New Year’s Resolutions
I’m getting ready to head out of town and do a comedy gig for a charity back in Springfield. I’ve done this for the last several years on New Year’s Eve, so I’ll be sober this evening. But before I left town, I wanted to share my New Year’s Resolutions for my favorite public officials. Here they are…
Gov. Mitch Daniels
Keep the big ideas and big agendas coming, but don’t forget they also require the big sell.
Mayor Bart Peterson
You’re going into 2007 with the 3rd worst homicide rate in the city’s history. Get crime under control.
Sheriff Frank Anderson
You have a lot of angry cops under your command now. Use the same charm you have with the public on them.
Indiana House Speaker Pat Bauer
You guys are great at playing the loyal opposition. But soon you’re going to have to offer big ideas.
Senate Pro Tempore David Long
Good luck at herding the cats that are your caucus.
City-County Council
Please re-elect Monroe Gray Council President. He is the gift that keeps on giving.
Carl Brizzi
After this last election in Marion County, you should seriously think about going on survivor.
Marion County Democrats
Congrats on the big wins in the last election. I’m looking forward to writing about the infighting I hear is taking place.
Marion County Republicans
My condolences on the losses in the last election. But like the Democrats, I’m looking forward to writing about the infighting I hear is taking place.
Carmel
Keep being Carmel.
Abdul-Hakim Shabazz
You can’t improve on perfection so just relax in 2007.
HAPPY 2007!!!

Reelect Monroe Gray - are you nut…. oh yeah of course! Hey keep Sweet Pea in there. That way we can point and laugh at him until November when the GOP can take over!

Monroe Gray will have no trouble whatsoever being re-elected by the voters of his District. If you don’t like him - field a truly competitive candidate! It’s called Democracy - our American Way since 1776!

“Abdul-Hakim Shabazz
You can’t improve on perfection so just relax in 2007.”
Man it’s gettin’ DEEP in here!
“Monroe Gray …” blah blah blah
PEE-YOO!! Wilson is in here too.

Childish namecalling without political content or context is just messing up the place for serious discussion … grow up and talk politics like an adult! A little civility foes a long way…

Goes a long way! (typos are a bitch!)
