My Run-in With A Wingnut

So on my way to work yesterday, I’m at a stoplight and there’s some jackass in a beat up red pickup who has been swerving and tailgating me for a good chunk of Emerson Ave. My windows are down as it was a nice morning and I hear the guy driving the truck yell something [...]

Welcome baaack, to that same old place that you laughed about

Someone shoot me. I just made a “Welcome Back Kotter” reference.

Jill Long Thompson Is RUnning A Shitty Campaign

I want to get Mitch Daniels out of the Governor’s Mansion very badly (privatizing everything left and right, killing local government budgets for the sake of state budgets are the big reasons). But how the FUCK am I supposed to vote for a Democrat when all that Dem does is pander [...]

Random Dude From Delphi Unwittingly Sums Up Property Tax Debate

Via Masson’s Blog, this choice little quote from a guy in Delphi re: the property tax bill Mitch Daniels is due to sign today and the fallout for local communities and schools:
Bill Hasser, a Delphi resident, said he is happy to see property tax relief but doesn’t want to see cuts result from it, especially [...]

Hey Fox, Watch This Henhouse For Me

A little tidbit from the star caught my eye in Google Reader today:
Gov. Mitch Daniels appointed a former phone company attorney to represent ratepayers in utility matters.
David Stippler, an attorney with Bingham, McHale, LLP, will be the new the state’s Utility Consumer Counselor. He previously worked 17 years at Ameritech, a predecessor of AT&T.
Wow. Nothing [...]
