Growing up in Chicago you learn a few things, particularly the art of the con game. Whenever the con man tells you to look at one hand, it’s the other hand you should be paying attention to. It would behoove a lot of people to keep that in mind when dealing with Indianapolis Public Schools […]
We all know what happened at today’s Marion County Election Board meeting. A measure that would have allowed for satellite voting this November failed because it did not get an unanimous vote.

The Baptist Ministers Alliance is allegedly bringing Sharpton to town. Sharpton was paid to come to Indianapolis last year to protest the Brandon Johnson […]
Although it’s been a few days since 7th District Congressman Andre Carson’s comments regarding some members of the Tea Party hit the national scene, the debate still continues. Carson himself has started to backtrack somewhat from his rhetoric that there are some members of Congress who would like to see blacks “hanging from a tree”, […]
