My Gov Mitch announces plans for first 100 days in office
By John Francis, THG News, November 18, 2004
Showing the state he is a man that does not believe in wasting time, governor-elect Mitch Daniels announced Sunday his plan for his first 100 days in office. Some of the highlights:
Cut taxes. Daniels plans on working with the State Budget Agency to lower taxes by as much as 80%. “If we trim the fat and have a more efficient government, it will be in the best interests of Indiana’s economy.”
Introduce initiatives designed to spread the availability of broadband Internet to rural areas. Daniels wants to limit government regulation of broadband Internet, speed up the process of granting permits to companies who will expand broadband infrastructure, help private companies expand broadband, and appoint a chief technology officer. Daniels believes these initiatives are important so every small town from South Bend to Evansville will have access to his jazzy “My Gov Mitch” website.
Create an Office of Gay Affairs. Like all politicians, Daniels believes that it is important to give lip service to all minority groups in the state to keep them from stirring up trouble. Hopefully this will shut them up and maybe even get the governor a few more votes in 2008.
Increase the size of the Indiana National Guard. Republicans believe that a strong military is necessary for our protection and for deterrence. Daniels plans on doubling the size of the Guard and purchasing military hardware so it will be able to defend Hoosiers from rogue states like Kentucky and Michigan. Fifteen percent of Daniels’ budget would go to unspecified “black operations”.
Hire an image consultant for the state. Daniels realizes that the rest of the Midwest sees Indiana as Cousin Eddie to their Clark Griswold. To change this image, Daniels will hire an image consultant for the state. If this is successful and Indiana becomes a travelers’ hot spot, it will bring in millions of tourism dollars for the state.
Postpone talks with the Indianapolis Colts about a building a new stadium. “When they get a defense, then we’ll talk,” said Daniels.
Increase the education budget. In a surprise move, Daniels says he will give more money to public schools in the state. Daniels: “If schools are privatized and kids still do not learn up to expectations, those that support school choice will look like total jackasses.”
Decriminalize prostitution. Don’t get Daniels wrong, he is a moral, churchgoing man but sacrifices have to be made if his tax-cut proposal is going to work. Daniels believes he can cut funding to the state’s law enforcement agencies by making this “victimless crime” legal.
Indiana’s constitution mandates that a newly elected governor is to take office on the second Monday in January. The Mitch Daniels era will begin in the Hoosier State on January 10.
Cross Dress Class
A homecoming tradition in which boys dress like girls and vice versa in a tiny Texas school district won't be held Wednesday after a parent complained about what she regarded as the event's homosexual overtones.
As a substitute for "TWIRP Day," the schools ranging from elementary to senior high decided to hold "Camo Day" -- with black boots and Army camouflage to be worn by everyone who wants to participate. TWIRP, which stands for "The Woman Is Requested to Pay," was hosted by Spurger schools for years during Homecoming Week -- to give boys and girls a chance to reverse social roles and let older girls invite boys on dates, open doors and pay for sodas.
Plano-based Liberty Legal Institute issued a news release Tuesday reporting that it "came to the aid of a concerned parent" over an "official cross-dressing day" in the school district 150 miles northeast of Houston.

The Gipsy Trail
The white moth to the closing bine,
The bee to the opened clover,
And the gipsy blood to the gipsy blood
Ever the wide world over.
Ever the wide world over, lass,
Ever the trail held true,
Over the world and under the world,
And back at the last to you.
Out of the dark of the gorgio camp,
Out of the grime and the grey
(Morning waits at the end of the world),
Gipsy, come away!
The wild boar to the sun-dried swamp,
The red crane to her reed,
And the Romany lass to the Romany lad,
By the tie of a roving breed.
The pied snake to the rifted rock,
The buck to the stony plain,
And the Romany lass to the Romany lad,
And both to the road again.
Both to the road again, again!
Out on a clean sea-track --
Follow the cross of the gipsy trail
Over the world and back!
Follow the Romany patteran
North where the blue bergs sail,
And the bows are grey with the frozen spray,
And the masts are shod with mail.
Follow the Romany patteran
Sheer to the Austral Light,
Where the besom of God is the wild South wind,
Sweeping the sea-floors white.
Follow the Romany patteran
West to the sinking sun,
Till the junk-sails lift through the houseless drift.
And the east and west are one.
Follow the Romany patteran
East where the silence broods
By a purple wave on an opal beach
In the hush of the Mahim woods.
"The wild hawk to the wind-swept sky,
The deer to the wholesome wold,
And the heart of a man to the heart of a maid,
As it was in the days of old."
The heart of a man to the heart of a maid --
Light of my tents, be fleet.
Morning waits at the end of the world,
And the world is all at our feet!
