Update on the Oracles Minions....The Oracle Slithers Out of his Hole

   As expected the Orifice slithered out of his hole or is it a garbage can he resides in today, but  no matter. In fact he was probably egged on by some of his pin headed followers who pleasured themselves with more of the Orifice's venom and bad taste .

   It was the usual cast of whackos who responded quickly to the Orifice's post, making sure to throw in more sleazy, slanderous,  accusations and lies for good measure. You can pretty well judge someone by the company he keeps or in this case the fans that he draws. In this case a couple of border line degenerates are allowed and encouraged to produce slander at the Mayor's expense....But it was to be expected as this Heckle and Jeckle duo have filled the internet with this garbage for years, way before the mayor was elected. You can take this type of filth and accusations and throw it out the window when you consider the source...

  The Orifice's merry band of  minions who dutifully sit by their computers waiting for the next putrid installment of hate, bad taste and jealousy. Hoping they will be chosen next to be fictitiously portrayed in the Orifice's Live interview another of his weak attempts at humor mostly at the Mayor's expense...

  Carry on Orifice your 5 or 6 worshipers await you .....


** Note** There are some fine people that out of curiosity I'm sure, follow and read the Oracle. The mindless worshipers are the obvious ones, the usual suspects. If you read their comments they make an ass out of themselves and  destroy any  semblance of a chance this site might garner any bit of respectability....If any of the fine people (you know who you are) that read the Oracle and were offended by this post ...I sincerely apologize.....It's time for the hate to end in Jeff politics  HT

The Oracle and His Minions...Let the Salivating Begin

   I'm sure the  all the Orifices lemming like drones and minions are drooling over the next episode of the Oracles Lounge hoping their Svengali will join them in their salivating frenzy over Mayor Mike Moore's recent and recurring personal problems. The recent domestic disturbance is the type of thing these people thrive and exist for. They revel in a sad , tragic personal events that have befallen the mayor in the last few months just because of the political fact he defeated "their" boy in last years election. It doesn't matter they might embarrass, confuse, hurt  innocent family members some of whom are minor children, they just like to kick the man while he's down, just because he defeated "their" boy.

   Just because "their" boy lost they forget the new mayor is a human being and that he might be hurting on the breakup of his family of over 20 years, they forget there is nothing more traumatic  (other than death) than divorce to children. They forget because they have no conscience for personal grieving it's about that all important political one uppance they have achieved no matter if it came at a personal cost not a political one.

 Yes it's all over the Internet Blogs and Forums how the mayor has embarrassed these minions of the Orifice and embarrassed the City of Jeffersonville . I say  "give me a break"  this City has been an embarrassment politically, socially and in many other ways since they ran Dale Orem out of office.

   Just in the past few years we have seen the City Attorney in the National news lying drunk in a trash can, one City or County office after another suing each other wasting taxpayer dollars, a mayor who started one project after another without obtaining the proper permits required by law. One  elected City official didn't even bother to show up for work for nearly 2 years and was still paid. City officials exchanging e-mails about  the mayor and then leaking them to the Orifice. A City Councilman's solution to the tripling of sewer bill was for us to by new flappers for our toilets. A decaying  practically abandoned downtown area to go along with the decaying and poorly designed traffic infrastructure. And in the middle of all this in their collective small minds City officials annexed residents who wanted  no part of the City of Jeffersonville promising them free trash pick up (woo hoo) and no tax increases. Which was a lie, taxes have gone up and they are threatening our "half ass" garbage pickup will soon be charged.

 Look around no decent clothing stores (except Kohl's), no home improvement stores, no movie theaters, no public golf course, nothing ,nothing  nothing . And Mike Moores an embarrassment because he's getting divorced...My god the whole place is an embarrassment ....especially the mindless drones (excluding Jules, Goliath and a couple others) that worship the Orifice....

A Little Advice to Clarksville....Stay a Town

  According to the News/Tribune Clarksville is contemplating on whether to make the move from a town to a city. A little advice Clarksville,  STAY A TOWN. Just look south to your sister City Jeffersonville, you already have more amenities, better roads, better retail shopping, more and better restaurants than Jeff without the much over rated title of "City".

 The only thing the designation of City will bring you is more Politicians, which brings more gridlock, political infighting and more waste of tax dollars. You are doing quite fine with your small City Council, Council President and smaller government. You already have things that Jeffersonville would love to have, better infrastructure,  amenities (public golf course, fine variety of retail stores and dining) lower taxes and reasonable sewer bills.

 Now if you want petty bickering between politicians, wasting tax dollars by one office suing the other, leaking e-mails from office to office about each other, money wasted and higher taxes then maybe you should become a City. Maybe even a 2nd Class City like Jeff recently attained by annexing in unwilling citizens.

 What does 2nd Class city status get you ?? Well in Jeff's case you get a terrible traffic patterns and road infrastructure, a dead downtown area, no movie theaters, no public golf course. No Lowes,  no Best Buy , no Dillards but on the positive side Jeff does have 27 pizza places, 18 banks (to spend your money elsewhere), higher property taxes, outrageous sewer bills and as  reminder of our outstanding sewer system a permeating stench emanating from our sewer improvements as you enter the City.....Aaah the privileges of a 2nd class City...

Clarksville Be Smart, Stay A Town !!!

Banned and Deleted from the Chatter

 NSBHM posted a new topic on the Chatter about who was writing  The City News Letter which you can read here   City News Letter.

I thought the whole topic was mere B.S. and responded accordingly and the Big Q. deleted it as a personal attack.....Which is more BS, sure I disagree with  NSBHM but I respect him and his dedication to city government but I will call him out on it on occasion and lampoon him and other political figures and commentators. But it is 100% not personal. Personal is when you delve into someone's personal life...or physically threaten a person. Politics is politics and every thing is fair game on issues but when you spread lies and innuendo about anyone's personal life like the Oracle and some of friends do that is crossing the line of decency in my opinion.

As far as the newletter, do you think there is anybody who really cares who writes this. My gosh most people just throw it away... anyway here is my banned post....
*********************************************************************************************************************
                                          BANNED POST



Mrs. HT lines the kitty litter box with City News Letter and the cat could care less who wrote it, like 99% of Jeff residents. It's a total waste of time and money that nobody reads and has been useless since TG started it as a campaign tool.

Of course Beavis and ButtHead  (NHBSM and Oracle) read it because it's another thing they can bash the mayor with..... but nobody else could care a rat's a s s  about it or who wrote it...

December - Jeffersonville City Council News Letter Parody

   As you know the Jeff  City Council was outraged about their lack of publicity in the Jeffersonville City News letter. With that in mind we will publish monthly, a news letter dedicated solely to the Council in order for them to get their just amount of publicity.
Today we present the December issue.....

Spend 15 Minutes With the Homeless Day

To show that YOUR City Council isn't insensitive to the needs of all residents of Jeffersonville including the homeless. Your City Council sponsored a "Spend 15 minutes With the Homeless Day" Where members spent 15 solid minutes talking and listening to their concerns. Council members while truly concerned,  pointed out to the homeless residents how much better they would be in New Albany, Clarksville, Louisville or even Pekin has a lot to offer. When brought up to the attending council members that they vetoed a zoning request that would have allowed a homeless shelter to be opened in downtown Jeff,  they said they had to go  that their City paid limo was waiting for them for a luncheon meeting at Kye's.....

Cowboy Recognition Day

To recognize "Cowboy" Jeffersonville's most famous resident YOUR City council declared Dec. 2 as "Cowboy Recognition Day" as each member dressed like a Cowboy at the scheduled City Council Meeting.  And encouraged everyone else to do so, and to wear your Cowboy outfit to the next Jeff High basketball game

Is He Gay ???

1. Is SpongeBob gay?
In 2002, series creator Stephen Hillenburg countered rumors that SpongeBob SquarePants is gay, saying the character is "somewhat asexual." But the questions persist. The evidence: His best friend is an "ebullient pink starfish" named Patrick; his neighbor Squidward takes bubble baths, listens to classical music, and "talks like Paul Lynde"; and SpongeBob and Patrick occasionally hold hands while watching a TV show called The Adventures of Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy. "You do the math, folks,"says the Gay Financial Network.

The Oracle's Followers - Censored

   Seems like the BatBlog's post last week on the Orifice has ruffled the feathers of some of his followers. Several obscene filled replies had to be censored and deleted due to some very crude language and content. HT normally detests censorship and is open to criticism, but these went beyond good taste.  I guess I should have expected as such , with the Oracle good taste , civility , truth and decency are pretty much not in his vocabulary....

                                            THE ORACLE UNMASKED

    The Oracle's return includes many  ALLEGED  conversations with some Republicans of  "notability." With that in mind The BatBlog  sent it's investigative team out to look into these supposed conversations and the "Orifice" err Oracle in general. Speaking with several top rank Democrats and Republicans and one City Councilman who only spoke on the promise of anonymity the BatBlog discovered some interesting information concerning the Oracle.

                                                  Oracle's Identity
     There has been much speculation on the identity of the Oracle and when asked the city Councilman who preferred to remain anonymous chuckled and replied the Oracle is the brainchild of old political enemies of the mayor many of whom contribute to the lies, personal innuendos that is the Oracle's method of operation. He went on to state that the Oracle consists of the usual subjects you might suspect from a former administration,  one of whom slithered out of a trash can where he resides on occasion, he said jokingly.

                                                     How it Operates
     Another prominent Democrat stated  you notice how the Orifice never names names it's always someone he bumped into. That's because these individuals he bumps into are basically a figment of the Orifice's collective imagination. He also shook his head and stated that's just the way these people operate, if you can't beat the mayor at the ballot box print lies, personal barbs, sleazy innuendo in an attempt to undermine him, with no regards to common decency or the families that might be effected by the lies and rumors.


                                                     On Switching Parties
     The BatBlog also talked to a prominent Republican in the know and asked him about the Orifice's claim of some Republicans being upset with the GOP accepting the mayor who was a former Dem. He stated of course there was some upset about it, but politically, party affiliation is basically not a big issue in City races a and the mayor if he choose to run for reelection he will be welcomed by party leaders. He is a proven, popular vote getter it would be stupid for the GOP to turn their back on him, he stated.


                                                     Local Watchdog
     The BatBlog also spoke to a higher up in the Democratic Party about the local self appointed "watchdog" who after campaigning for the mayor is now his biggest critic. He roared with laughter and said that's his method of operation, he did the same thing with the previous administration. He has  an exaggerated sense of importance like the Oracle  and feels he can effect the public's  perception and elections..... the fact of the matter 95% of voters don't follow all this political bullshit and could care less.

                                                     Final Thoughts

    Finally one local, well respected party leader and political observer concluded, I wouldn't put too much stock or believe anything printed by the Oracle, you have to consider the source and realize their agenda and that basically all they pander to are people that didn't vote for the mayor anyway....everybody else realizes it's more politics and lies and your basic bullshit from a bunch losing crybabies and narcissists ...

HAPPY THANKSGIVING FROM THE BATBLOG

Suing The City Council

Come on mayor Moore  if you really want to try and work withe City Council taking them to court might not be the best approach. The County has been doing this for years (suing other departments) and it's only made them a laughing stock but put us more in debt, and some lawyers a lot of money. It could be a long 3 years ..

Whose Getting the Most Publicity ???? The Jeffersonville City Newsletter

  Mayor Mike Moore and the Jeff City Council are at it again. The Council seems to feel Mayor Mike is getting all the kudos and publicity and like two toddlers fighting over a tricycle "That's not fair." It all began with the Council moving recently fired Communications Director Leah Farris to the Parks Dept. and now the bickering continues over who the new CD will answer to and the funding of the position.

  The BatBlog has heard the Council would like to hire the Oracle as CD, who has previously held that position and has a close, secret relationship with several of the Council  members. With that in mind the BatBlog has obtained several photos ops of how the Council would like  City News Letter to look in order for the Jeffersonville City Council to get their due amount of Publicity....

Clark County Chatter Down

  Well it took only 3 days of GrumpyGranny's absence and the CCC is down. What happened  ?? Lots of rumors flying from the word on the street. The most logical is that technically challenged Administrators Quasar and MBHeights started fooling around with settings and blew up the server. Another possibility being thrown around is that AN (banned 3 times) hired a hacker who hacked into the system and deleted most of the files. A hostile takeover by Goliath, Goliath (technically challenged himself) sent YMC with new software he obtained in China has uploaded a Chinese Virus in  hopes of reviving the hopelessly dead and always boring Goliath's Coliseum forum is another rumor out there. Any one out there who has heard any other rumors please share them here at the BatBlog.

One last thing heard today is Quasar is frantically trying to locate ColtsFan and SuperMike to try and fix what they screwed up. But SM and CF are demanding huge technical fees, to bring in back up...

 Stay Tuned the BatBlog will relay any information it receives about the Chatter....

Totalitarianism 2012

Thread from the CCC on OBAMACARE>>>>CLICK HERE

 We are all Socialists being led to our doom by the Head Socialist in Chief Barack Obama who will seize all our guns as we are forced into lines for our government mandated Obamacare and then rerouted to another line to receive our government mandated cheese.......

This of course is before Obama names himself Dictator in Chief and declares we are now under total totalitarian rule......his first order is to reinstate slavery and place John Boehner, Mitch Mc Connell and all Tea Partiers in chains 

Our only recourse and Salvation is of course >>>>CLICK HERE 

Great Story

From the News and Tribune an Amazing Story it's a shame the newspaper and TV news don't have more stories like this..

Open Letter to Grumpy Granny ...AKA Donna

  Donna
 Tried to send you a personal message but you had already deleted your Chatter account. Not knowing how to contact you directly, I'll say it here and hope you drop in. I just wanted to say how disappointed but also happy for you as well, for giving up Administrator duties of the CCC. I know you've put your heart and soul into making it a successful well respected forum. And critics can say what they want but you succeeded to the highest degree. As I stated  in my post to your resignation thread you have been equally fair to everyone and was the best part of the Chatter taking it to a high level of respectability.

  We didn't always see eye to eye but they were minor scraps where I was mostly in the wrong. Any disagreement we had after hearing your firm but always polite response. I recognized your fair and caring attitude and the fair and caring person you are.

  The reason I stated I was happy as well for you giving up the Chatter, is I know it was a strain on you at times. You related to me privately a couple of instances and I could tell it was becoming a hassle. I can only imagine the behind the scenes bickering that goes on and I am aware of some health issues you have. So hopefully the every day strain of watching out , counseling, disciplining the adult children of the Chatter will make your life a little easier. I hope so and hope I wasn't too big of a contributor of your headaches.

 Thanks again Donna (Granny) I hope you will stay in touch in  either through the CCC or local blogs you have truly become a friend and hope to hear from you. I can honestly say you are one of my cyber friends I would truly be honored to meet some day, it would be my honor.

Just a side note, you should be really proud of your nephew Ryan who ran an honorable, good race in Tuesday's election. At such a young age to do so well against veteran political campaigners says he has a bright future in politics or whatever endeavor he chooses in the future. Mrs. HT and I voted for him and told a lot of family and friends about him. Good Luck to him in the future.

 Lastly I hope you don't mind me publishing this publicly but there were some things I wanted to say personally and this the only way I could think  of to contact you plus I wanted to let everyone know my thoughts to you. Again Thanks,Good Luck and here's hoping the Best for you......Sincerly

                                                                                                            HT

Granny she did it "her way"....

Election 2012 - Election Eve Special

Welcome to the BatBlog's Election Eve Special where all the major races will be rehashed, predicted and the BatBlog endorsements reviewed.

Be sure to Vote !!!

President of the U.S.                                           BatBlog Endorses
  
Barack Obama will win reelection in a close race. Obama was narrowly beaten in the BatPoll and Romney will carry Indiana easily. Tight race in actual vote Obama wins with about 290 electoral votes.

U.S. Senate Indiana
Another tight race (R) Mourdock is controversial and (D) Donnely has done well in the BatPoll and has a chance to upset him in traditionally Rep. dominated Indiana. BatBlog endorses and picks Donnely in a close race.

Indiana Governor
This is a tightening race that the BatBlog originally thought was a lock for (R) Mike Spence but Polls show (D)John Gregg making inroads recently. The BatBlog still thinks Spence will win in GOP dominated Indiana but Gregg who ran even in the BatPoll could surprise. BatBlog endorses John Gregg

9th Dist. Indiana Congress
(D) Shelli Yoder has her work cut out for her against incumbent (R) Todd Young. Recent re-districting has given Young an even bigger advantage with traditional GOP counties being placed in the 9th Dist. Yoder has ran an aggressive race and has done well in the BatPoll, and look for her to do better than expected but ultimately the BatBlog sees Young winning. BatBlog endorses Shelli Yoder

Clark Co. Commissioner Dist.1
Incumbent (D) Ed Meyer faces off against (R) newcomer Rick Stephenson in the Dist. 1 Commissioners race. Stephenson amassed nearly 75% of the votes in the Batpoll which seems to be a very good indication where the local Clark Co. races are heading. Look for a victory by Stephenson over Meyer as the GOP sweeps both Commissioner's races. The BatBlog endorses Rick Stephenson.

Clark Commissioner Dist. 2
Another incumbent (D) Les Young faces former Co. councilman (R) Jack Coffman in the Dist. 2 Comm. race. Again the incumbent Young ran very poorly in the BatPoll and the BatBlog predicts a GOP sweep in the Comm. races as Young will fall to Coffman, BatBlog endorses Jack Coffman in Dist.2.





Clark Co. Council at Large - 3 members elected
The Clark Co Council will elect three at large members, 3 Democrats and 3 Republicans will face off for the 3 seats. In the BatPoll  all 3 GOP candidates ran strong placing in the top 4 along with (D) Susan Popp. The BatBlog sees 2 of these 3 open positions locked up by (R) Kelli Khuri and (D) Ms. Popp. The remaining seat could be a dogfight among (R) Ryan Lynch, (R) Ronald Brogan and incumbent (D) Kevin (Kevin in 11) Vissing Young Mr. Lynch has run hard and the BatBlog predicts he will claim the 3rd seat along with Khuri and Popp. The BatBlog endorses all 3 Khuri, Popp , and Lynch.

School Board Races
There will be 4 members of the GCC School Board elected Tuesday as well. 2 incumbents Christine Gilkey (Dist.5) and Becka Christensen in (Dist.7) face difficult races by well known opponents. Dale Moss retired writer for the CJ will face off against Gilkey in Dist. 5 and Teresa Perkins a mayoral candidate in last years Jeffersonville primary will go up against Christensen. The BatBlog thinks Mr. Moss will unseat Ms. Gilkey and Ms . Christensen will hold off Ms. Perkins in what could be a tight race. In the other S.B. races the BatBlog predicts victories for Jerry White in Dist. 6 and Vickie Boisseau in Dist. 2 both of whom ran strong in the BatPoll. In the S.B. races the BatBlog endorses Moss in Dist.5 Christensen in Dist.7 Alice Dorman Butler in Dist.6 and Vickie Boisseau in Dist. 2.

Overview
Locally it could be another major beatdown for the Dem. party as party leadership continues to thumb it's nose at the rank and file Democrats. The appointment of (Toxic) John Perkins to the vacant Commissioner's seat was just one more major gaffe that could lead to a sweep by the GOP in the County races. In the state and nationally look for a mixed result Democrats have a real chance at the Indiana Governor and Senate seat. Nationally look for Democrats to keep control with a majority in the Senate while the GOP will keep their advantage in the House of Rep.


Make Sure To Vote !!!
