Perry, Perry, Quite Ordinary

Thursday, October 13th, 2011

Whenever someone asked me my impression of Republican Presidential candidate Rick Perry I always said he reminded me of a movie where the best part is the trailer.  So when I had the chance to see him up close and personal, I was hoping to be proven wrong and maybe I had judged him unfairly.  […]

Indy Vision

Wednesday, October 12th, 2011

A while back I wrote about my “vision” for Indianapolis in the wake of this year’s Mayoral and City-County Council races.  I expanded on that concept and wrote about it in today’s edition of the Indianapolis Star.  Feel free to check it out.

Misplaced Priorities

Wednesday, October 5th, 2011

As much as I really love this city, there are days when its citizens disappoint me as much as its football team.  Usually it’s the people who defend Indianapolis Public Schools, township government, or latch on to the race hustlers when they come to town to stir things up while lining their own pockets.  This […]

Indianapolis Is…

Saturday, September 24th, 2011

Can you finish this sentence is three words or less, “Indianapolis is…”  I’ll be interested in reading the responses.

Georgia Not on My Mind

Thursday, September 22nd, 2011

There are days when I am reminded I am not from here.  The people who opposed daylight savings time, defended township government, etc.  Now it’s all about Georgia Street.  As you probably know the city is looking at changing the name of Georgia Street in time for the Super Bowl, more importantly it’s spending more […]

The “Vision” Thing

Thursday, September 8th, 2011

There has been a lot of talk about “vision” in the current race for Mayor of Indianapolis.  I have always said that “vision” is a lot like beauty, it’s in the eye of the beholder.  However, I took some time yesterday to really think about that concept of “vision”.   Now that I am in business […]

Kennedy For IPS School Board

Tuesday, August 23rd, 2011

Indianapolis Democratic Mayoral candidate Melina Kennedy sent out a second mailer this week.*  She continues to push education, although the Mayor has a limited role in education in the city. I did notice something in her mailer, when she talks about failing schools she is referring only to Indianapolis Public Schools, not the township, charters […]

Look For the Union Labels

Wednesday, March 9th, 2011

Check this out.  As you know there’s a big rally slated for the Capitol tomorrow by the unions to protest the Republican agenda.  Protests are fine, that’s what America is all about.  However, when your goal is to do harm to the Indianapolis economy, we have a problem.  Don’t believe me, read the first page […]

Thursday’s Thoughts

Thursday, February 17th, 2011

Once again, I have a lot of little things to report on that worth a mention or two so here they are. Indiana State Treasurer Richard Mourdock is formally announcing next week he’s going to challenge incumbent U.S. Senator Dick Lugar.   Mourdock was reportedly at C-PAC making the rounds and made a lot of contacts […]

Clam Up and Charter Up

Tuesday, February 8th, 2011

In today’s episode of the battle over education reform, two of the state’s biggest teachers unions have scheduled rallies in Indianapolis, Anderson and East Chicago to protest what Indiana lawmakers are doing at the statehouse. I think it’s rather ironic the Indiana Federation of Teachers and the State Teachers Association chose two school districts that […]
