My good friend and former Indianapolis Star editorial writer RiShawn Biddle has a thought-provoking piece today on the legacy of 7th District Congresswoman Julia Carson.  It’s on the American Spectator’s website.  It makes for very interesting reading. 

There’s nothing like getting back into town, throwing all your stuff on the floor, running to the suburbs where dinner is waiting and running all the way back downtown to cover city hall. There was a lot of stuff tonight, so here it is. Republicans announced their committee leadership team. Public Safety – Ryan Vaughn, […]

You might recall how I equated the process to succeed outgoing Congresswoman Julia Carson to that of the queen passing and the subsequent royal family jockeying for position. Well if anyone tells you there is no positioning going on they are lying to your face. For right now it looks like for the major players […]

A coalition of Indiana farmers, labor and faith leaders are protesting a NAFTA-style agreement with Peru that the U.S. Senate will debate next week. They say NAFTA and similar free trade agreements have been responsible for the loss of thousands of American jobs.  I agree jobs have been lost, but jobs have also been gained. […]

Apparently my charming personality and rapier wit have become lost on Black Democrats in Marion County.  I don’t know why they hate me but they have really stepped things up.  From outgoing City-County Council Attorney Aaron Haith calling me the grandson of Willie Lynch, to State Representative Bill Crawford defending him.  And State Representative Vanessa Summers […]

I’m hearing this morning that 7th District Congresswoman Julia Carson may resign her seat by the end of the week.  Carson revealed publicly this weekend that she has terminal lung cancer and is now in hospice care.  If she does step down a special election would have to be called for her replacement.  Stay tuned.

I can’t say I was surprised to find out 7th Congressional District Congresswoman Julia Carson was terminally ill with lung cancer. I knew there was something going on; her staff would never be candid with the press, a last minute radio interview before the election, former Congressman Andy Jacobs giving an “endorsement” to her grandson […]

I’m going home tonight to Chicago to see family, friends and ex-girlfriends for the Thanksgiving break and will be back on Sunday.  So I wanted to take a few seconds and thank all of you guys for your support of all my media endeavors (WXNT, RTV 6, The Indianapolis Business Journal and of course Indiana […]
