All Is Not Well

Wednesday, February 28th, 2007

I kicked myself in the butt for missing the Mayor’s State of the City Address yesterday. I had to teach and couldn’t cancel class. However, I did set my DVR to record it and watched it later. I will give the Mayor credit for being eternally optimistic about the city’s future, but when you think […]

The Bar that’s Not in a Government Building

Tuesday, February 27th, 2007

I’ve spent the past few days tracking down a story about a police incident at the Carmel home of an Indiana Pacer so I didn’t get a chance to comment on this. However everybody seems to have an opinion on Carl Brizzi and his 10 percent ownership Harry’s and Izzi’s which is under construction in […]

Just Good Old Fashioned Fundraising

Monday, February 26th, 2007

Indiana Democrats say they are not breaking the law with a March 6 fundraiser with House Speaker Pat Bauer as the guest speaker. A state law bans lawmakers from fundraising during long sessions. Spokeswoman Jennifer Wagner says individual lawmakers can’t raise money, but political parties can and elected officials can headline those fundraisers. However Republicans […]

A Sign of Things to Come?

Sunday, February 25th, 2007

I took some time off to go be with my son. He’s doing better by the way, but still has a way to go. But as I was doing my checking on Indianapolis I was disturbed at a trend I was starting to see. Last week we had seven homicides in the Circle City. What’s […]

Parker v. Peterson

Thursday, February 22nd, 2007

It looks like Indianapolis Mayor Bart Peterson will have a Republican challenger after all. Local businessman Bob Parker is expected to file paperwork today and formally announce tomorrow that he is running for Mayor of Indianapolis. Parker is a millionaire. And while GOP sources aren’t saying what Parker will spend on the Mayor’s race, they […]

Lawrence Lawsuit

Tuesday, February 20th, 2007

I was going to write about this in the morning, but the information fell in my lap tonight, so here it is. A complaint is being filed Wednesday with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission against Lawrence Mayor Deborah Cantwell. The complaint, being filed on behalf of four black officers, alleges Cantwell created a hostile work […]

A Quick Update…

Tuesday, February 20th, 2007

Tomorrow will be very busy. A racial discrimination complaint will be filed against Lawrence Mayor Deborah Cantwell. Former Coroner John McGoff is going to challenge incumbent Congressman Dan Burton in the 2008 election. I’ll have his comments. I’ll also ask if the Colts are turning into the Pacers?

Nanny’s Back

Tuesday, February 20th, 2007

The Government has decided that once again it has nothing else better to do but make it a crime to sell violent video games to minors. The Senate Economic and Technology Committee passed a bill 5-2 that would make it a crime to sell or rent a violent video game to a minor. A retailer […]

Thank You, from the Bottom of My Heart

Sunday, February 18th, 2007

I just got back into town tonight after spending the past few days with my son who is still in the hospital. As I mentioned in my last post, he had surgery on Thursday. The doctors removed a growth about the size of a softball which was adjacent to his right lung. Unfortunately the only […]

Now I Can Tell You

Thursday, February 15th, 2007

For the past several weeks I have been under the most stress I have ever experienced in my entire life. You may not have noticed in my words or voice, but it’s been pretty tough. Last month my son was hospitalized for pneumonia. During that time the doctors found a spot on his lung. At […]
