IS IT TRUE? June 11, 2011

IS IT TRUE that Mole #3 tells us that there is a quiet campaign going on to accelerate the demolition of Roberts Stadium so that it will never ever be in a position to compete against the new Arena for so much as a Monster Truck show or a Bar-B-Q grill show?…that if one goes to ticket sales sites like Ticketmaster that routinely are used to sell tickets to events at Roberts Stadium that there are no events listed and no tickets for sale?…that the website for SMG Evansville lists only one more event after the Jehovah Witness convention is over tomorrow?…that the only event listed for Roberts Stadium period is the ordination of the new Bishop of the Evansville Diocese?…that is on June 29, 2011 and that there is nothing scheduled afterward that is posted publically?…that the Centre on the other hand has many events listed well into 2012?…that the “powers that be” will try to get the wrecking ball swinging at Roberts Stadium in stealth mode so as not to raise the ire of the many citizens of Evansville that oppose preemptively demolishing Roberts Stadium?

IS IT TRUE that there is also a whisper campaign being orchestrated to get out the message that the new Arena is nearly booked up for 2012?…that if true that is good news?…that if the new Arena is really fully booked like the whisper puppets of the “powers that be” have been whispering that there should be no urgency at all to hurry up and tear down Roberts Stadium?…that mixed messages are so common nowadays that they don’t even surprise anyone?…that a search of the same event site Ticketmaster has no listing of any event or ticket for sale for anything at all at the new Arena?…that we assume that the UE Purple Aces will have about 35 basketball games in the new Arena next year?…that we suspect that the last minute nibbling between the Icemen and the Arena management will somehow come to an agreement that will bring 30 or so hockey games to the Arena?…that there is not yet a final agreement in place for VenuWorks to manage the Arena?…that fall touring entertainment is being booked right now and that dilly-dallying around will lessen the options available for an opening act and for other fall entertainment?

IS IT TRUE that CCO Moles have been all over the riverfront this weekend keeping tabs on the attendees of the ShrinersFest?…that many candidates for office have been strolling around overdressed with pageant smiles glued on their faces shaking every hand that is extended to them?…that there are even some candidates calling and messaging (no twittering please) to tell on their opponents for quaffing a beer or talking to some “wrong” person?…that reminds us of small children that compete for attention by being loyal and visible tattletales for mommy and daddy?…that tattling and pageantry aside that all reports are that the ShrinersFest is a well run event with the only complaints being registered aimed at mother nature for the 90 degree plus heat?…that if the rain stops today that tonight with its cooler temperatures should be a very good night to be at the ShrinersFest?

IS IT TRUE that amid all of the fuss, the hubbub, and the heat that Republican Mayoral candidate Lloyd Winnecke held a golf outing as a fund raiser?…that it is reported that every foursome was sold out and that some prominent democratic members of the Evansville City Council were in attendance?…that golf and politics make for strange foursomes?…that Democratic candidate for Mayor Rick Davis has taken up residence on the riverfront with his own booth and taking a personal campaign to as many attendees at the ShrinersFest as he possibly can?…that we are very interested to see which strategy reels in the most independent or other party votes for the respective candidates?

  1. Prominent democrats at the Winnecke golf outing is right. I was expecting Obama’s helicopter to land so he could shoot a round of golf with them. There were five sitting democratic city council members standing around smiling in front of a Winnecke for Mayor sign.

    Their names are Curt John, John Friend, B. J. Watts, Missy Mosby, and Connie Robinson. It looks like the band of puppets is looking for a new puppetmaster. Winnecke had better be careful about who gets a place at his table. This cast of vagabonds may lose him more support than it will gain him.

    It reminds me of old Phil Hoy, changing from blue to red and back again like party affiliation is like a fresh pair of drawers.

    From this day forward these 5 former puppets of Mayor Weinzapfel should be called the Phil Hoy Democrats.

    • Fireplug
      Missy Mosby, Connie Robinson and John Friend were not at the Winnecke golf outing.
      I guess it was alright for Al Lindsey to support the republican candidates when he lost to BJ Watts.

      • OK!….Curt and B.J. were there! Nothing wrong with supporting the other candidate. I just hope that the reasons for their support are more than financial. Something tells me that it’s not!

  2. you gotta give Rick credit for braving the heat to meet the voters and listen to their concerns.. Mr Winneke also has a booth that was manned by a paid intern with a script to read when I stopped to talk to him.

  3. and I hope they plan to figure out who will pay to demolish Robert’s Stadium before they swing the first wrecking ball so we don’t end up with another decorative water feature

  5. It’s nice to see BJ joining the Winnecke team. If he helps Winnecke like he helped the people of the 6th ward, Rick Davis has no worries. The action of BJ and Curt John and any other Democrats helping Winnecke reminds me of how a child reacts when they don’t get there way.
