Community Schools of Frankfort school boards looks to waste more taxpayer dollars on unneeded athletic upgrades: https://clintoncountydailynews.com/community-schools-of-frankfort-plans-16-million-tax-neutral-bond-for-athletic-upgrades/ First of all this notion of a "tax neutral bond" is just dishonest, marketing, baloney. The school corporation finally paid off an old bond so instead of you know, actually trying to reduce the tax burden of the citizens, it opted for a cycle of basically endless debt because for most of these government bureaucrats it is "free money". Disgusting. I don't know what Mr. Rhoda's concept of "long time" is, but it appears to be no more than yesterday. CSF spent millions within the last 10-15 years athletic facilities, a new auxiliary gymnasium being one of them, along with upgrades to Case Arena. As for these proposed athletic upgrades, they supposedly spent a ton of money on high school pool upgrades not more than 10 years ago, and now they need more? Something smells like nasty chlorine..... And everyone here on the GID know my stance on fake surfaces for football and other athletic fields. A total waste of taxpayers dollars, along with inviting even more injuries to children. It looks like 2026 may be the last year I attend a FHS home football game. Watching a moribund program is torture enough, adding shiny fake grass won't make it any better. And it won't make those 150 students who have fled to Central, Prairie, and Rossville return.

https://www.runnersworld.com/news/a70378899/barkley-marathons-results-2026/ Yep, this race has had zero finishers 26 out of the 40 times it has been held. Not for the weak of heart. There is a pretty good documentary about this race from 2014. Recommended: https://barkleymovie.com/

If you are a basketball fan and have Amazon Prime Video I recommend a new documentary series, Soul Power: The Legend of the American Basketball Association. Very informative and entertaining. Well done.

Nah, that has been tried before and it doesn't work. Trust me. The green tie however is magic.

Clinton Central Bulldogs. As long as the new head coach wears a green tie on the sideline.

Yes.

Interest on the National Debt Will Cost $16 Trillion Over the Next 10 Years: https://reason.com/2026/02/11/americans-will-pay-16-trillion-in-interest-payments-on-the-national-debt-over-the-next-10-years/ More of the America the Baby Boomers have created for their children and grandchildren. They "got theirs", now their descendants have to suffer for it. They must be so proud.

Hmm. Are you saying you choose not to obey local speed limits? Why are you always in such a hurry?

"Varsity Blues" star James Van Der Beek dead at 48: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/obituaries/james-van-der-beek-dawsons-creek-varsity-blues-star-dies-48-rcna233633

Civil War. Are you prepared? Well, have you? And what about the seeds? Only if I absolutely have too. I drive on I-65 maybe twice a year. I prefer county roads and state highways. Yes, most of us are. But we don't have to accept it. I didn't know you were so docile. https://platevanish.com/products/stealth-plate-fogger-double-plate-kit-usa-canada

I prefer not to be endlessly tracked in my everyday movements, whether I am a "decent person" or not. What reason does a local, state, or federal government have in needing to know this? I don't know what "tings" are, but if I were you I would buy gold. And seeds.

Sounds like the state of Iowa is trying to get in that games as well: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7037791/2026/02/10/chicago-bears-iowa-stadium-bill/ Anybody ready for the Quad Cities Bears?

https://reason.com/2026/02/09/san-francisco-public-schoolteachers-make-79468-for-184-days-of-work-now-theyre-striking-for-even-more/?itm_source=parsely-api Agreed. These unions are brazen, wanting more money for their members in the face of poor to barely fair performance.

Yes, which is why I do opt out of all those "AI tracking settings". My flip phone is pretty basic anyhow. You may feel that today you have "nothing to hide", but will it still be that way tomorrow, or next year, or five years from now?

The scariest thing I saw while watching Super Bowl 60 wasn't on the field, it was a commercial: https://reason.com/2026/02/10/rings-lost-dog-finder-is-a-potential-civil-liberties-nightmare/ The privacy implications of this "lost dog finder" are truly frightening.

Yet another zero real-information nugget from twitter. Probably referring to this zero real-information, clickbait "article": https://www.the-sun.com/sport/15919245/chicago-bears-rent-free-billion-domed-stadium-indiana/

https://www.nfl.com/news/sonny-jurgensen-dies-at-91-hall-of-fame-qb-washington-philadelphia Truly one of the greats.

Militarized Policing Is at the Root of the Minneapolis Mayhem: https://reason.com/2026/02/06/militarized-policing-caused-at-the-root-of-the-minneapolis-mayhem/ Agreed. And it is not just ICE but law enforcement agencies/departments across the country, from small towns to big cities, that have embraced this militarization. And we as Americans are less free, and more on-edge, because of it.

Actually now that I have read that the majority of the Super Bowl ads will be AI-generated slop I probably won't watch at all.

https://reason.com/2026/02/05/mike-johnson-wants-to-spare-ice-the-hassle-of-getting-the-right-warrant-before-forcibly-entering-a-home/ Which brings us back to Johnson, who whined, "imagine if we had to go through the process of getting a judicial warrant." But if an ICE agent has the time to obtain a piece of paper signed by a superior in the executive branch before heading out to bust down somebody's front door, then that agent also has the time to obtain a real warrant signed by an actual judge. As the Supreme Court instructed in Lange, "when the officer has time to get a warrant, he must do so." The "sanctity of the home" demands it under our Constitution. Disgusting.

What is Commercial Bingo?

Josh Strasser resigns at McCutcheon: https://www.jconline.com/story/sports/high-school/2026/02/04/indiana-high-school-football-josh-strasser-resigns-lafayette-area-2026/88516798007/?gnt-cfr=1&gca-cat=p&gca-uir=true&gca-epti=z115331p002850c002850v115331d--53--&gca-ft=159&gca-ds=sophi

I don't really care. Will probably sneak a peak at the game primarily for the commercials, then go back to catching up on episodes of Wonder Man on Disney+.
