Good Morning, Hoosier Access readers.

It’s no secret Matt Tully is in the tank for the Left. He’s not quite as obvious about as say, She Who Is Never Mentioned By Name Here By Me, but it’s pretty obvious. Of course with the exception of Gary Varvel the Rag is with little uncertainty a mouthpiece for the Liberal Left.

So what deserves a mention here on the favorite blog of Indiana Conservatives? This column blasting Mayor Greg Ballard.

“Mayor Greg Ballard is tired of putting his foot in his mouth” - He’s not. He’s tired of you twisting the words.

“Ballard’s administration has not been the most communicative in history.” - And you’re upset over it? Oh right he’s not playing mother-may-I and floating trial balloons in the media like the last clown that occupied the 25th Floor.

“But he’s a big boy, and if he doesn’t want to talk anymore, that’s his decision.” - Granted I don’t speak for The Colonel, but more than likely it’s not that he doesn’t want to talk. He just don’t want to talk to a bunch of moonbats at the Indianapolis Star that twist his words and take things out of context to suit an agenda. Then again this was the same Indianapolis Star that issued endorsements without talking to all of the candidates.

We just had a half hour podcast with Mayor Ballard last weekend - it’s available right here on Hoosier Access Radio. And Josh and myself will tell you we were not given a list of topics to discuss, nor did we edit any of the audio. Considering during the 2008 Marion County Slating which was also covered by Hoosier Access Radio, the Mayor stopped by the table to say hello. Josh invited the Mayor to sit down and we ended up doing an impromptu 20-30 minute interview with the Mayor. Wouldn’t that just blow chunks if you were Matt Tully and the Ryerson Rag? A bunch of bloggers having access to the Mayor and the Rag doesn’t? HA!

Let’s face it - the last person anyone - especially the Mayor of the nation’s 13th largest city - wants to talk to on a long airline flight is a political columnist who doesn’t really like his policies or stances on the issues in the first place. So what does Matt Tully do? Writes an excoriating column against the Mayor.

You’ve heard the saying - “Never pick an argument with someone who buys ink by the barrel or owns the broadcast tower”. Well we’re picking that argument with the ink folks. Frankly the age of the newspaper is fading. The blatent bias of newspapers - namely the Gannett chain - is clouding its journalistic objectivity. But what do we know we’re just a bunch of stinking bloggers. Never mind how several blogs including one now defunct blog helped spread the word the MSM never reported upon, exposing the Democrats for what they were and helping elect the Mayor into office.

If you subscribe to the Indianapolis Star, cancel your subscription. If you buy it at the corner Stop-and-Rob, save your money. No use feeding the Gannett propaganda machine any longer.

Just think, they’re all so smart and interesting…

I guess that makes everyone else so stupid and boring…

Isn’t it funny how people who are smart and interesting invariably turn out to be Democrats? That was the reaction I had when I found out that Linda Pence was the Democratic candidate for Attorney General of Indiana.

Let me say a couple of disclaimers right off. I’m not from Indiana. I don’t know what the issues are in this race. I don’t know anything about what’s going on in this campaign.

But I do know Linda Pence. I’ve known her as a lawyer for many years. She is really smart and tough as nails. She just seems like the kind of lawyer’s lawyer any state would want to have as its Attorney General.

I never really knew anything about her partisan political affiliations until I recently found out she was running as a Democrat for the Indiana AG. Again, all I knew was that she is a great lawyer and a smart, funny, and interesting person. It should have been obvious that she was a Democrat.

She’s no relation to the right-wing nutjob Mike Pence who is a Congressperson in Indiana. And I see that the Wall Street Journal recently took a swipe at her for being a “trial lawyer” who would be tough on corporations. Sounds like a pretty good endorsement to me.

Anybody who is in Indiana should know that they’ve got a great AG candidate in their state.

Only lefty crazies would think that a trial lawyer with a reputation for defending corrupt Democrats would make a good attorney general.

Now, I haven’t posted much about Linda Pence lately (something for which I intend to remedy soon with yet more information on her shadiness), but let’s review her record for a bit.
