MORNING MUSINGS

Thursday, April 3rd, 2008

There are a few things to report to you this morning. A lawsuit has been filed by inmates at the Marion County Jail II over it’s conditions.  They say they didn’t get proper medical care, safety conditions at the jail  and the grievance procedure.  I’m willing to bet that this is just the tip of […]

HILLARY’S “ROCKY” ROAD

Wednesday, April 2nd, 2008

The latest news out of the Hillary Clinton camp is that she has been referring to herself as “Rocky” (the boxer, not the flying squirrel nor the guy created by Dr. Frankenfurter) in her quest for the Presidency.  She’s trying to remind voters that she doesn’t give up.  Someone should also tell her that Rocky […]

POLL WATCHING

Tuesday, April 1st, 2008

There is a new poll out on Survey USA concerning the Democratic primary for the race for the Presidency as well as the race for Governor. The Schellinger camp and Long Thompson camp are spinning this puppy more than the guy at the yo-yo factory, so I will give you the basic facts and you […]

MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICE

Tuesday, April 1st, 2008

A new study out today shows that Indianapolis has one of the worst graduation rates in the nation. If I had a business that got these kinds of results, I would either be fired or run out of town. Who still has a problem with school choice after reading this story?

DON’T GIVE, IT HURTS

Tuesday, April 1st, 2008

I told you guys a while back the city was looking to crackdown on panhandlers, one of which was to make them pay a registration fee.   As someone who spends most of his time in downtown Indianapolis I can tell you the downtown panhandlers are a big pain.  There are a couple who actually have […]

PRESIDENTIAL PERSPECTIVE

Monday, March 31st, 2008

Indiana has the pleasure of actually mattering in this Election year. Earlier in the month, Barack Obama visited Plainfield High School. Hillary Clinton visited Ben Davis High School this past Saturday. WXNT producer Chris Spangle covered both and here are his impressions: Both gyms are of equal size. Both Schools opened space for overflow. Senator […]

THE TAXMAN COMETH

Sunday, March 30th, 2008

I’m heading back to Indianapolis today after spending the last few days getting caught up with friends, tending to legal matters and visiting with my accountant.  And after doing my taxes again this year, I have re-affirmed my disdain for the federal government and how it spends the money it takes from me.  What makes […]

INDECISION ’08

Friday, March 28th, 2008

I’m out of town today getting ready to meet with my accountant and vet out some tax issues.  I really need to just have one job and be done with it.  Either that or maybe the government should stop taking so much of my money, either way I’m out today, but I wanted to leave […]

ALAS POOR TDW, I KNEW IT WELL! A BLOG OF INFINITE JEST AND EXCELLENT FANCY!

Thursday, March 27th, 2008

Jen Wagner at Taking Down Words is calling it a day.  She is going to work for the Schellinger for Governor campaign.  Believe it or Jen and I agree we want this state to be a better place, we just disagree on how it should be done.  One day she will see the light.  (Smile)  […]

MY QUESTION FOR HILLARY

Thursday, March 27th, 2008

You’ve probably heard about the Butler University student who got his chops busted by Chelsea Clinton for asking about the Monica Lewinsky affair.  Had I been at the town hall meeting, here is the question I would have asked.  “Mrs. Clinton, as President it’s pretty important that you stay focused while working on important issues.  […]
