Holiday World and Splashin Safari announced today their all new attraction for the 2010 season.  The Wildebeest will be worlds largest water-coaster and to date the most expensive attraction ever built by the theme park. Check out Holiday World's offical website for detailed information on the Wildebeest. Some initial concerns about the water coaster are it's location.  Already Splashin Safari has grown to enormous proportions, it's simply a huge park.  This sounds good, but for families that means doing a lot of wakling to get somewhere, just to wait in line.  Myself and others feel money would...

I'm becoming increasingly infuriated every time I see news that Weinzapfel is blaiming the homestead exemption credit reinstatement on why he must slash all these jobs and issue cuts in other places.  It's a cop out, a justification for him stealing from the residents of Vanderburgh County, salt in the wound.  It's especially frustrating considering that of the $217 million budget the loss of funds from the homestead exemption was only $5 million, less than 2% of the total budget. My thoughts are that if the jobs and items being funded relied on 2% of the budget, that never before existed, they...

Often times I enjoy reading comments more than I enjoy reading actual news articles.  Today was no different with the persuasive article from The Courier Press.  Unfortunately this article focuses on guilting the reader into providing all the info the Census asks so that the city can get more funding from the government and hovers around political motivation for low population numbers.  Whatever the case, the comments are already being fired back about not wanting to provide personal information to the government. A sample of comments: The problem with the census is that Obama has illegally taken...

It was brought to my attention yesterday that the Evansville Courier and Press website was not allowing comments on the article about the Police officer charged with forcing a women to perform oral sex.  Thanks to @brianwolf on Twitter for the heads up and I agree, of all the articles on the Courier and Press, why not allow comments on this one? As of this posting there are no posting comments allowed in the original breaking article or on the updated court appearance article.  So what reasons would explain CourierPress.com shutting down feedback? Flood of comments overloading the websites...

You have to read the title of this post like the announcer would for a boxing match.  WFIE 14 has announced that Jackie Monroe, which is known for being on Deal or No Deal, among other things like anchoring for WTVW, will be coming to work for the news station.  Although she's been on the local news network for 5 years, this change means she'll be spending some time on the other side of the camera.  According to press releases this will be temporary to remain in the non-compete agreements good graces. According to quotes on the WFIE 14 source page the rest of the crew will be glad to have Jackie on...
