Back In Two Weeks

Trump and Jong Un

  I don't know about you readers but The BatBlog  is getting pretty tired of  two idiots in chief  calling each other names and threatening to blow each other up pretty much on a daily basis.

It's pretty easy to be a badass and play nuclear war if you have a concrete bunker with 5 foot thick walls protecting you  when push comes to shove.... but millions of citizens lives are at risk while these two badasses will be cowardly hunkered down  playing with their army men..

It's scary that two spoiled, rich, bullies hold in their hands the lives of millions of people across the globe while Kim Jung Un and "The Donald" are playing  "Mine's Bigger Than Yours" that holds in the balance a possible catastrophic thermo nuclear war.

 Trump who used his father's privilege and money to dodge the army draft now wants to play soldier along with the idiot in charge of North Korea who was born into this world as some kind of demagogic leader.  Neither has the experience, smarts or common sense to manage a military

operation as they flex back and forth at each other from opposite ends of the world.

 No doubt the U.S. could wipe N.Korea off the face of the earth and that Jung Un.is a fool and a madman. that's a given,... but Trump is being played by him.. You don't poke sticks at somebody deranged and you don't risk killing innocent people just because you lack self control and want to act tough and be Mr. BadAss ...

Young Pups vs. Old Mules

Think I got one more run in me Tom ??? Hee Haw

   While reading SI Open Minded's recent post CLICK HERE handicapping candidates who might enter the Southern Indiana state Representative race, The BatBlog was once again taken aback by the big disparity in the ages of the potential candidates by party.

 The GOP's main contenders are young pups fairly new but successful so far in the local political game. Matt "Lapdog" Owen,  Zach Payne and Callie Jahn head the list. All of whom are in their 20's are early 30's. Conversely the Democratic list has old mules "Toxic" John Perkins and Tom "The Bulldozer" Galligan heading the slate of potential candidates are both in their 70's. This pretty much sums up both the differences and the successes lately of both parties in local politics.

 The BatBlog for years has been calling for an influx of new, young vibrant Democratic candidates for local elections but so far it just hasn't happened. Rank in file Democrats let out a collective moan every time we hear that "Toxic" John is considering another, what will prove to be  disastrous  run at political office. Don't get us wrong HT himself is an "old mule", most old mules are wise, but as a Democrat it is time for  changes in our party leadership both nationally and locally...

We will be profiling the races for Steve Stemler's vacated seat later as well as looking at Stemler's potential political future, but for now us Blue Dog democrats can only shake our heads and wonder when ???

New Blogger in Town...

Southern Indiana Open Minded

The BatBlog would like to welcome a new local blog to the Blogwars and after previewing the first several posts we would highly recommend checking it out CLICK HERE...It's well written on local issues and provides another forum for debating and commenting on the stories here in Southern Indiana...

 The BatBlog must warn the new gal in town that The BatBlog has pretty much destroyed the local competition in the past in the Blog Wars...Goliath and GAW News and The Clark County Chatter lay in ruins after attempting to take on The "award winning" BatBlog. While wishing the best of luck to the new contender we warn them in advance....

Seriously check it out and leave some comments and welcome another cyber voice and opinion to local news and issues...

 Again here's the link Southern Indiana Open Minded

Above the Law, Abuse of Power and Dereliction of Duty

The BatBlog endorsed Clark Co. prosecutor Jeremy Mull in the last county prosecutor's election but we were disappointed, shocked and frankly outraged at Mull's recent decision NOT to prosecute the Louisville police officer arrested for domestic battery this past week. Mull's lame attempt at reasoning for dismissing the case is equally shocking and outrageous to the people who he is sworn to protect.

   Mull cited "there are two conflicting accounts of the story"....well duh... probably 99.9% of domestic abuse cases have "conflicting accounts." Abusing pieces of shit never admit to any wrong and always attempt to throw the blame on the opposite party and victim.

  Mull went on to say how he didn't want to spend a large amount of taxpayer money on a case where he thought a jury would "find him not guilty at the end" Which in our mind is total bull shit.... The taxpayers want and expect their tax dollars spent on putting (POS) abusers behind bars and protecting citizens...and while some cases lack evidence and are questionable going to trial one only need look at the victim in this case then let the jury decide guilt or innocence...

 One has to wonder if the reason for dismissal is because or influenced by the fact the alleged abuser belongs to the LPD ??? is this a case of privilege ??  Would  any ordinary man on the street be given the same break from prosecution ??? The BatBlog thinks this smells of police being placed above the law and we feel confident that they are many domestic abuse  cases with far less evidence prosecuted every day.

In our mind the citizens of Clark Co. have been betrayed, we just wonder why ??? Is Mr. Mull trying to protect his won-loss record ?? Were strings pulled behind the scenes politically or other wise ?? Who is standing up for the victim???

Maybe it's time we find a new prosecutor to stand up for victims instead of the abusers and has the balls to prosecute cases that cry out for justice ....

The Great Goose Caper...Who Killed the Geese ???

"There's some more of the little bastards" Steve

  The mystery of "Who Killed the Geese" has intensified. As exclusively pointed out yesterday by the "award winning" Jeffersonville/ Clark Co. blog  "The BatBlog".... Clarksville town manager Kevin (Jung Un) Baity is now admittedly a  liar claiming "I misspoke."

 Baity at first blamed the Indiana Dept. of Natural resources (DNR) for making the decision to murder over 200 geese... but come to find out Baity signed a  application with euthanasia option circled according to the DNR.

Solved major flip flop case !!1

Baity "the goose slayer"  now says the application was already filled out before he signed it....Right ,sure !!! You can always tell a liar... when caught they tell another one even bigger than the first. We guess someone in the middle of the night snuck into Pinnochio Baity's office filled out his application, then he signed it....Wow!!!

So the mystery deepens... who circled the box for euthanasia on "the goose slayer's" application ??? who is responsible for murdering the geese ??? The BatBlog thinks this might be a case for Sellersburg police chief Russ "Inspector Clouseau" Whalen who recently solved and broke up a major flip flop theft ring  CLICK HERE for Story and in the process nailed former Clark Co. sheriff Danny Rodden for allegedly dining with an alleged prostitute. Great work inspector Whelan !!! while nothing was prosecuted , as far as the BatBlog can tell not one flip flop has come missing in Clark Co. since you cracked the case...

He may be just the man to solve the Great Goose Caper... Stay tuned to The BatBlog we'll be there until ever feather is uncovered....

Liar, Liar Pants on Fire...

According to Clarksville city manager Kevin (Jung Un) Baity the city had no say so in determining the fate of the over 200 geese recently murdered who resided at the Clarksville town hall property.

The BatBlog has a hard time believing that when the city contracted with the company they weren't given some option on whether to relocate or destroy the geese. That can be equated to going to the local butcher shop and the butcher telling you get what meat he decides for you...

It sound  more like passing the buck and throwing the blame elsewhere on what was a stupid and heartless decision by Clarksville officials, who probably thought the execution would never be publicly known and are now attempting to cover their collective asses.

 This wouldn't be the first time Jung Un Baity stuck his foot in his mouth. He threatened earlier in the year to flood Jeffersonville if they didn't share in paying for Clarksville's drainage problems. Who ever made the final decision to brutally kill these birds needs to man up and explain the reasoning behind it,  as curious public would like to know... it is after all our tax dollars with goose blood all over them.....

Clarksville Geese Problem...

After reviewing yesterday's post The BatBlog has come up with a brilliant solution to the Clarkssville geese problem. Instead of euthanizing the geese population like was done recently ...relocate and create a wildlife nature preserve and wetlands at Clarksville's historic cultural landmark Theatair X.

This would be a win, win solution for our feathered friends that would be saved from execution and an added cultural experience for the patrons of the Art's  at Theatair X. Patrons would have the opportunity to observe two types of wildlife species (human and avian) in their natural habitat in one visit... Think of the possibilities...

The BatBlog will be presenting these plans at the next town council meeting plus requesting a meeting with the Clarksville town manager to get the ball rolling to save the geese and provide  greater cultural opportunities for Clarksville residents and other Theatair X patrons...

Save the Geese !!!

Geese Murders...

The town of Clarksville made another stupid and heartless decision recently...murdering hundreds of geese that make their homes on the town hall property. The geese were trapped , euthanized and then incinerated by contractors hired by Clarksville officials.

 The BatBlog realizes that geese can be annoying and make a mess as they seem to shit about every 5 minutes...but surely there was a more humane and decent way to eradicate them from this area. Wouldn't it just as easy to release and relocate this wildlife in another area possibly somewhere along the river ???

 We don't want to sound like PETA who does get carried away at times, but while geese aren't cuddly and cute  like dogs and cats they are God's creatures...and in our mind this situation  was handled poorly by town officials ...

 Obviously you can't hunt geese in this area but goose hunting is legal in Indiana and while hunting does get the same result (a dead goose) it is a sport and can provide food and help limiting the geese population...It is certainly better than the senseless murder in Clarksville....
