It seems that Diamond Jim Schellinger doesn’t like Jill Long Thompson pointing out that he made his fortune on the backs of Indiana property tax payers.

So his company is threatening to sue her.

Why?

Because her campaign dared to use photos of buildings that he and his firm designed.

Photos.

As if you could be sued by dozens of architects for merely taking pictures of the skyline of New York City; don’t tell the folks that made the intro for Law & Order.

Amber Alert issued for Indiana. Information is at the link HERE.

The website Amber Alert describes a Kia as the getaway vehicle, though the alert just broadcast through Comcast cable describes the abductor as driving a stolen Gray Pontiac Montana (which is a mini-van).

*Update* - Here’s a website to signup for Amber Alerts on your Cell Phone:  https://www.wirelessamberalerts.org

Another fun filled Monday night at the City-County Building. You can find the Uhgender HERE. Check back after 7:00 PM for the commentary.

It appears the cats are away in 2008 and the ‘Rats are playing. According to an article on Polis Politics, there is still a lack of a quorum at the Federal Election Commission. The lack of a quorum is in part because of parliamentary procedure carried out by … wait for it … BARACK OBAMA! It appears the public financing funds (you know that $3 from your 1040 form every year which I personally check “NO” to…) are held in limbo and Sen. McCain may not have access to those funds without a quorum at the FEC.

Meanwhile Democrat candidates seem free to flaunt federal campaign finance law and no penalty will result, even when presented with clear evidence by hardworking folks like Jacob Perry.

Governor Mitch Daniels has announced his endorsement of incumbent State Representative Mike Murphy (R-District 90) for the May 6th Primary Election.

“Mike Murphy has been a terrific partner in moving Indiana forward. He has shown courage and leadership in helping pass historic property tax cuts and authored the telecommunications legislation that has created thousands of new jobs and attracted several hundred million dollars in investment,” Governor Daniels said. “Please support Mike’s continued leadership in the statehouse.”

State Representative Mike Murphy has represented south-suburban Indianapolis since 1994. He is currently Ranking Minority Member of the House Technology, Research and Development Committee. Mike also serves on the Veterans Affairs and Public Safety, and Government and Regulatory Reform Committees. He is a former member of the Ways and Means, Public Policy, Rules, Labor, Education, Agriculture, and Families and Children Committees.

In a fitting similarity to what appears to be the biggest political crash-and-burn in ages, the once unquestioned Democrat nominee for President has seen her campaign HQ in Terre Haute go up in flames.

The cause is under investigation. Hopefully it wasn’t arson, and no political opponents were involved.

It seems yet another campaign aide has jumped ship over at the Schellinger campaign. If it weren’t for bad news, Jim Schellinger wouldn’t have any news at all. You can read about it at Frugal Hoosiers and the Ryerson Rag.

I know that my Redeemer lives, and that in the end he will stand upon the earth.

(Job 19:25 - NASB)

———————————————————————-

On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb. They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them. In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, “Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here; He has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee: ‘The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.’ ” Then they remembered his words.

(Luke 24:1-8 - NIV)

Happy Easter everyone!

When they came to the place called the Skull, there they crucified him, along with the criminals—one on his right, the other on his left. Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” And they divided up his clothes by casting lots.

The people stood watching, and the rulers even sneered at him. They said, “He saved others; let him save himself if he is the Christ of God, the Chosen One.”

The soldiers also came up and mocked him. They offered him wine vinegar and said, “If you are the king of the Jews, save yourself.”

There was a written notice above him, which read:THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

One of the criminals who hung there hurled insults at him: “Aren’t you the Christ? Save yourself and us!”

But the other criminal rebuked him. “Don’t you fear God,” he said, “since you are under the same sentence? We are punished justly, for we are getting what our deeds deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong.”

Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.”

Jesus answered him, “I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise.”

It was now about the sixth hour, and darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour, for the sun stopped shining. And the curtain of the temple was torn in two. Jesus called out with a loud voice, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.” When he had said this, he breathed his last. The centurion, seeing what had happened, praised God and said, “Surely this was a righteous man.”

(Luke 23: 33-47 - NASB)
