Looking at your pictures on your MySpace page, I'd have to say, yeah, you're fat.

Yes, but it's just a farm. No house on the property. He stays in hotels.

First, you have residency as a qualification for U.S. Senate. The U.S. Constitution requires that you be a resident of the State you are elected. The Indiana Constitution and state says you don't lose that residence because of your service in public office. That means if Lugar spends 11 months out of the year in D.C. he is not considered a D.C. resident instead of an Indiana residence. That makes perfect sense. But you can lose your Indiana residence for another reason besides your service in D.C....namely that you give up that Indiana residence, which is what Lugar did when he sold the home and didn't establish any other residence. Lugar stays in hotel rooms when he comes to Indiana. Further, it should be noted that it is highly questionable that Indiana law can somehow supplement or change a federal constitutional qualification provision regarding residency to serve as U.S. Senator. Past court decisions have not allowed states to supplement federal constitutional qualification provisions such as a state providing for term limits for their members of Congress.

The second concept is voter fraud/perjury. King is right that a person only initially lists a residence when they register. However, the absentee ballot application Lugar repeatedly filled out to vote specifically requires him to identify his residence under penalties of perjury. And when Lugar voted, he had to affirm under oath he was still living at the address he registered using. Lugar has repeatedly signed under penalties of perjury that he lives at 3200 Highwoods Court in Indianapolis when he has voted. Lugar though knows perfectly well he hasn't lived at 3200 Highwoods Court in decades.

Richard and Charlene Lugar’s drivers’ licenses say they live at 3200 Highwoods Court even though they have lived in the affluent Washington, D.C. suburb of McLean, Va., for decades. And when Sen. Lugar registered to run for president in 1996, he listed Highwoods Court as his address.

Lugar confirmed that he has not owned any property in Indiana since 1977.

Lugar has spent just 325 days in Indiana between 1990 and 2011

Senator Richard Lugar lives full-time in Virginia and has no Indiana residence. Yet he obtained Indiana license plates on his car by filling out documents for the the Bureau of Motor Vehicles saying he lives at 3200 Highwoods Court, Indianapolis, a house he sold 35 years ago. The BMV has tried to mail him correspondence at that address which is returned because, of course, Lugar doesn't actually live there. Certified Fraud Examiner Greg Wright obtained all the information to confirm these facts.

So Lugar is willing to lie to the BMV saying he lives 3200 Highwoods Court residence. What other government agencies is he lying to? How about the tax agencies? Does Lugar pay Indiana income taxes? If so, does he put down the 3200 Highwoods Court address? Does he put down 3200 Highwoods Court on his Indiana tax form? Does he put it on his federal tax form? Does he not know those documents are signed under threat of perjury?

For the record, Virginia, where Lugar lives, has a top income tax rate of 5.75%. Indiana has a flat income tax rate of 3.4%. Not that that would be Lugar's motivation for reporting the 3200 Highwoods Court address on his tax returns. That motivation appears to be nothing more than arrogance and a belief he is above the law everyone else has to follow.

JBloom, good points. I suspect a for sale sign up soon.

This needs to pass. The we can use just one, and a ladder.

Senate Bill 0110

Local government issues. Provides that in counties other than Marion County, the county executive may adopt an ordinance to change the executive and legislative structure of county government. Provides that such an ordinance to change the structure of county government may be adopted only during an odd-numbered year or before July 1 of an even-numbered year. Specifies that if the ordinance is adopted by a unanimous vote of the entire membership of the county executive, the voters of the county shall not elect a board of county commissioners, but shall instead elect a single county commissioner to serve as the county executive and shall elect a county council that has the legislative and fiscal powers and duties of the county.

Kelly, the commonly accepted nickname for Richard is Dick.

Back in the days of Old and Middle English, everything was written by hand; "it was therefore common and easier to
use agreed-upon abbreviations." An example of an abbreviation was "Ric." for "Richard".

The abbreviations led to diminutives, such as "Rick".

Rhyming nicknames were fairly common in the 12th and 13th centuries, such as "Hick" and "Dick" from "Rick". "Dick and Hick were among the earliest of the rhyming nicknames, first appearing in writing around 1220. Other rhyming nicknames include Polly from Molly, Bob from Rob (from Robert), Bill from Will (from William); and Hodge from Roger."

Dick has remained a nickname for Richard. "'Hick' has thankfully become obsolete, except when tied to 'Dick' in rhymes such as 'Hickory, Dickory, Dock.'"

A web site on the etymology and history of first names in English agrees that "Bob" is a medieval "rhyming nickname" for Robert. This site also suggests that the change in the initial consonant from "Rick" to "Dick" may have been caused by "the way the trilled Norman R was pronounced by the English."

Morgan, I just updated the story. He's Dick Lugar's son.

What a pathetic display of ineptitude by the Henry administration. Send these folks back to Mommy and Daddy's basements.

It didn't take them much time to purge Andi's information from their website.
