Why I Want Indy to Get a Super Bowl

Sunday, May 20th, 2007

To be honest, for the longest time I really could have cared less whether Indianapolis got a Super Bowl. I don’t think Super Bowls really don’t do all that much for city’s long-term economy and image. When was the last time you went to Jacksonville or Detroit? But this morning, I did decide to care […]

Talk About HIGHprocrisy

Friday, May 18th, 2007

Gary Welsh at Advance Indiana is reporting this afternoon that the ACLU and State Democrats are appealing to the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn a 7th Circuit Court ruling that upheld Indiana’s Voter ID Law. Talk about hyprocrisy. These guys have yet to produce one voter who was disenfranchised by Voter ID, meanwhile at least […]

You Have a Better Idea?

Friday, May 18th, 2007

The President and a bipartisan group of Senators have worked out a deal on immigration reform that would secure the border and eventually legalize the 12-million illegal immigrants in the United States. The plan would increase border security, crackdown on employers who hire illegals, set up a temporary guest worker program and eventually allow those […]

The Race Against Crime

Wednesday, May 16th, 2007

I’m going to get a little conspiratorial this morning. When I look at Indy’s crime and homicide rate, it’s no big secret that most of the victims are poor and Black. I can’t help but wonder sometimes if there would be more community outrage if the homicide victims had a little more money and a […]

Here We Go Again

Tuesday, May 15th, 2007

I picked up an interesting tidbit this evening. Warren Township Schools are sitting on another potential sexual time bomb involving the reported rape of a student by a school football player. If it turns out to be true this school district is going to have a major disaster on its hands. Stay tuned.

Call Us, Because We Won’t Call You

Tuesday, May 15th, 2007

I finally got my call returned Monday from the Indianapolis branch of the NAACP. I called them several times last week to inquire if they were going to get involved in the Marion County disaster known as the May 8 primary where polls opened late and some didn’t open at all disenfranchising at least 3100 […]

State Budget Director to Step Down

Monday, May 14th, 2007

Chuck Schalliol, State Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) plans to announce this afternoon that he’s stepping down as the head of OMB. More details to follow later today.

Is the NAACP AWOL?

Monday, May 14th, 2007

I’m back from vacation well-rested and ready to go. What’s interesting though is I’m not the only one who’s been on vacation. The NAACP is also on vacation. Along with the ACLU, Concerned Clergy and Ministerial Alliance. None of these groups and come up and protested last week’s disenfranchisement of more than 3100 voters in […]

I TOLD YOU SO!

Saturday, May 12th, 2007

Contrary to popular belief, I really do hate being right all the time because when I am it’s over things that are never good. And Marion County Clerk Beth White has proved my point. She admitted in today’s Indianapolis Star that she NEVER HAD A LIST OF INSPECTORS GOING INTO THE MAY 8 PRIMARY. Duh! […]

DID THEY QUIT OR WERE THEY FIRED?

Friday, May 11th, 2007

I just woke up from my afternoon nap after playing polo to some new information. The big question now is why those poll workers never showed up? The City-County Council is going to have an investigation. But it’s starting to look like the reason the inspectors never showed was because they all quit at least […]
