HT's hard hitting political analysis on the local political stories has caught the attention of CNN. HT has been offered job to join Anderson Cooper, Wolf Blitzer, James Carville and the like, to analyze local races and politics. HT's two recent stories attracted viewers from all over the country which officials at CNN took notice of and offered HT a job. Only catch HT would have to withdraw from the big local Mayoral race. Equal time issues would come into play giving HT an even bigger advantage then he already has. HT has big decision to make Mayor or CNN analyst ???
H-T: The professors at the journalism school like your role on the award winning Bat-Blog. The mayoral race already offers something for everyone with TG, MM, RW, KV, MO, BI, and TBP. You have previously, and with great wit, pointed out KV has the best slogan race already locked up with "Kevin in '11". "Hanging out with Anderson Cooper, Wolf Blitzer, James Carville and the like, to analyze local races and politics" WOULD BE A VERY COOL GIG! You still would have plenty of time for the Bat-Blog and to take Tammy fishing !
ReplyDeleteH-T: Have you heard from either Goliath or Tammy this morning? Goliath reported that he received a large quantity of Jaegermeister over the week end in barter for some artwork and he seems to be MIA. Maybe you should have your sources check the various jail book in logs......
ReplyDeleteHe wasn't keeping company with one large football player was he ?? Michael Bush was seen being driven home by one Larry Wilder perhaps Goliath was in the back seat or trunk...
ReplyDeleteHave a big decision to make Hood, CNN or Mayor of Jeff. Which one allows me the most prestige ???
ReplyDeleteH-T: Hands down go for the journalist's gig! You get to POUND on the pols and they can't retaliate. The pols cam pound on each other's simplistic ideas and egotisitical 'tudes, but can't get back at the uppity "Third Estate". Besides, I am told that the "National Press Wizards" get the best chicks!
ReplyDeleteSounds like good advice Hood, but I would disappoint many loyal backers....
ReplyDeleteAnd Mrs. HT likes the idea of being First lady...
ReplyDeleteHoosier-Taxpayer': I just read on Golaith's forum that a "net stalker troll type" is putting down the concern for Tammy as "a made up little story". Humpf! As H-T has correctly pointed out, "Tammy is single mother working her way through college that likes to fish'. It is nice that both Golaith and H-T have platonic thoughts of "helping and such" for Tammy.
ReplyDeleteOK, DO BOTH! Take the CNN gig AND run for mayor! You can guarantee yourself GREAT PR coverage! Just have some phony poll ever so often and disclaimer ever now and then about "that you don't have a Liberal or Conservative bias and deny that your favor yourself. The Big Media boys promote it all the time about themselves already! Uh, PLEASE don't say that when you cover yourself "you get a tingle down your leg". That would be a bit much and Golaith would use it against you!
ReplyDeleteHmmm....interesting. If the ISP are soooo bored (!) that they just HAD to arrest Michael Bush at 5 AM on Court Avenue, it is possible they did surround and arrest potential passengers Tammy, P.W. , and G as well. Did they need the SWAT team?
ReplyDeleteTammy no way she would be caught dead with Goliath.. The girl has class
ReplyDeleteI, like the 'Hood, enjoy hoosier taxpayer running the BB. Don't quit for the CNN job. I also like the 'Hood's idea to do both. That would really bother the CCC! Anonymous Draino!
ReplyDeleteGoliath made bail at 7 am. Am told somebody make a anonymous tip that car was 'weaving' on 10th street. This have all the earmarks of a Pesty op.
ReplyDeleteAs for Tammy, Goliath not know what dad blasted lies she tell you HT, but this here french fry certainly try and hang around Compound until Sheba kick her out!!!
I thought Pesty was in Egypt ???
ReplyDeletePesty mission in Eygpt over Friday night.
ReplyDeleteH-T: I see that Goliath wants you on the Blue Ribbon Panel for the debate!This from GAW. Good job H-T! "fORMAT OF GAW DEBATE DETERMINED! The debate will be sponsored by GAW as it is feared by the superfluous CCC. All Jeffersonville mayoral candidates shall be invited, including Republicans, Democrats and New Tea Party persons.. All of those mayoral hopefuls that will be on the ballot in the spring and those that by restriction cannot appear until fall, shall be included. This will enliven the atmosphere and ensure all voices are heard in a fair and balanced manner. There shall be a four member panel of involved journalists composed of Goliath, Hoosier-Taxpayer as Bat Man himself, Pesty, and a person to be named by Goliath, possibly Erma Thrask. The moderator shall be the "Best There Ever Was", aka, "Roy Hobbs", aka, the Hon. Judge Daniel F. Donahue. The setting shall be that of a Roman Forum. All panelists and invited candidates shall be in costume en toto. No exceptions. Weapons shall be required by all in attendance as "an armed society is a polite society". All invited candidates shall be attended by at least two competent and still licensed members of the Clark County Bar Association (politicians can't be too careful). All participants shall be immune from prosecution and also immune from process servers of all kinds while going to, attending, or coming from the debate "while performing the people's sacred duties". There will be a dance contest in the middle of the debate featuring Pesty, NSBHM, and TG and their respective partner of choice. Sponsors of each of the dance contestants shall pay a substantial fee of cash shekels to Golaith before the contest. The winning dance team will win a one week supply of fresh chickens from the Goliath open air organic farmer's market behind the Olde Town Grocery. The panelists will rate and determine the winner of the dance contest. Also, in keeping with the mood of the electorate, there will be TWO themes for the debate! The first shall be the famous saying of President Bill Clinton: "The era of Big Government is over!". The second shall be "The taxpayers aren't cheap, they like to go first class!" More details will follow on the GAW and the Bat-Blog as they are worked out. "
ReplyDeleteH-T: It would be really cool if you started a thread about the debate on the CCC and made the first comment the post. It would be cool to call it: "Proposed Debate Format". As Goliath fears the "greeneggsandham' type landfill beatdown treatment, and H-T still has "landing rights" on the CCC, it would be cool if H-T posted it on the CCC. If not, maybe an associate of Tammy could do so! Many responces on the CCC would be guaranteed. I would say that it is OK to copy and paste as the piece is not in copyright and is covered under the journalistic "fair use doctrine". Proper attribution (of course) to Golaith should enrage some on the CCC.
ReplyDeleteA source "close to the controversy" says that there is a rumor that Tammy and Pesty have now departed for the Beltway in DC to work on "saving taxpayer funding" for PBS and NPR. What Pesty's angle is on this is unknown at this time. However, old secret files show that Pesty did once work for "The Voice of America" in the old days. Pesty has been known to use a "journalist" cover when on missions abroad.
ReplyDeleteHood, HT was sharply reprimanded on the CCC for just providing a link to GAW. To mention Goliath's debate proposal would undoubtably get HT the greeneggsandham treatment or worse yet banishment to the dreaded Chatterbox like Pesty was...
ReplyDeleteH-T: Maybe, suggest to the CCC readers that you will be on a distinguished panel asking questions at THE debate. The new "totally rad" format of the debate can be read about on a certain blog that features "a famous winged crime fighter" and another one that has a painting of a famous purveyor of chickens. HInt to them that they "can click on the picture of that mug" on the CCC itself to access the info. (The picture had its "writing" banned by the CCC politburo from an ad on the CCC!)
ReplyDeleteH-T: You had very thoughtful comments about Teresa Bottorff Perkins on the rival GAW's GCF section. H-T posted on GAW: "I must say Ms. Perkins makes for an intriguing candidate, a sort of non traditional candidate, well educated with lots of managerial experience, hasn't been tainted by the politics of Jeff, woman, well respected , no known skeletons in her closet other than maybe John. This could be a upset in the making, a lot of pluses for her. Hopefully voters won't associate the name Perkins as a negative and listen to HER agenda and her own merits......"
ReplyDeleteYes, H-T, the voters certainly now do have a very nice choice, in the spring and again in the fall, that fits the qualifications for an excellent mayoral candidate. (And putting her FORMER husband
"on the bricks" well and truly solved any association problem .
Hoosiertaxpayer, The 'Hood Hunts in a Pack put this on GAW. "This is from the online newsandtribune.com

Teresa Bottorff Perkins to run for Jeffersonville mayor
Former school administrator says she is ‘not a politician’
By MATT THACKER Matt.Thacker@newsandtribune.com The Jeffersonville News and Tribune Thu Feb 17, 2011, 04:57 PM EST
JEFFERSONVILLE — A longtime school administrator has joined the crowded Jeffersonville mayoral race.
Teresa Bottorff Perkins, 62, former assistant superintendent of New Albany-Floyd County Consolidated School Corp., filed paperwork Thursday becoming the fourth candidate to enter the Democratic primary.
She believes she is different from the other candidates.
“I am not a politician. I have 40 years of experience in education and administration,” Perkins said. “I’m very good at consensus and getting people to come together to come up with solutions.”
Although she worked in New Albany, she graduated from Jeffersonville High School and lived on Chestnut Street since 1979. Perkins knows one challenge is that she might be more well known in Floyd County despite living in Jeffersonville.
“I know I’ve got to get my name out there and let people know who I am, but I’m pretty confident in myself,” she said.
Prior to her retirement last year, Perkins worked 18 years in the New Albany-Floyd County administration building after working as a junior high school math teacher, counselor and principal.
“I’ve still got the fire in my belly,” she said. “I still want to do something. I can sell Jeffersonville wherever I go.”
Perkins said she is not upset with any of the other people running for mayor, and she wants to run a positive campaign.
“I don’t dislike them. I’m not going to bash them. I think I’m a viable alternative to what’s out there,” she said.
Perkins said her main focus will be on the economy and how the city is spending tax dollars, noting she has worked with $63 million budgets and a staff of about 700 employees through the school district. She said the city also needs to be more responsive to young people.
“My ego isn’t tied up in this. I’m not running for public office because I want to be mayor but because I think I can do something positive for Jeffersonville,” she said.
Perkins said, rather than a formal press conference with a podium like other candidates have had, she plans to kick off the campaign by inviting the press to her house to answer questions. No date has been scheduled, but the event will likely be held toward the end of next week, she said.
Friday is the final day for candidates to file for the primary election. Jeffersonville Mayor Tom Galligan, Clark County Council President Kevin Vissing and former mayor Rob Waiz have also entered the race on the Democratic side. Clark County Commissioner Mike Moore and 20-year-old college student Matthew Owens have filed as Republicans."
