Sore Loser

Saturday, February 10th, 2007

This will be quick. Marion County Republicans elected local attorney Tom John as their new County Chairman. John got 65 percent of the vote in a four-way race. What was most notable though in the whole election was defeated candidate Bob Croddy’s speech to his fellow Republicans. It was really bad. How bad was it? […]

A Black Eye for the Brown and Blue

Saturday, February 10th, 2007

Yesterday’s news regarding an altered police report regarding the illegal gambling raid isn’t good news for the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department. For those of you just joining us, State Senator Glen Howard was mentioned in the original report questioning the officers, but was eliminated in the second report.

Pea Shake, Rattle and Roll

Tuesday, February 6th, 2007

Let me admit to stealing that title from one of the local bloggers. Police raided a local “pea shake” house on the west side this past weekend. Everyone was paying attention to the Super Bowl so there was no press about it. However, according to the police report, the incident occurred in the 1400 Block […]

Add Another Super Bowl City To My List!

Monday, February 5th, 2007

I have this bad habit of living or working in cities that tend to win Super Bowls. I was in Chicago in 1986. I was in law school in St. Louis in 2000. And now Indianapolis in 2007. It’s a habit I don’t plan to break anytime soon. Congratulations to the Indianapolis Colts. It was […]
