Last week 90 some people were rounded up in a drug raid in San Diego. More than 60 of the culprits were students at San Diego State. One of the students, a criminal justice major, asked one of the arresting officers, “Do you think this will hurt my chances of employment with federal law enforcement?”

Endowed Bathroom: A venture capitalist has given $25,000 to the University of Colorado to endow a bathroom. The lavatory in the business school will have a sign outside it featuring the inspiring quote: “The best ideas often come at inconvenient times.

“Indecision may or may not be my problem.”
In case you missed it, the ACLU is suing the State of Indiana on behalf of Mark Studler because Indiana is not charging a $15.oo fee for the popular “In God We Trust” license plates. Rather than recap the entire “adventure” here, I’ll point you to two blogs that disagree on the reason for the lawsuit.
John at The Daily Detour says it’s about God.
Gary Varvel 1link no longer valid says it isn’t.
Both think it’s ridiculous; so do I.
