Is the NAACP AWOL?

Monday, May 14th, 2007

I’m back from vacation well-rested and ready to go. What’s interesting though is I’m not the only one who’s been on vacation. The NAACP is also on vacation. Along with the ACLU, Concerned Clergy and Ministerial Alliance. None of these groups and come up and protested last week’s disenfranchisement of more than 3100 voters in […]

I TOLD YOU SO!

Saturday, May 12th, 2007

Contrary to popular belief, I really do hate being right all the time because when I am it’s over things that are never good. And Marion County Clerk Beth White has proved my point. She admitted in today’s Indianapolis Star that she NEVER HAD A LIST OF INSPECTORS GOING INTO THE MAY 8 PRIMARY. Duh! […]

DID THEY QUIT OR WERE THEY FIRED?

Friday, May 11th, 2007

I just woke up from my afternoon nap after playing polo to some new information. The big question now is why those poll workers never showed up? The City-County Council is going to have an investigation. But it’s starting to look like the reason the inspectors never showed was because they all quit at least […]

WHEN THE CHIPS ARE DOWN OR GONE!

Thursday, May 10th, 2007

There’s another controversy brewing this morning at the Marion County Clerk’s office. Apparently the computer chips which keep track of votes tallied and other important data are missing in about 40 machines. This is just going from bad to worse. Time for my massage appointment.

WHAT DID THE CLERK KNOW AND WHEN DID SHE KNOW IT?

Thursday, May 10th, 2007

Even though I’m on vacation, the information still comes in. Although Marion County Clerk Beth White has claimed her office was caught off guard by the no shows of up to 200 poll inspectors, sources close to White say they knew they were short by at least 130 inspectors a week before the election and […]

HOW DO YOU LOSE UP TO 200 POLL INSPECTORS?

Tuesday, May 8th, 2007

This is my last post before I get out of town, dammit! Something has been bothering me all day. I don’t understand how up to 200 poll inspectors decided not to show up for work today. In the past, at best ,10 percent of the inspectors don’t show. Usually it’s because someone is ill, or […]

SO MUCH FOR LEAVING TOWN TODAY

Tuesday, May 8th, 2007

I was supposed to be back in Springfield this afternoon, but instead I spent the day running around Marion County following up on voter problems. We all know this morning was a disaster. One hundred and seventy-five inspectors didn’t show up. A lot of polls didn’t open on time. A number of people didn’t get […]

Take Me Away

Monday, May 7th, 2007

I’m taking a few days off after Tuesday’s primary. I’m going home to tend to a few things. I’ll be back on Monday. Emjoy the rest of your week.

My Dinner with Democrats

Sunday, May 6th, 2007

I attended the Indiana State Democrat Annual Dinner last night, much to the surprise of a few folks. U.S. House Majority Steny Hoyer was the keynote speaker and the crowd was very receptive to the usual cast of characters, Bart Peterson, Pat Bauer, Julia Carson, Evan Bayh, etc. Also getting warm regards were new Congressmen […]
