I don't know about Melina's "balls" but she certainly has a much better mind and ideas than Ballard.

I remember a friend of mine who met Ballard back when he first started his campaign stating that "Ballard is a nice guy but not the sharpest tool in the shed". Boy Bonnie was right on the money! I am not a big Melina fan but maybe a woman will turn out (of course I won't bet on it ;) ) to have bigger balls then the mayor. I can dream can't I!

Yes, a tool, a consummate deliberating LIAR, that is Matt Tully. Two thumbs down to his column.

As said before, it's not that Mr. Tully can't write well. His pieces on the Phoenix apartments and Manual High School were comprehensive works that benefited the entire community.

Unfortunately, there are more demographics in the community than "the needy" and the "power elite" that need even-handed investigative journalism. For example, there's a cross-demographic uprising of citizens who are tired of majority opinions being ignored on health care "reform", illegal immigration, and the size and corruption of government.

Mainstream media's catering to political correctness and sneering against citizen opposition flaunts this angry majority. A majority that believe they're supposed to try to be productive in working and raising children, that government is suppossed to help by staying out of the way, and that productive citizens are due the same respect as the poor, politicians, law firms, and sports team owners.

Ballard and Kennedy are just different snapshots of the same cancerous tumor of corruption that rules the city. If it's so damned essential to pretend our medium market is "big" with our sports teams, why can't Indianapolis have the "big" political reporting to go with it?

"...whether the law firm of Barnes & Thornburg or Bakes & Daniels is going to be running the city for the next four years."

Sadly, Gary, I think that about sums it up.

Tully = "tool".

I don't think real people take him all that seriously.

Remember how he knew about Julia Carson's mental decline, but didn't tell his readers, as if they didn't have the right to know that their Congresswoman could barely get a vote for herself cast on polling day?

That's when I knew what kind of person Matt Tully is for sure.
