Famous Thieves

The Grinch stole Christmas.

John Dillinger robbed banks.

Bernie Madoff "made off" with billions from stockholders.

Somali pirates hijack ships.

CONgress appropriates trillions.

Marcus Schrenker ransacked annuities.

Helio Castroneves diverted $5 million to avoid income taxes.

Robert Irsay swiped his father's business and spirited the Colts away form Baltimore.

And finally, Jimmy Irsay has looted the City of Indianapolis of millions and he is going to keep it.

If Indy Could Deport Individuals....

It would start with the following...

Bart Peterson, Former Mayor

He has brought the city to its financial knees building structures for millionaires. Not only could we not afford to build them, it is apparent now that we cannot even maintain them. He argued that these venues would bring mucho bucko's to downtown Indy. Now, we are faced with additional taxes that will eventually end up in the pockets of millionaires like Jimmy Irsay, assorted Pacers & Colts who leave town with their cash when the season is over, billionaires Mel and Herb Simon, and all of the local contractors that so freely contribute a portion of their spoils back to the political parties.

Pat Bauer, Speaker of the House

Hey Pat, you were not elected Emperor. You job is to run an orderly legislative session. It was not to prevent good legislation from ever coming up for a vote by our duly elected representatives. And, Pat, I know you're from Notre Dame country, but please buy yourself a better rug for your Golden Dome.

What were you thinking when you tried to scam the IRS out of paying taxes on $5 million? You were popular, the public loved you, and you had plenty of cash left over after tax to live a life of luxury. Somehow, you beat the rap, but this taxpayer is no longer a fan. Go back to Brazil and may your right rear tire always go flat.







Bob Gregory (Channel 13), Stan Wood (Ch-8), Bob McClain (Ch-6), Chuck Lofton (Ch-13), Randy Ollis (Ch-8), Cliff Nicholson (anyone), Jude Redfield (Ch-13), Chris Wright (Ch-59, 13), Steve Bray (Ch-8), Kevin Gregory (Ch-6), Paul Poteet (Ch-6), and any other smiley optimist male who has ever tried to forecast the weather in NapTown. If I have to listen to a dismal weather forecast for Indy, let it come from a cutie like Angela, Nicole, or Crystal.

Why You Should Have A Will

Twelve years ago Conseco Executive Vice-President and General Counsel, Lawrence Inlow, died tragically as he walked into the business end of helicopter rotor. Seems he felt that his time was so valuable, driving to the airport from his office up in Carmel was a terrible waste of time.

Anyway, Mr. Inlow was a very wealthy man at the time to the tune of $180 million buckaroos. One would think Mr. Inlow, being an attorney of such largess, would have all of his affairs in order. Well, he didn't. Mr. Inlow did NOT have a will. Seems that his estate has been a series of lawsuits between his ex-wife, widow, and children from both marriages. The last item is about which half of his family has to pay for his $284,000 private mausoleum. I wonder if it has a flat-screen TV?

As a result, a large undetermined chunk of his estate has been squandered on attorney fees not to mention the value of his Conseco stock evaporated during all of the litigation.

So, for the sake of your loved ones, make your wishes known in a properly written and witnessed will. And Julie is channeling through me right now saying you also need a living will and a duly-appointed medical power of attorney! The cost is nominal and should you need any beneficiaries please leave a comment with your contact information. I will be in touch.
