The girlfriend and I are taking a road trip today so I won’t have anything up until tomorrow night. There is a 7th District candidate forum Sunday evening at Light of the World Church in Indianapolis. I’ll have a full report for you then. In the meanwhile, feel to talk about whatever is on your […]

It looks like we might have had a minor earthquake this morning.  It hit about 5:35 and lasted about 10-15 seconds.  The station here at 92nd and Meridian shook a little bit, but there was no damage.  I was in the car coming up Meridian and didn’t feel a thing.  I got a call from a […]

The anti-smoking people are about to be at it again. They are holding a town hall meeting next week at the IUPUI campus.   The main purpose of the meeting is that it is about the dangers of second hand smoke, but remember these are the same people who would like to expand the anti-smoking ordinance […]

Here’s some food for thought.  I’m running into more and more people who tell me that if Barack Obama becomes the Democratic nominee for President they will vote for him, but also vote for Mitch Daniels for Governor.  What do you make of it?

A formal endorsement would also signal a tight race in the 7th and by supporting Obama, Carson would be endearing […]

A new poll out by the LA Times and Bloomberg found Barack Obama ahead of Hillary Clinton by 5 points here in the Hoosier state. The poll surveyed 691 likely voters. However it was done right as the latest Obama controversy was taking shape. Obama leads 40-35 with 19 percent undecided, so the dynamics could […]

Two measures were introduced at last night’s City-County Council meeting; one would reduce the Public Safety Tax by 0.5 percent.  Sponsor Vernon Brown says part of the tax was increased to cover the pre-1977 police pension debt, but since the state has now picked up that burden, Brown says the money should be returned to the […]

Say what you will about Barack Obama, but I don’t think you want to use the term “boy” anywhere near his name.

Someone recently asked me what I thought when politicians misspeak?  I said “not much.”   It happens all the time.  Whether it’s Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama or John McCain.  I expect them to make misstatements.   It happens when you talk a lot and live in the age of YouTube and camera phones. The trick is what […]
