• NWI -- The Corruption Capital of the Nation

  Number of comments: 0
  After twenty plus years of watching NWI and Chicago politics, I can unequivocally say that NWI is an easy match to Chicago in political corruption. I am sure Lake County was a good study of Chicago politics but it has surpassed it because there is absolutely no control from media [...]

• Obama Prepares Enemies List and Re-Education Camps

  Number of comments: 0
  Barack Obama and his campaign have shown their total disregard for American values and the nature of the American political system. Three newspapers who endorsed his opponent have had their reporter thrown off his campaign plane and their credentials revoked. The following is an outline of the breaking story: "PURGE: [...]

• Indiana's Obama Campaign is Sinking Fast

  Number of comments: 8
  Senator Barack Obama was finally in Northwest Indiana (NWI) today, speaking in Munster, Indiana. Maybe it was just me, but it seemed as if the people of NWI had little care for this fact. His appearance might be described as "elitist" considering that it was by invitation only, which means [...]

• It's the People, Stupid!!!

  Number of comments: 1
  This past Saturday night (1/26/08) at the Black & White Ball, which honors and raises funds for the Ophilia Steen Center in Hammond, I was asked by a local politician why he had not heard from me for a while, i.e. no new commentaries. Honestly, I really couldn't answer the [...]

• Lake County Needs to Continue the American Revolution

  Number of comments: 0
  Traditional American political values always presumed that the best government was the one closest to the people. The reason for this is that government close to the people would be more easily controlled and influenced by the citizens, whose lives the elected officials effected. To keep elected officials under control, [...]

• The Hammond NWI Christmas Spirit

  Number of comments: 2
  The following Christmas ode was written by "The Preacher," a NWI radio personality on WJOB radio. It is currently published on the NWI Discussion Boards. In the interest of the season, I thought it should be shared by everyone in the great State of Indiana. All Hoosiers deserve a good [...]

• Hammond Mayor's Garbage in and Garbage Out

  Number of comments: 1
  Mayor Baby Mac has continued to implement the negative management of the City of Hammond that I have been critical of all along with the new clarification of the financial cost of the City to its citizens. The Hammond City finances continue to spiral out of control with no serious [...]

  The Lake County Government Council is about to vote on implementing a local county income tax. An individual income tax of 1% on income earned in Lake County. The overall affect of this tax will be to dramatically shift funds from south Lake County to the northern cities of Lake [...]

• How to Spin an Ugly Duckling Into a Princess!!!

  Number of comments: 2
  The suck-ups to Mayor Tom McDermott, Jr, (Baby Mac) have been out in force spinning his election win in every way but the truth. Only in the minds of midgets (or the other way around) or people on drugs can the mayoral election in Hammond be described as anything but [...]

• Munster Needs to Stay Independent; No Democrats Allowed

  I just received the usual campaign literature from the Democratic Party of Munster trying to make a case for why a citizen of Munster, Indiana should vote for a Democrat. Since the campaign literature lumped all the Democratic candidates together as a group and gave their platform as one united [...]

  Number of comments: 0
  Dan Repay for Lake County Commissioner? Say it isn't so. This blog called the bait and switch scheme by Repay and his "boss" Baby Mac in previous blogs here, here, and here. These previous blogs argued that Repay and Baby Mac were cooking-up this scheme starting before the Hammond City [...]

• Cantrell, Patronage, and Election Fixing

  Number of comments: 2
  The buffoons at The Times newspaper published a story, that they made sure to "hold" until after the election so as to ensure the re-election of Baby Mac to Mayor of Hammond. The story is of how Baby Mac's super-qualified wife (as evidenced by the number of high-profile law firms [...]

• Baby Mac Sent Back to the Nursery

  Number of comments: 3
  The local elections -- the ones for mayors, city and town councils and clerk-treasurers -- are now completed in Indiana. The results are not surprising. Indianapolis returned to sanity and returned the mayorship and City/County council back to the Republicans. Greg Ballard is the new Mayor and Bart Peterson's political [...]
