I hate Mourdock. I live in Indianapolis and I see his damn signs everywhere. I have to resist the urge to deface all the signs in my neighborhood.

One of my favorite memories is seeing Philip Glass and the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra. He did a Q&A before the show and it was wonderful to be in the same room as him. I bet he has lots of crazy groupies like me.

Indianapolis, Indiana: Where the fun never STOPS!!!!!!!!!!! (Or starts...)

Does anyone else want to see a vid of Jigga playing basketball?


That sounds like a clever ruse to get me to self post! Come to Indianapolis, I played basketball through high school and it's still the sport of choice among friends (when we're not Frisbee golfing)

Sorry for the initial crappy quality. I had been trying to find a video, scrambling around on the internet. People were calling me, telling me to look on the TV and stuff. I live in Indianapolis and had a few friends and cousins at the fair. Thanks for fixing it and @Hybrid <3

I freakin love it. And I'm from Indianapolis!

My name is Laura. I have a little boy named Brennan who is just over a month old. My boyfriend and I have been together for two years come November. We work fast!

I have a wonderful kitty named Gojira who is part lynx and has a very squishy nub tail--everyone asks when he lost the rest of his tail, but he never had a long tail to begin with! He's the light of my life and I consider him my first born son. Yeah, I know. I'm cat lady material. I also have a part husky, part boxer dog named Stanley Cup. Yes, we are hockey fans! My boyfriend has limited the amount of pets I can have or else I'd fill the house with reptiles and rescued animals. I had an opossum who killed himself. He crawled into the back of my mini-fridge. I've also had a raccoon. I've had a chipmunk. I've had bunnies, snakes, guinea pigs, hamsters, geckos, lizards of many creeds and colors, birds, you name it! I've tried to save so many birds and rodents who my parent's cats mangled. I feed all the stray animals in my neighborhood, including coyotes, to the chagrin of my neighbors. >:]

I love love LOVE to read.

I live in Indianapolis, Indiana. Not a bad town by any means. Just boring. But clean! I live on the far east side at the edge of the town, where cornfields and countryside begin.

I have a deep, abiding love of video games. I play WoW, although my raid members are upset with me because I haven't logged on since my son was born. Hard to commit when you have a little human completely dependent on you.

I work for my mother, who owns an insurance agency. I do everything I can to keep her organized.

I can't think of anything else to add, so that sums it up!

I met my baby daddy on the internet. On World of Warcraft, no less. My previous two boyfriends, both relationships spanning years, were met on the internet, as well. I've met many people, with no incident.
Meeting people from teh_internet is like a blind date with a lot more investment. With a blind date, you can just go home, but when you fly or drive out to meet someone, you're kind of stuck. There's inherent risk with both scenarios..
On that note, I'd really like to go to a Sift Up, sometime. I'm in Indianapolis. Eh? Anyone? Mid-West Sift up??

Colts suck...eat Bolt

"The Vendor Client Relationship" video was created by Indianapolis-based video and post-production company, Scofield Editorial. The video that puts a comedic spin on business relationships has been viewed by more than half a million viewers - www.vendorclientvideo.com.

I'd like to point out, after the fact, that Obama surprisingly won Indiana by a narrow margin. Letterman was born in Indiana and got his television start as a weatherman in Indianapolis.

Oh boy, I wish I could come.. Anything to get away from my mom's cooking.

I'm in Indianapolis. Just a little too far, hehehe.

MarineGunrock is wrong about everything he said except possibly that this might be a technically legal checkpoint. Clearly, the people were seized and searched without a warrant issued with probably cause. And the 4th Amendment has EVERYTHING to do with being able to go where you want without fear of being stopped by the police; the Supreme Court decided in Katz v. US that the 4th Amendment protects people, not places, whenever there is a reasonable expectation of privacy.

But the supreme court has also carved out an exception for drunk driving and road safety checkpoints in Michigan State Police v. Sitz, where the checkpoint relates to issues pertaining to safe use of the roads on which the stopped motorist was driving. This is to be distinguished from City of Indianapolis v. Edmond, where the Supreme Court ruled checkpoints unrelated to road safety are NOT constitutional; that is, where the checkpoint is just a fishing expedition to attempt to gather evidence of ordinary criminal wrongdoing, such as pirated music videos, unlicensed software, drugs, etc.

So this may fall into the category of a legal checkpoint from a federal 4th amendment point of view, but only if the specific State (or D of C) has not augmented protections over those decided by the Supreme Court.
Certainly the point that the Police State is coming via the gradual encroachment on and erosion of civil liberties is well taken, and is the main thrust of this video. I sincerely feel that people that don't like the American Constitution and don't value the inalienable rights that it protects and that so many have fought for in so many wars in the last 200 years (even if a majority want to deny them) should move to a country where it is legal to just stop people on the street without suspicion or cause.

Kurt Vonnegut (RIP) said the following:

And now I want to tell you about my late Uncle Alex. He was my father’s kid brother, a childless graduate of Harvard who was an honest life insurance salesman in Indianapolis. He was well-read and wise. And his principal complaint about other human beings was that they so seldom noticed it when they were happy. So when we were drinking lemonade under an apple tree in the summer, say, and talking lazily about this and that, almost buzzing like honeybees, Uncle Alex would suddenly interrupt the agreeable blather to exclaim, ''If this isn’t nice, I don’t know what is.''

So I do the same now, and so do my kids and grandkids. And I urge you to please notice when you are happy, and exclaim or murmur or think at some point, ''If this isn’t nice, I don’t know what is.''

That’s one favor I’ve asked of you.

Now I’ve got another one, a show of hands. How many of you have had a teacher at any point in your entire education who made you happier to be alive, prouder to be alive than you had previously believed possible? Now please say the name of that teacher out loud to someone sitting or standing near you.

OK? All done? ''If this isn’t nice, I don’t know what is.''
