Jaws of Clay

Thursday, July 15th, 2010

I’ve just finished listening to an interview with Rev. Stephen Clay, the President of the Baptist Ministers Alliance,  the organization that brought Al Sharpton to town and has been “leading” the protests involving Brandon Johnson. Although I am not of the Judeo-Christian persuasion I think the good Reverend may be breaking the commandment that has […]

Subsidize This!

Wednesday, July 14th, 2010

I can completely understand citizens who are opposed to the deal reached between the Indiana Pacers and the City of   Indianapolis over Conseco fieldhouse’s operations.  Frankly, I would have liked to have seen the City take over the facility and the Pacers pay rent and Indy collect the non-Pacer revenue.  However, the deal is what […]

A Deal’s a Deal

Tuesday, July 13th, 2010

By now you’ve heard the City and the Indiana Pacers have worked out a 3-year deal with the Indiana Pacers to take over the costs of operating Conseco Fieldhouse.   The terms are pretty basic, the city “loans” the Pacers $33 million and change and the longer the Pacers stay, the less they have to payback […]

Now That the Circus Has Left Town

Monday, July 12th, 2010

I have to admit, I did not stay for all of Al Sharpton’s address last night, I left about 15 minutes before he ended.  I’m on Channel 6 at 5 a.m. on Monday mornings and had a lot of work to do before bed.  And to quote my grandfather, “that Negro was not worth losing […]

When Sharpton Speaks

Sunday, July 11th, 2010

Believe it or not, when I went to the news conference this afternoon with Al Sharpton on Indianapolis’ east side, I really did try to keep an open mind.  No matter how offensive I find Al Sharpton and insulting he is to anyone with a brain, I told myself to play it straight.  No matter […]

On Demand

Sunday, July 11th, 2010

Between Al Sharpton coming to town tonight to speak about the Brandon Johnson case and the “March for Peace” slated for tomorrow around the City-County building, I must take a moment to give credit where credit is due.  Some people in this town believe there was an injustice and so they’re stepping up and taking […]

Are You the Light of the World?

Saturday, July 10th, 2010

There’s an old saying that politics and religion don’t go together.  Someone should post that reminder at the door of the Light of the World Church.   At an ecumenical service slated to kick off  Indiana Black Expo this week, Bishop T. Garrett Benjamin took the opportunity to not only engage the audience, but also take […]

The Al Sharpton & Pony Show

Thursday, July 8th, 2010

The quickest way to turn a serious issue into a circus is to add Al Sharpton to the mix.  So in honor of his upcoming visit this weekend to Indianapolis, I found this clip from the old “In Living Color” television show.  Enjoy.

Think Twice

Wednesday, July 7th, 2010

Editor’s Note:  City-Council President Ryan Vaughn read Think Again’s post regarding the water company and asked me if he could post a response.  I said sure. ********** Six hundred words.  Hmmmm. Abdul limits me to 600 words to refute his ridiculous position, that the pending IWC sale to Citizens Energy is a smart deal. It […]

Thinking Again About the Water Deal

Wednesday, July 7th, 2010

Editor’s Note: The poster known as “Think Again” and I disagree over the proposed transfer of Indy’s water and waste water facilities to Citizens Gas.  I asked him to draft an argument against the proposal in 600 words or less and I told him I would post here.  Since I know I’m right and opposing […]
