Sometimes, You Need to Just Stop Talking!!!

Tuesday, October 23rd, 2012

By now, you’ve heard about the firestorm caused at the second U.S. Senate debate in New Albany.  The ironic part of all this is that it could have been avoided if Richard Mourdock had just stopped talking when he was asked about his position on abortion. I’ve dissected his statement and found several places where […]

Sunday, October 21st, 2012

The average of the last 10 polls of the U.S. Senate race have Richard Mourdock and Joe Donnelly at 42.5% to 41.4% with 13.5% undecided. In the Governor’s race, the average of the last 5 polls is Mike Pence – 47.8% to John Gregg – 33.8%, Undecided – 16%. I think it’s fair to say […]

Same Poll, But Very Interesting Results

Wednesday, October 17th, 2012

A new poll of 495 likely Hoosier voters is telling the same story seen in previous polls, but with a new twist.

Mail Call

Wednesday, October 17th, 2012

A new mailer by the USA Super PAC is causing a bit of a stir.  It ties Richard Mourdock and outgoing Senator Dick Lugar.  The mailer shows a torch being passed as to imply that Lugar is passing the torch to Mourdock, who defeated him in the primary. The Lugar camp has denounced the mailer […]

Suit Yourself

On Thursday, the Indianapolis City County Council Municipal Corporations Committee voted 5-3 to levy a $15 million PILOT (payment in lieu of taxes) against the Capital Improvement Board to help pay for public safety and fill a $65 million budget gap.  When questioned about the legality of the action, PILOT proponent and Council Vice-President Brian […]

There’s No Place Like Home

Saturday, October 13th, 2012

This is a map of which properties in Marion County receive the biggest portion of the Homestead Property Tax Credit.  The credit is paid for through County Option Income Taxes.   In essence, the more valuable the home, the bigger the credit.    The irony of all this is that  the guy who rents and works part-time […]

So, Who Won the Debate? Ask My Wife

Thursday, October 11th, 2012

Due to teaching commitments we weren’t able to make tonight’s first gubernatorial debate between Republican Mike Pence, Democrat John Gregg and Libertarian Rupert Boneham, however the most objective, open-minded and extremely patient person we know was able to watch, the Lovely Mrs. Shabazz. As I have mentioned before, my wife is a true independent voter […]

Tuesday, October 9th, 2012

With the three candidates for Indiana Governor set to meet Wednesday night for their first debate, I’ve decided to offer some friendly last-minute advice on what each should and should not do to walk away victorious. I base this on the fact that I have been a broadcaster for 20 years, teaching speech and communications […]
