NA Confidential

New Albany is a state of mind … but whose? Since 2004, we’ve been observing the contemporary scene in this slowly awakening old river town. If it’s true that a pre-digital stopped clock is right twice a day, when will New Albany learn to tell time?

KoffeyKulturKampf 3: Democrats release bold statement of principle.


Don't just do something -- stand there.

As Dan Coffey continues to define the parameters of our "new" Democratic Party, here's what we've had to say.

KoffeyKulturKampf 2: Why are Democrats averting their gaze as Democrats enable Dan Coffey?


KoffeyKulturKampf 1: John Gonder writes, "I'm just one Councilman who probably has been/is being targeted for defeat because of (Coffey's) antics."


Dan Coffey sniffs the wind, smells impending defeat for the mayor -- and tacks starboard.


Matt Nash on Dan Coffey: "His views are backward and repugnant."


ON THE AVENUES: Dan Coffey speaks for Jeff Gahan and the Democratic Party … unless they say otherwise.


Mount Tone Deaf just doesn't have the same ring, does it?


Vintage Coffey Klatch: "Let me explain by threatening you."


Dan Coffey's copperhead shake described: "Hot toadstools and cold cappuccino" (2009).


Dan Coffey's homophobic council tantrum: The Video.


Longtime homophobe Coffey offers heartfelt prayer for his "lying piece of (expletive)" colleague.


Prayer duly restored, the Ayatollah Coffey will now decide whether your religion deserves his stamp of approval.

NA Confidential's mask-free policy on reader comments.

NA Confidential believes in a higher bar than is customary in the blogosphere, and follows a disclosure policy with respect to reader comments.

First, you must be registered with blogger.com according to the procedures specified. This is required not as a means of directing traffic to blogger.com, but to reduce the lamentable instances of flaming and personal attacks on the part of the anonymous.

Second, although pen names are perfectly acceptable, senior editor Roger A. Baylor must be informed of your identity, and according to your preference, it will be kept confidential.

To reiterate, I insist upon this solely to lessen the frequency of malicious anonymity, which unfortunately plagues certain other blogs hereabouts.

You may e-mail Roger at the address given within his profile and explain who you are. Failure to comply means that your comments probably will be deleted -- although the final decision remains ours.

Thanks for reading, and please consider becoming a part of the community here, one that is respectful of the prerequisites of civilized discourse, and that seeks to engage visitors in substantive dialogue.
