If today feels a little warmer, it might be the heat being generated between the two Democratic candidates for Governor. Jill Long Thompson has unveiled a new ad going after Jim Schellinger’s record, accusing him of lobbying for higher property taxes. Schellinger is an architect whose firm designed schools. Schellinger spokeswoman Jen Wagner says the […]
For those of you who plan to vote in your school board elections, there is a question that you need to ask. It’s not about property taxes or spending, but ask the candidates about their position on zero tolerance. Although some educators will say it is the most fair way to issue punishment, it is […]
I don’t usually talk about the Congressional race in Indiana’s 2nd Congressional district, but I can’t let this one go by. Hoosier Access is reporting, and I saw the photo, that 2nd Congressional District candidate Tony Zirkle addressed a gathering of Neo-Nazis to commemorate Adolph Hitler’s birthday. This guy is nuts, but apparently smart enough to […]
Here’s some news from around Indiana this morning. You can feel free to decide which category it should fit into. Jill Long Thompson and Jim Schellinger continue to go at each other throats.

The girlfriend and I are taking a road trip today so I won’t have anything up until tomorrow night. There is a 7th District candidate forum Sunday evening at Light of the World Church in Indianapolis. I’ll have a full report for you then. In the meanwhile, feel to talk about whatever is on your […]
It looks like we might have had a minor earthquake this morning. It hit about 5:35 and lasted about 10-15 seconds. The station here at 92nd and Meridian shook a little bit, but there was no damage. I was in the car coming up Meridian and didn’t feel a thing. I got a call from a […]
The anti-smoking people are about to be at it again. They are holding a town hall meeting next week at the IUPUI campus. The main purpose of the meeting is that it is about the dangers of second hand smoke, but remember these are the same people who would like to expand the anti-smoking ordinance […]
Here’s some food for thought. I’m running into more and more people who tell me that if Barack Obama becomes the Democratic nominee for President they will vote for him, but also vote for Mitch Daniels for Governor. What do you make of it?
