Open Records Request, the Oracle and more....revisited

   Sources  to the BatBlog have revealed that the open records request for internet and city cell phone usage of City employees by City Councilman Matt Owen may have led directly or indirectly to the demise or temporary disappearance of the Oracle.

    Our sources say that several fellow members of the Council including several fellow Rep.'s are none too happy with this young Mr. Owen opening this can of worms.  The Source goes on to say that more than several communiques between the Oracle and city workers and current Council members may show up in the information requested by Mr. Owen.

  The Oracle has been rumored to be former Information Director Larry Thomas of the Galligan administration. If this true it would only substantiate what the BatBlog staff believes, that it is politics as usual that holds back the development and future of Jeffersonville. No matter who is in the mayor's office even when it  was a fellow Dem. like  former mayor Rob Waiz the previous administration and cronies do everything in their power to undermine the current mayor whomever it might be.

  In conclusion the stagnant state of Jeffersonville will continue unless our leaders (I use the term "leaders" loosely) put aside their political differences and work together. Which we here at the BatBlog don't see happening......

For Jules

   I just learned a dear cyber friend of mine Jules lost one of her beloved children Riley today. My heartfelt sympathies go out to Jules and her family. Even though we live quite close I only know Jules through the cyberworld but yet because of her class, sincerity, honesty and personality I feel like I know her on a personal level and for years.

 No  words can ease the pain of a mother losing a child but I hope and pray  for you Jules  , your family, and friends the strength to get through your grief, and mourning period and hope for eternal rest and peace for your dear Riley. My thoughts are with you...and deepest sympathy .......HT

BatBlog Presidential Poll

If the election was held today who would you vote for ??

Mitt Romney

Barrack Obama

Vote for the Hood/Synomous II for Most Pitiful Poster

The "Hood"

 Vote for the Hood/ Synomous II aka the "Hood Runs in the Pack" for "Most Pitiful Poster" in the Poll (to the right.) The Hood not only a lousy poster, he tried (unsuccessfully) to have HT's rightfully deserved 2011 "Goliath Award" revoked. So do HT a favor

VOTE FOR THE HOOD

Guess the Honeymoon Really is Over

"Mutt and Jeff"

  Looks like the honeymoon really is over between Mayor Mike Moore and Jeffersonville "watchdog" NSBHM. After singing the praises of MM before last years election, NSBHM quickly soured on the new administration and now refers to Moore and Redevelopment Comm. Rob Waiz as "Mutt and Jeff."

  Was it the differences on redevelopment board ? Did NSBHM want a position in the administration ??
Did NSBHM over estimate his influence ?? What gives ??

Watchdog NSBHM

Seems to the writers here at the BatBlog that NS has been a little too quick and too harsh in his criticism. What happened to giving some one a chance to prove themselves. After all redevelopment is very subjective and what looks good to some may not look good to others. Let's give the new administration a chance and leave the name calling for later if it's deserved.....




************************POLL UPDATE*****************

NSBHM continues to hold substantial lead with 41% of the vote Petsy/ Goliath edges into 2nd place...19%

HT yet to get a vote (what's up with that)

Has Bill Clinton helped Obama Turn the Tide ??

 Bill Clinton's campaigning along with several gaffes by Romney seem to have turned the tide toward the re-election of Barrack Obama. Polls in several of the battleground states show Obama edging ahead.It seems to me that Clinton's excellent speech at the Dem. Convention has catapulted the President forward. Here's a video on the unparalleled popularity of Bill Clinton even after being out of office for 12 years. Bill still knows how to work a crowd and if Pres.Obama is reelected he can thank Clinton for help pushing him past Romney.

Most Pitiful Poster Poll - Local Internet Personalities

     Starting tomorrow HT will open a series of Polls to determine who is the Best and Worst of the Local Internet community.  The first one will be "Most Pitiful Poster" this will include posters of the local blogs and forums (CCC.) This one is dear to HT's heart as he won  "Most Pitiful Poster" (actually tied with Kelley) a couple of years ago on Goliath's old blog. I'll list a few of the possible nominees but feel free to send in your own. Rule 1 though , this is all in fun,  do not send expletive laced comments to HT send them to GAW News http://gawnews.com/. Later on "nicest poster", "Best personality", "Best feature on a blog or forum" "Most Interesting Poster" and other catergories.....Now with my nominees for "Most Pitiful Poster"

Hood/ SynomousII - Hands down winner for most content, come on Hood a little less content and more to the point. And enough with all the cartoons and pics.....boring.... and you want HT's Goliath award returned

HT - A loose cannon that fires from the hip and former winner...

Debbie - I' ll bet she's a load of laughs at the family picnic. We get it you don't like government Debbie, she turns every post into an anti -government rant and has printed 27,685 articles in the News/Tribune to prove it. Move to Somalia.(no government there)....see how that works.

Kelley - (sorry Kelley) only because you tied with me in Goliath's Poll and you agree with Debbie a lot, I actually like a lot of what you write.

Pesty/ Goliath -   Pesty doesn't post too much anymore, but since he managed to piss off  95 % of the CCC while shamelessly peddling Goliath's Blog he/they are included.

Quasar - (The Big Q) what can I say he once asked for all members of Congress that voted for Obamacare to be tried and executed creates about 10 anti Obama topics a week on the CCC....

That's my list, remember it's all in fun ... do you have any nominees ???

What Happened to the Oracle ??? Seven Theories

 Has the Orifice disappeared ?? The mouthpiece of the Galligan "Crybabies" the Oracle has disappeared from posting on his site. Several theories out there

1.) He met the same fate as "Green Eggs and Ham" (see picture)

2.) He is running scared as his true identity has been uncovered.

3.) The moles from the City Council feeding him information realized how stupid and childish they looked.

4.) The main Puppeteer behind the Oracle pulled him in , in fear of being outed as well.

5.) The Oracle suddenly grew a conscience and realized he was creating nothing or printing anything that
actually helps the citizens and the City of Jeffersonville.

6.) The Oracle realized that no one really cared what he had to say, other than those who can't move forward and are as bitter as TG about the defeat.

7.) He got a real job

Did Toxic John Break One Off in the Taxpayers ???

According to an article published by the News and  Tribune "Toxic" John Perkins ordered work done on his neighbors property. Link to article Road Work  Using  county labor , equipment, and materials this seems to have the appearance of impropriety. In order to get the story straight from the" horses mouth", the BatBlog sent a correspondent to Bethlehem In. home of "Toxic" John to get an answer


Batblog Reporter Question- John a lot of people are wondering if this is appropriate use of taxpayer money. John did you break one off in the taxpayers of Clark Co. ??/

Major Drug Bust by LaGrange Ky. Police

"major" drug lord"

La Grange Ky. police made a major bust of a sophisticated, big drug operation. Here's a link to the story in the Courier Journal Drug bust. Confiscated were plants valued at more than $74,000.

Come on man ! This dude was growing a little pot in his back yard, look at the pics does this constitute a major story in the CJ. And $74, 000 what were the cops smoking to think this is worth 74 grand and a major bust  on their part. Hell there ain't enough weed there for this dude and his buddies on a Saturday night, he's moving the plants in his little boy's wagon for gosh sakes.

I'ts "pretty good size" said Maj. Conway

All HT can say it must have been a slow day for news and the La Grange cops much not have much to do if this is a major drug bust .....Hell HT has more weed growing wild behind his shed than this....

Clark Co. Politics, Lawyers and Politicians..... No Wonder We're Broke

   Ever wonder why Clark Co. is nearly broke ???  Another example of why is in Monday's News and Tribune Story. Seems like one office of Clark Co. government is suing another office AGAIN. Yep, this is twice in less than a year. Earlier the Sheriff's Dept. sued the County Council for more money. This time it's the County Commissioners suing the Co. Auditor's office. Hey dudes, every time Co. attorney Fifer puts a choke hold on another office it's costing us taxpayers more money. Money the County doesn't have. Earth to  Politicians " lawyers don't work cheap" and this litigation could be tied up for months...

 In the comments section of the N&T article Fred really nailed it he wrote ........This is another example of the County Commissioners trying to show their muscles with county employees. Monty did what he was supposed to do and checked with State Officials on the law and regulations. Instead of working with each other the Commissioners decide to Sue instead. This is a great example of team work guys! I think the Commissioners are still upset over Monty and the Sheriff working together to buy new cars with no cost to the Taxpayers! Shame on you Monty and Danny, trying to save us money!! 

In less than 2 months two of these clowns are up for re-election. It is time to get them out of there and put some new blood into this County. How much longer do we have to put up with this nonsense? Hopefully not to much longer. Hey Monty want to have some, have your Lawyer do a Change of Venue so its out of Clark County!!

September 10, 2012, 8:06 A

Fifer must feel like Clint Eastwood in a Fistful of Dollars playing one side against the other while he cleaned up. Hey if we're going to sue somebody lets sue the Harrison Co.Auditor they've got money over there. We're like the dog that bites his own paw....Jeez  Send in the Clowns !!!

More from the Horse's Mouth errr Ass

  Mr Ed's ( the Oracle) other piece this week was on apologies supposedly owed to Matt Owen and the residents of Jeffersonville. Minor issues like the taking down the Galligan sign (like somebody really gives a
 F  - - -) and nosing out Owen for the GOP mayoral race (should have manned up Matt if you really wanted to run.)

  Once again the Orifice has planted his hoof firmly in his mouth, or shall I say firmly planted his head up his Ass (just like his head is up his Ex- Boss' Ass.) If Galligan would start apologizing now it will take him until the end of MM's second term to finish.

How about an apology for illegally firing the sewer operations manager resulting in the lawsuit that cost the taxpayers nearly a million dollars....

How about an apology for destroying Vissing Park without notifying  neighbors who reside near the park or obtaining the proper permits or even obtaining authorization from the Parks Authority.....

How about an apology for trebling sewer bills on the premise we had to have a canal.....

How about an apology for calling out the JPD for photographing your drunk City attorney in a garbage can....

How about an apology for annexing all the people who wanted no part of living in Jeffersonville all in a money grab....


Finally how about an apology for doing absolutely nothing to improve the Jeffersonville downtown or anywhere for that matter in your 12 years as mayor......

The list could go on and on you get the idea.....The Oracle has obviously spent too much time in his stall to actually know anything about what goes on in Jeff ,other than what the ones who pull his strings tell him.

Come on Orifice be your own horse, try and make or have an original thought on your own....

Too Much Politics

No post on the Oracle today, attended the Purdue vs. Notre Dame football game and couldn't stomach writing about Jeff politics 2 days in a row. Great game N.D. won on last second FG. great atmosphere.

More on the Orifice next week

This Week's Manure from the Horse'e Ass

The horse's Orifice

This weeks rambling from the horse's ass (the Oracle/Orifice) include  pieces on "Trust "and "advice to Matt Owen". The Orifice err Oracle would have you believe Mayor Mike should have trust in the City council who passed a resolution requiring council approval of capital purchases of more than $5000.00 that the mayor vetoed.

  Come on Oracle, is speaking out of the wrong end of Trigger clouded your vision. This the same Council that passes around personal e-mails like little school girls passing notes in class. Telling on Mayor Mike and then squealing with delight like they got away with something. And now he's supposed to trust them....

Moore did it again send me the E-mail

  This is the same Council that rubber stamped every dime Galligan foolishly spent like a drunken sailor. Especially last year on every Campaign ploy in Galligan's desperate attempt for re-election. Like the "Blue Goose" riverstage, basically a pile of scrap metal, "Galligan's Ditch" the canal, the destruction of Vissing Park, the" Jungle" that is a supposed landscaping project on Hwy. 62, all essentially tax dollars thrown in the manure pile by the same basic Council. Now all of a sudden they're fiscal conservatives. And now MM is supposed to trust them....

  Come on Orifice either your old Boss still has a tight hold on your reins or all those days being ridden like a mule has broke you down. Try breaking free and talk out of the right end of the horse, like Mr. Ed....

Mr. Ed and Boss

Tomorrow more Horse farts from the Oracle; Advice to Matt Owen .
