IS IT TRUE March 29, 2013
IS IT TRUE the City County Observer would like to wish our readers of the Christian faith a Happy Easter and our readers of Jewish faith a great Passover?…the moral codes which are good ways to live among our fellow human beings have their foundations among people of faith?…this will not only be a good weekend for watching basketball it will be a good weekend for self reflection?…we hope all of our readers regardless of their personal choices with respect to faith will be a little bit better as people come Monday?
IS IT TRUE there is no joy across the Hoosier state this morning as the Indiana University Hoosiers ran up against a buzz saw Big East defense last night in the East Regional in Washington DC?…the Syracuse Orange came out with a pressure 2-3 zone that shut down the IU offense barely allowing 50 points?…the Orange defense looked so much like Wisconsin that viewers wearing cream and crimson were concerned right from the start?…the Syracuse win set up an all Big East regional final for Saturday?…this was the same Syracuse that was humbled by Louisville in the Big East championship by 17 points after outscoring the Orange by 30 points in the second half?…the Cardinals put 56 points on this Syracuse defense in one half of basketball?…we should not be too surprised to find a Louisville vs. Syracuse rematch if the Orange continue to play like they did last night?…in other basketball news the Wichita State Shockers that lost two times to the UE Aces this year have advanced to the Elite Eight and can move on to the Final Four with a victory over Ohio State that pulled their neck out of a noose with a last second three point shot for the second time this week?
IS IT TRUE that the Mole Nation still reports that the cemeteries managed by the City of Evansville are still in shabby condition?…the City may not have enough money to hire people to mow regularly or set up overturned tombstones but they have plenty of money to advertise their graveyard services in local mainstream media?…in a short two months it will be Memorial Day?…we hope but know better than to have expectations that the Evansville public cemeteries will be respectfully maintained as they have been paid to be through their perpetual care agreement?
IS IT TRUE the Indiana Senate is on the warpath against that wacky weed formally known as marijuana?…sometimes you just have to wonder if our elected officials smoke the wacky weed before deciding what threats to life and limb they choose to protect us from?…when other parts of the country are finally decriminalizing marijuana the Neanderthals of Indiana are wanting to take us back to the stupidity of the 50’s when shows like “reefer madness†were made by the federal government to spread false propaganda about marijuana?…if Indiana is going to treat casual marijuana use as a capital crime then Hoosiers had better be ready to pony up and pay for lots of new jails to house people who are more of a threat to a bag of Cheetohs that they will ever be to society?…sometimes it seems like Indiana is working hard to become like Alabama was in the 1950’s?…if our high brow Senators want to attack a drug that is doing lots of damage they need to spend their time on the still growing meth problem?…meth is the real problem in Indiana and weed is not really much of a threat to society anywhere?
