College football is eating its institutions alive: https://www.cnn.com/2023/08/24/opinions/college-football-conferences-realignment-pac-12-acc-sec-big-12-leitch/index.html An interesting idea.

Clinton Prairie at Frankfort game time has been changed to 8pm Friday.

Kind of cool:

I stand corrected.

I thought some of the landmarks in that picture looked familiar. And the distinctive top of the old Kokomo gas tower gives it away. BTW the gas tower, a Kokomo landmark for decades, was imploded in 2003:

Go Zebras.

Yet more government overreach. This time for high school football field parking lot.....................

But the residents of Floyd County Indiana probably do because a good portion of them have some kind of economic or social interests (job, services, school, material goods, etc.) with the Louisville area. Same for the residents of Dearborn county and Cincinnati.

Go Wildkats.

Public Employee Unions Rule California https://reason.com/2023/08/18/public-employee-unions-rule-california/ What F.D.R. said decades ago was the truth; public sector unions are a scourge that should never have been allowed to come into being:

At his age I'm sure this nonsense just confuses Mr. Biden. But his DNC handlers just tell him to nod, smile, and eat ice cream.

‘Gender Hybrid’ Children? https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/gender-hybrid-children/ What are the supposed hybrids? Gender Prius: Half girl and half boy Gender Minotaur: One gender on top and a different one on the bottom Gender by Season: One gender during the school year and another over the summer Gender by Location: At home, one gender, elsewhere another Contrary to the story, readers should resist the temptation to dismiss these views as fringe. “Fringe” today in America is holding to the view that children are of the sex in which they have been born and that the proper approach to treating gender confusion is to conduct an in-depth and at-length mental-health exploration of the child’s emotional state (as some European countries now insist). Indeed, expressing such opinions can be dangerous and could cause a parent to lose custody of their gender-dysphoric child or medical professionals to be branded “transphobic” and have their careers threatened. But on the gender-ideological left, there is no longer such a thing as “fringe.” After all, ten years ago, who would have thought that we would allow doctors to cut off the breasts of 14-year-old girls who feel they are boys — and that showing images of teenagers with two scars on their chests would become a celebrated phenomenon? Who would have thought that doctors would perform facial-reconstruction surgeries on teenagers to masculinize or feminize their appearances? Who would have thought that one of the highest officials at HHS would praise a “gender inclusive biology curriculum” for children that eliminates the word “mother” and replaces it with “gestational parent” or “egg carrier”? No, Ehrensaft — the official at the UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital mentioned in the Fox News story — is not fringe. She is very credentialed, frequently published in medical journals, and holds a position of great power and influence. She is also a professor at UCSF School of Medicine, specializing in pediatric “gender-affirmative care for transgender and gender-expansive patients.” I suspect she received these high-prestige positions because of her no-longer-fringe opinions, not in spite of them. “Gender Minotaur.” “Gender Prius.” Our poor children. Our poor children indeed. And just when I thought the gender-obsessed left couldn't get any nuttier.
