Condescending left doesn’t get Hoosiers
A few thoughts after reading the Jan. 4 Q&A with Joe Donnelly’s campaign strategist, Peter Hanscom. His obvious arrogance and disdain for folks not in possession of a college degree and implication of them in his candidate’s loss sent me straight to my keyboard without even finishing the interview.

Private equity firm’s bid for Gannett is bad news for IndyStar, Indianapolis
Every city needs a great daily newspaper. And so it has been frustrating to watch over the years as Gannett Co. has reduced the staff at The Indianapolis Star, which it purchased in 2000.
