Lunchbox: Your baby is too fat!

Bag Krag?: He’ll announce today that he’s resigning! U of L AD Tom Jurich has Jon Gruden waiting in the wings! Wait, the Cards won on Saturday? As the inestimable Eric Crawford wrote in Sunday’s C-J, the rumor mongers are going to hound U of L football coach Steve Kragthorpe until … well, forever. And there’s growing resentment among the fanbase, who seem to be torn between rooting for the Cards’ success and failure for the rest of 2009. But here at LEO, we’re (mostly) looking ahead: Check Wednesday’s issue for the big, bad U of L Hoops preview, wherein we’ll try to avoid the shenanigans and discern whether this team can even begin to compete with the T-Will/E-5 juggernaut of yore.

Lighten up, Dick: We’re already on record in praise of the latest Possibility City ad campaign, which is a funny spoof of those erectile dysfunction ads that try to make you feel more secure about your inadequacies. Speaking of which: Metro Councilman Doug Hawkins, R-25, is showing his humorless side again, calling out the ads for being “in poor taste” and reflecting the city negatively. Perhaps we should ask Hawkins to pitch a commercial, maybe something about keeping those pesky Mexicans away from our booty.

Don’t ask, don’t tell: The Supreme Court Tuesday will hear the case of Honduran Jose Padilla, who was busted for marijuana in Kentucky. But the case has nothing to do with weed: The question is whether lawyers must tell clients they could face deportation for pleading guilty to certain crimes.

And never forget: The House passed anti-hate crimes legislation last week, and the Senate is also expected to forward the bill — named for Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr. — to the president’s desk. Let’s not forget their stories.

Fat Panel?: Looks like Sarah Palin and her Idiot Cabal were at least partially right about “death panels” — they exist! It’s just that a private insurance company is the one holding court here, not the boogiemen of the U.S. government. This Colorado baby is too fat for health care coverage, says his family’s insurance provider. [Via HuffPo]

    My humble (factual) prediction is that this year’s edition of the Cards will be stronger and more consistent than last year’s. I’m not predicting another sweep of Big East regular and post-season titles, but I think a final four is a very real possibility. Hanging our hopes on two wildly inconsistent players (T-5 and E-will) ended up biting us in the ass against an annoyingly disciplined and prepared Michigan State team. Get ready for 5 months of Good Edgar!!!
