By now you’ve heard the City and the Indiana Pacers have worked out a 3-year deal with the Indiana Pacers to take over the costs of operating Conseco Fieldhouse. The terms are pretty basic, the city “loans” the Pacers $33 million and change and the longer the Pacers stay, the less they have to payback […]
I have to admit, I did not stay for all of Al Sharpton’s address last night, I left about 15 minutes before he ended. I’m on Channel 6 at 5 a.m. on Monday mornings and had a lot of work to do before bed. And to quote my grandfather, “that Negro was not worth losing […]
Believe it or not, when I went to the news conference this afternoon with Al Sharpton on Indianapolis’ east side, I really did try to keep an open mind. No matter how offensive I find Al Sharpton and insulting he is to anyone with a brain, I told myself to play it straight. No matter […]
Between Al Sharpton coming to town tonight to speak about the Brandon Johnson case and the “March for Peace” slated for tomorrow around the City-County building, I must take a moment to give credit where credit is due. Some people in this town believe there was an injustice and so they’re stepping up and taking […]
There’s an old saying that politics and religion don’t go together. Someone should post that reminder at the door of the Light of the World Church. At an ecumenical service slated to kick off Indiana Black Expo this week, Bishop T. Garrett Benjamin took the opportunity to not only engage the audience, but also take […]
The quickest way to turn a serious issue into a circus is to add Al Sharpton to the mix. So in honor of his upcoming visit this weekend to Indianapolis, I found this clip from the old “In Living Color” television show. Enjoy.

Abdul limits me to 600 words to refute his ridiculous position, that the pending IWC sale to Citizens Energy is a smart deal. It […]
Editor’s Note: The poster known as “Think Again” and I disagree over the proposed transfer of Indy’s water and waste water facilities to Citizens Gas. I asked him to draft an argument against the proposal in 600 words or less and I told him I would post here. Since I know I’m right and opposing […]
I’ve already written about how I think Arizona’s law regarding illegal immigration is unconstitutional so there’s no need to go down that road in the wake the Justice Department’s lawsuit that was filed against the state. However, I would like to bring up something else. Let’s say, for sake of argument, Indiana adopted a law […]
After a nice 4th of July weekend, it’s back to the daily grind of government, politics, gossip, rumor and blatant innuendo. So with all that said, here’s what I have for you today… Al Sharpton’s pending visit to Eastern Star Church nearly didn’t happen. Word is that some members of Pastor Jeffrey Johnson’s church were […]
