling is scheduled to begin tomorrow, Friday, March 3,†Gov. Holcomb said.
