Who's Ear?


This morning I heard a radio spot asking all "Indianians" to call their senator and ask him to vote for or against something. Frankly, the message was lost on me as I got stuck on Indianians.

We're Hoosiers. NOT Indianians.

Come on, that even looks ridiculous. Like the word is repeating itself.

I was so incensed over this waste of money and horrible ad firm work that I wrote the group a letter. After hitting send, I realized that this may be a touch over the top and a little bit too much HOOSIER pride.

All that, and no one really even knows what a Hoosier is anyway. All we've got to go one are some folksy tales about missing ears or people entering the room. And let's not forget the fact that in other parts of the country, a Hoosier is something bad.

But whatever. This is Indiana. We're Hoosiers and proud of it.
