I just finished reading competing perspectives on mass transit by Indianapolis Star columnists Matthew Tully and Erkia D. Smith. The two are “debating” whether mass transit will ever get off the ground here in the area? Smith thinks it can with the right leadership behind it, Tully offers a more realistic (or pessimistic) view, depending […]
I know it’s only June, but Christmas came early for your favorite political blogger and commentator. Friday’s news regarding abortion, gay marriage and illegal immigration mean Monday’s show is going to be a lot of fun. Two federal judges issued rulings granting injunctions against portions of Indiana’s plan to defund Planned Parenthood and a recently […]
To clear up a few things regarding yesterday’s blog post and my question regarding Stephen Clay of the Baptist Ministers Alliance and whether he had ever been the subject of an investigation by the Indiana Department of Child Services, I’ve embedded the exchange here. The BMA was just wrapping up its news conference when I […]
Wednesday I attended a news conference held by the Baptist Ministers Alliance of Indianapolis. (Yes, I know where this is going too.)

The Indiana Recount Commission will hear the Charlie White voter fraud case today. You can watch it here. .

I was originally going to drive over to Cincinnati for an interview with U.S. Treasury Secretary Tim Geitner, unfortunately the Secretary cancelled at the last minute and […]
Yesterday, I posted a really bad joke on my Twitter account. I asked “what’s the definition of mass confusion?” The answer, “a Father’s Day picnic at 42nd and Post Road”. It’s actually a very old joke and easily adaptable to any social setting, take the former Governor of California, for example. And while a lot […]
I’m out-of-state today, but I wanted to take a few seconds and wish all you a Happy Father’s Day. If you don’t think fathers are important, drive around some parts of Indianapolis. If some people would do their jobs, the rest of us wouldn’t have to in the form of taxes, police and social services. […]
