In the same [Aug. 27 Hetrick column] that tells the reader how “…citizens of third-world countries line up for
miles, hours and even days to cast ballots…” he also tells the reader that votes in the United States are being
suppressed because we close the polls at 6:00?

After reading Chris O’Malley’s [Aug. 13] article “More trees to get the ax along Central Canal,” I
wondered what compelled him to include such a liberal amount of speculations of local antagonist Clarke Kahlo when so many
credible sources are available for comment.

Bill Herrick’s op-ed “Run government like a business” [Aug. 20] called for government to take a less-active
role in the affairs of business and to run itself like a business. I couldn’t agree more.

Kathleen McLaughlin’s [July 28] story about state fund investing reminded of a problem in institutional investing today:
vague and imprecise language.

Once again, Bill Benner [July 30] misses a key point in the NCAA’s handling of Penn State when he applauds the NCAA’s
“courage and swift response” in his hypothetical reaction to it being his son subjected to sodomy in the Penn
State locker room showers.

The NCAA president and executive board overstepped their authority by imposing very harsh penalties on the Penn State football
program and by extension on the entire university.

Rather than a pocket guide to the Supreme Court ruling (it did accomplish that, sort of) [Rusthoven, July 9], this is a pocket
guide to the laboriously crafted Republican response to the Supreme Court ruling on the Affordable Care Act.

Sheila Kennedy [July 16] discusses the Islam of her imagination, the Islam of every progressive’s dreams, Islam without
several of its crucial features and articles of belief—holy war, martyrdom and the treatment of non-believers.

Sheila Suess Kennedy’s July 16 op-ed “This time, Sharia law misunderstood” contains numerous misconceptions
and errors about the legislation she purports to address, American Laws for American Courts (ALAC). Space permits me to address
only three.

Great [July 9 Styring column] on the Speedway. I hope those in control of that magnificent and historic venue take those thoughts

After listening to the testimony during the June 5 City-County Council committee meeting, and speaking with both supporters
and opponents of the proposed domestic partner benefits, I noticed a common theme of “this will make Indianapolis more
competitive.” This is untrue.

Laura-the festivals and tastings are free. What does is strengthen the sense of community with activities. What are those empty lots doing for the Village? it's sad you can't see the good that this progress can do for the area. No one is requiring anyone to shop there. I guess you'd rather see a Dollar store move in or no, we'd rather see the property stand empty b/c change is out of the question.
Read down to the part about Brizzi. Someone needs to subpoena his "purchases" of Red RockPictures and Cellstar and his corresponding bank records, I mean c'mon, I'd like to see his alcohol usage records, too. http://diana-vice.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Wonder if my neighborhood can advertise our "retention" pond and act like it is a beach too?
a new record at the '11 salebration until they realized that it was a futile effort to get their crapwagon moter and crapwagon car up speed. And then they just quietly slunk off into the night and never spoke of it again. Nothing to see here folks.
millions for putting a company's bumper sticker on one of its Lolas. But you gotta take what you can get.
