The Empire Strikes Out

Tuesday, April 9th, 2013

If Marion County Democrats are hoping to change minds and influence the Legislature with this video regarding SB 621, then Indiana really should look at decriminalizing marijuana because apparently somebody was using a lot of it when they put this together.

When Playing the Race Card, Deal From the Bottom of the Deck

Saturday, October 29th, 2011

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 […]

Carson’s Comments

Wednesday, August 31st, 2011

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 […]

While I Was Out

Friday, August 5th, 2011

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 […]

Sunday Morning Post

Sunday, February 6th, 2011

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 […]

The First Shot of 2011

Tuesday, November 9th, 2010

In their zeal to get an early start on 2011, Marion County Democrats are unveiling their first attack ad against incumbent Mayor Greg Ballard.  It plays on familiar themes, even though it is fast and lose with the truth in some places and outright lies in others.    However, it is effective to the uninformed individual, […]

When Ads Kind of Attack

Wednesday, October 27th, 2010

Marion County Democrats today unveiled this attack ad on Republican Prosecutor candidate Mark Massa.    The only problem I had with it is that Massa wasn’t the lead attorney in the cop brawl from 16 years ago,  it was another attorney who is now a Democratic Judge in Marion County.   Oh, and they spell David […]

Slam Dunk!!!

Monday, August 30th, 2010

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 […]

Re-Checking In

Thursday, May 13th, 2010

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 Fallout Continues

Thursday, April 8th, 2010

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 […]
