Yes, the Purdue Boilermakers have cracked the Top 25 (in the coaches poll, 26th in the AP voting) for the first time in two years. I have good feelings about this season, but we still have to face a revitalized Michigan, Ohio State, Wisconsin and Penn State, so it’s no easy road, but we do have one of the top QB-WR combos in the country and experienced players on both sides of the ball.

I think this is exactly what was intended by the laws restricting where sex offenders can live,
About 75 percent of Mobile’s housing is off-limits to sex offenders because of residency restrictions, a Press-Register analysis shows. That leaves pockets inside the city, or less populated areas outside it, for local offenders to live, officials agree.
The restrictions were designed to protect children by keeping sex predators away from schools and day cares. But some researchers and studies report that such restrictions are pushing sex offenders into more rural areas, creating clusters of former convicts who live in isolation, have no ties to their communities, and lack work, education and treatment options.
I’m not sure about the connection between the lack of work, education and treatment options and the fact that they have limited places where they can live. I don’t think anyone will be looking to change the housing restrictions, but we should begin the conversation about what more can be done to reintegrate people who are part of our communities back into society, without increasing the danger they may pose to the innocent.
The Boilermakers got their Big Ten season off to a great start with a win on the road against Minnesota yesterday. GO BOILERS!
Our fair Sen. Sessions finally got off the fence on Iraq…we’re so proud. He’s also now concerned about “rubber stamps”, when he’s given this President a rubber stamp for 7 years!
