The Marion County Democratic Party’s internal polling must not be looking to good these days. The party is dropping several thousand flyers in predominantly black neighborhoods insinuating that Mayor Greg Ballard is a racist. I’ve embedded a copy of the flyer in this post (both the front and back). I got it from my barber [...]
Although my relationship with 75-percent of the Marion County Democratic Party is strained at best, I have always had a good relationship with 7th District Congressman Andre Carson. We almost became relatives through marriage a few years ago. And we are even disliked by personally by the same Democratic County Chairman. So while a lot [...]
I wasn’t planning to blog again until Monday, but never let it be said a little thing like an out-of-state trial would stand in the way of me picking up lots of gossip, rumor and blatant political innuendo. You know you all have been waiting for it, so here we go… Last week’s debt ceiling [...]
Since today is Super Bowl Sunday and politics is probably the last thing on your mind, I’ll try to be as brief as possible while talking the latest gossip, rumor and blatant innuendo. Mark February 22 on your calendar at Republican State party headquarters in downtown Indianapolis. That is reportedly when and where Indiana State [...]
In their zeal to get an early start on 2011, Marion County Democrats are unveiling their first attack ad against incumbent Mayor Greg Ballard.

Marion County Democrats today unveiled this attack ad on Republican Prosecutor candidate Mark Massa.

Oh, and they spell David [...]
I spent some time this weekend at the Feast of Lanterns, a near east side community event. I volunteered to sit in the dunk tank for an hour. I managed to get dunked by Democratic City-County Council candidate Zach Adamson, an 11-year old and my wife. I’m not sure who had the most fun thorwing [...]
I’ve put down my martini, Cohiba and GQ magazine for a few minutes to comment on a few issues that have popped up this week Pacers Deal in the Works? My reliable sources are telling me the Indiana Pacers and the Capital Improvement Board could be close to reaching a short-term deal. The way I [...]
The last 24 hours have reminded me of the old saying “may you live to see interesting times.” Because looking at the lay of the political landscape here in Indianapolis, the times are interesting and Marion County Prosecutor Carl Brizzi is at ground zero. Republican candidate Mark Massa called on Brizzi to resign. Brizzi called [...]
In my continuing efforts to present all points of view, I recently had three of my “liberal blogger” friends on the morning show. The guys from The Bilerico Project and Chris Warden of iPOPA. It was a fun discussion over state and local issues. We obviously disagreed, but it was a lively, spirited and respectful [...]
