A Truce Is Not a Surrender

Monday, June 21st, 2010

Anyone who knows me knows that when it comes to social issues  (i.e. abortion, gay marriage, etc.) I tend to take a more libertarian approach.   I’m not a big fan of abortion so I don’t plan to have one.*  I frankly couldn’t care less about gay marriage because divorce does more to kill a marriage […]

Like Father, Like Son

Sunday, June 20th, 2010

Last year my Dad had some major health issues.  This year he looks great and through diet and exercise you would never know there was anything wrong.   I’m grateful to have him around for another Father’s Day. And for the record, he’s a very quiet, mild-mannered type so I have no idea what happened to […]

Amnesty for All

Friday, June 18th, 2010

Marion County Prosecutor Carl Brizzi is offering temporary amnesty for individuals who owe back child support.   It’s something I’ve seen done in other jurisdictions.  The government gives people an opportunity to get caught up on back payments by a certain date and in exchange there’s no additional penalty lobbied against them. If I were a […]

Tuesday, June 15th, 2010

Brian Williams is exiting the race for Mayor.  Here’s the message he sent supporters on Facebook. Last year, I entered the Indianapolis Mayor’s race with a vision of building an Indianapolis that works for all of us. An Indianapolis that works for kids with a safe, academically rigorous education, an Indianapolis that works for families […]

Pacers Problems

Tuesday, June 15th, 2010

News Flash, the Pacers and the City of Indianapolis won’t reach a deal before the team’s June 30th deadline.  I’m shocked too.  (Insert sarcasm here) The big question now is what’s next?  I seriously doubt if the Pacers will go anywhere for several reasons. The economy is still in the tank and no municipality can […]

Monday Morning Musings

Monday, June 14th, 2010

I had a few thoughts in the car Sunday while driving back to Indy following a visit with the parents in Chicago.  Here they are… Huckabee Hounds Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels caused a stir by trying to be practical by calling for a “truce” in fight over social issues so this country can get its […]
