Let the “War on Christmas” Begin
I know we’re just a couple days into the holiday season, but it’s never too late to start talking about the “War on Christmas”. You know the time when people get upset because someone wished them “Happy Holidays” instead of “Merry Christmas”. They then go on ad nauseum to say America is continuing to slide away from it’s Judeo-Christian foundation. Well, being the agnostic-Muslim that I am, I decided to remind folks that a lot of the things rooted in Christmas tradition (courtesy of The History Channel) have nothing to with Jesus.

Happy Turkey Day!!!
I want to take a few moments to wish all the readers of Indiana Barrister a Happy Thanksgiving. This will be a special one for me for a couple of reasons. This will be the first one with my lovely wife and as some of you may be aware, my Dad has serious health issues this year, but is doing great now. I’m thankful for both of them, as well as my friends and close family. I’m also thankful for all of you who read the blog, listen to the radio show and watch me on television. Enjoy your Thanksgiving. I’ll be back with more gossip, rumor and blatant innuendo next week. Gobble! Gobble!

It’s Not What It Is, It’s What It Looks Like
There’s a story about a guy who works on a sheep ranch. That day his wife tells him they have a dinner party to attend that evening, but he has to work later than usual, so he takes his suit with him. After spending the day working, the man gathers the sheep in the barn. He then takes off his clothes to jump in the shower and change. While he’s in mid-change, the farmer walks in and sees him naked in a barn full of sheep. You can imagine the image. I bring this up in light of the FBI raid of the downtown offices of local businessman Tim Durham. Du

Monday Morning Mayoral Musings
Although 2010 is a few days away, it never hurts to take a sneak peak at 2011 and the Indianapolis Mayor’s race. Here’s what I’ve heard so far. Brian Williams has put together what could be considered the first political ad of the season. Melina Kennedy is touting another Union endorsement, that makes two if you’re counting. Expect a formal announcement soon from Jose Evans on his candidacy. I hear former Lt. Governor and Indianapolis City Controller
