It Would Pay To Stay On Message, Greg

March 15th, 2010 · 2 Comments

Greg Fischer says one thing on Twitter:

35 different union reps chose not to endorse.
Maybe somebody shouldn’t have told everybody else that they were going to score the major endorsement.

Tuesday Morning Dept Of Cat Farming & Tolling

March 9th, 2010 · 1 Comment

Those aren’t coyotes, they’re just really big cats that have escaped Rep. Joni Jenkins’ cat farm in Shively. [WFPL]
