BART V. BALLARD (ROUND II)

Monday, October 15th, 2007

Indianapolis Mayor Bart Peterson and challenger Greg Ballard met for their second round of formal debates Monday night and this time it was a draw. The two answered questions for a neighborhood association on the near south side. The last time the two engaged each other it was a clear win for Peterson. Both men […]

SAY YOU WANT A REVOLUTION

Monday, October 15th, 2007

City-Council President Monroe Gray may be facing a revolt within his own party. My sources tell me that many members of his own party are fed up with the perpetual embarrassment that his become his leadership as of late. Although a handful of them may express support publicly for Gray, behind the scenes it is […]

BUSTED!

Saturday, October 13th, 2007

For the record this post has nothing to do with a public official, but it does concern a public person, Wilson Allen, aka Wilson 46201. We all know Wilson trolls the Internet looking for unfavorable postings about members of his political party and attacks the critics as either racist or homophobic. I have known for […]

I HATE TO BURST YOUR BUBBLE

Friday, October 12th, 2007

City-County Council Member Ron Gibson is on cloud nine after disorderly conduct charges were dropped this week, however he may have just traded one controversy for another. The day the charges were dropped Gibson had a news conference outside the City-County building. He read a statement that was issued to the press on government letterhead […]

NOW HERE’S SOMETHING YOU DON’T HEAR EVERYDAY

Thursday, October 11th, 2007

During my tenure as a journalist/commentator/talk show host I have been called a lot of things by a lot of people. Most of them roll off me like the water off a duck’s back. However, yesterday I was called something that stuck a little bit longer than usual. I was called the “grandson of Willie […]

HIT AND RUN!

Wednesday, October 10th, 2007

For those of you think the GOP gets a pass from me, you really should learn to hold your water a bit more. State Rep. Mike Murphy is in the middle of a “hit and run” scandal. My colleague Jack Rinehart at RTV 6 has the full scoop. No one was injured. I can’t help […]

THE WHOLE TRUTH?

Wednesday, October 10th, 2007

A lot of Marion County residents are scratching their heads at the latest developments down at city hall. No, it doesn’t involve Council President Monroe Gray. Although the latest news regarding him is that an arbitrator is ordering him to pay $600,000 to his former business partner as a result of a labor dispute, but […]

WILL NO ONE RID ME OF THIS MEDDLESOME PRESIDENT?!

Wednesday, October 10th, 2007

It’s not very often that I can draw a corollary between 12th century England and 21st century Marion County, but gosh darn it, when I get the chance, I do. The title of this posting comes from a quote from Henry II regarding his conflict with St. Thomas Becket, the Archbishop of Canterbury. Becket engaged […]

GOOD GRIEF!

Tuesday, October 9th, 2007

There is not a lot City-County Council Member Jackie Nytes and I agree on, but last night we were both 100% in sync with each other. The Council was bickering over the creation a government efficiency committee spear-headed by the Greater Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce, when the Council bogged down over how many appointments Republicans […]

MY OWN “DISCOVERY”

Sunday, October 7th, 2007

Monday is Columbus Day. I usually do the radio show and take the rest of the day off so I wanted to get this up tonight. I’ve been disturbed at the recent rash of murders in town. There were 12 in September and we’ve hit half that number seven days into October when murders should […]
