There are lots of little things to mention this morning, so here they are. Bob Barr, the Libertarian candidate for President will be in Northern Indiana speaking in Valparaiso. Jill Long Thompson is getting a little bit of traction in her campaign. A new poll shows JLT and Mitch statistically tied. This comes the day […]
Indianapolis City-County Council Member Doris Minton McNeill has been charged with felony battery and resisting arrest for her alleged altercation with a police officer this past summer. Special Prosecutor Jim Oliver charged McNeill with D felony battery and three counts of resisting law enforcement, a class A misdemeanor. McNeil was reportedly drunk and belligerent when police […]
Here’s an interesting question in the wake the financial bailout/rescue plan. When you send someone to public office, are you asking them to represent you or use their best judgment? Remember a pure democracy is four wolves and a lamb deciding what to have for lunch? In a republic, the lamb has a shotgun.
Survey USA is reporting Governor Mitch Daniels with a 16-point lead over Democratic challenger Jill Long Thompson. The survey of 687 likely voters showed Daniels leading 53-37.

Okay, it’s quiz time! Which was the bigger political train wreck today? The stock market losing nearly 700 points because of no financial bailout? John McCain taking credit for the bailout coalition right before it fell apart? Jill Long Thompson’s campaign talking about the Governor’s travel using incomplete records and an incomplete statute on the […]
In case you were wondering what you could do with the $700 Billion that’s going to bailout the nation’s financial industry, here are a few thoughts courtesy of Time magazine. You could give every poerson in the United States $2,300 or give every household $6,300. You could buy gas for every car in the United States for […]
Okay, let’s all be honest, no one is crazy about writing a check for $700 billion to bailout a bunch of people who made bad decisions. However, the problem is what would happen if we did nothing. As much as I would love to see a lot of people get their up-comings, someone has […]
Your favorite political pundit is back after spending several days in Montana. Believe it or not I actually rode a horse up a mountain. I was there as part of a conference sponsored by the Liberty Fund. I got some interesting ideas which I will scribble down over the next couple of days. In the […]
