COULD IT BE THAT NEGATIVE CAMPAIGNING AND NAME CALLING HAS A DOWNSIDE???

Caveat:  Hey, Newsweek means Gay in policy, not personally, right?  Or was all of this orchestrated to take the sting out of several blackmailers’ threats?   An interesting question, is it not?  (Especially when one considers Van Jones’ comments a few weeks back:  http://www.advocate.com/news/daily-news/2012/04/03/van-jones-even-if-obama-were-gay-hed-still-win-black-vote

The most recent tip received on the Kuker/Goeglein shootings: Kuker bought a gun from Freedom Firearms a week before he was shot. As of now, this is unconfirmed. Also, police appear to have been pulled off surveillance of the home of Faegre Baker Daniels attorney Tim Haffner, however increased patrols in the neighborhood are still present.

Last night’s Philharmonic concert was all about death, rather a bit un-Springlike on first glance.

The opening piece was Beethoven’s ode to Prometheus, the Greek god whose vital organs are devoured each day by a ravenous bird sent by a vengeful god only that those organs might regenerate overnight so poor Prometheus might endure the painful death each subsequent day. That overture was followed by Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring which focuses on the ritual pre-meditated murder of a virgin who is encouraged to dance herself to death in front of the village elders. And, finally, to make sure death was driven home like a draculean stake, the last piece, a mammoth presentation by 100 singers, forty or so musicians and four adept soloists, was Mozart’s Requiem written to commemorate one death and largely incomplete when the great master himself slumped his last time. Death was in the air. Read the rest of this entry »

Okay. Here’s what my sources are telling me.

Jeffrey Goeglein

I’m now told that Jeffrey Goeglein purportedly shot David Kuker. Reason? No one is saying at this point.

However, I’m told that evidence found has DNA matching and connecting Goeglein to the Kuker shooting. I’m also informed that Goeglein purportedly shot into the window of his house to throw the investigators off their trail.

The plot thickens. More as this develops.

Marty Bender gently supported his father-in-law as he enter the polling station yesterday afternoon. The old gentleman had a broad smile on his face as he pulled out his photo ID, confirmed his address and then slowly moved to the electronic booth. You could tell the wizened veteran of a few hundred elections was proud to be there to do his part again. Marty beamed. He was so very proud to be with the elderly gentleman, it was his honor to provide that big helping hand. It was one of many heart-warming moments to the polling place on the city’s near south side.

There was the young woman casting her very first vote. There were the new immigrants welling with pride at their first votes in their new and beloved homeland. A tall man, reduced by illness, road an electric scooter into his both. He slumped, his hands were unsteady, but he cast his vote. Three or four people loudly bitched about having to chose D or R, expressing their desire for an open ballot. A neighborhood leader came by, a woman voted who will soon go on a church mission to central Europe, a financial planner did his duty as did a sooty steel worker, housewives, retirees, men eschewing lunch for a chance to vote, widows and widowers. It was nice to see children tugging at mom’s apron as she explained her civic duty. “What,” one child asked, “is a vote?” For twelve hours the polling station was open and the best of the neighborhood came through to add their voice to election day. Each person had a story to tell, each person proud and determined to vote. Read the rest of this entry »

Part two comes in November, when the state goes Red and we beat Democrat Joe Donnelly like a drum!

Here is where you can donate to the Mourdock for Senate campaign — Lugar is not lost until we put someone better in his place, so keep marching toward “Indiana atones” part two.
