I have always felt that here in Indiana, Republicans worst enemies aren’t Democrats or progressives, but themselves. This became abundantly clear when I read State Representative Curt Nisly of Goshen wants to introduce a bill that would put a rape victim in jail for having an abortion if she became pregnant due to the sexual […]
So now that we’ve had a week to digest the election results, it’s time to pick the winners and losers of 2016. This list is not all inclusive and you are free to add anyone you think we should have. Winners Mike Pence, Vice-President Elect Rumors of Mike Pence’s political demise were grossly exaggerated. A […]
WIBC reports that what started as a mostly peaceful anti-Donald Trump protest at the State House in downtown Indianapolis ended with the police dispersing the crowd Saturday evening. Seven people were arrested and two Indianapolis police officers were hurt. Chief Troy Riggs said in a news conference that most of the people peacefully exercised their 1st […]
There were a lot of story lines out of Election night,Trump’s victory, the GOP Sweep, but we think the most under-reported story line was the fact that highest vote getter in the state of Indiana in 2016 was not Donald Trump, but Attorney General Elect Curtis Hill. Take a look at these results… Curtis Hill […]
Now that our long, national nightmare (the 2016 Election) is over, I can get back to work on a few things that I’ve put on hold. Here are the top 10. Get back to work on my novel, “Sub-Leasing Uncle Tom’s Cabin” Rebooting the stand-up comedy routine and hitting the area club circuit. Break out […]
As politically incorrect as I can be when it comes to talking about race, there’s nothing more offensive than when someone tries to play the race card and deals from the bottom of the deck. Allow me to elaborate. A “controversy” this weekend ensued following an editorial in the Indianapolis Recorder (full disclose, I am […]
There are some things that I honestly think I will never understand, the Dr. Phil Show, people who like brussel sprouts and how investigating possible voter registration fraud is the equivalent of racially based disenfranchisement. As you may have heard Indiana State Police is investigating the possibility that thousands of recent voter registrations may have […]
As someone who frequently covers school choice-related issues in Indiana, I find it interesting and ironic when opponents of reform and vouchers make better arguments for healthy competition than I do. A friend of mine (we’ll call him Ben) is a teacher in a traditional public school. He is a good guy and has the […]
To be honest, when I started watching last night’s Vice-Presidential debate I really did think it would be as one commentator put it, “The Thrilla in Vanilla”. No such luck. Both Governor Mike Pence and Senator Tim Kaine were a lot more animated and combative than I thought they would be. Kaine went after Donald […]
Let me start this by saying John Gregg is a pretty smart guy. You don’t become Speaker of the House, work for major Fortune 500 companies and become the interim President of a University without knowing what you’re doing. This is why I was surprised at his major gaffe at last night’s gubernatorial debate. It […]
