The Floyd County Democratic Party is terminally ill. That's why its members are praising Gahan's Goons and the ongoing attack on the city's vulnerable public housing residents.

WHAS-11's Holden Kurwicki tried to reach Jeff Gahan and other elected officials for comment, but the Genius of the Floodplain couldn't be bothered to reply. Until I can find a version of the video capable of being embedded here, watch (as well as read) it at WHAS's web site.

It's the ideal morality tale for the holidays, with Floyd County's DemoDisneyDixiecrats teaching us all the wrong lessons about greed, incompetence, over-reach and shamelessness.

And these are the minions who'll save us from Trump?

The ones averting their eyes as a C-minus megalomaniac loots the New Albany Housing Authority?

The ones with nothing to say as their mind-numbingly mediocre mayoral hero out-trumps the Donald with the help of his snow lizard?

It needs to be remembered, and repeated as often as possible, that a NAHA board populated by a conniving mayor with bootlicking sycophants for the express purpose of wreaking havoc on NAHA cannot simultaneously issue reassurances denying such havoc will occur.

It's laughable. The Democratic Party owns this debacle; currently the only elected official with the stones to take a principled stance is Ed Clere, a Republican.

But I must confess to the immense entertainment value of hearing Gahan, Duggins and their flailing functionaries wail about folks not trusting them.

This is what happens when unethical bullies make a habit of spinning ridiculous whoppers about what they're pretending to do, when what they're really doing is obvious to fishermen off the coast of Madagascar. It's fairly clear from State Street, too.

Actions like these make Gahan's clique profoundly untrustworthy -- and precisely the sort of lawless element we should actively resist, not condone. Local Democrats say they're part of the solution. Reality on the ground is markedly different.

Chronicles of New Gahania: Mayor evades questions about dog park sacrilege with help of police escort.

Thanks J.

Just in case you missed it, Mayor Gahan went to a self-congratulatory plaque-raising yesterday, and damned if some substance didn't break out.

Meanwhile, these screen shots show what happened when Tony attempted to engage The Genius of the Flood Plain in dialogue as he scurried past the Fourth Estate.

The Green Mouse has learned that when the Imperial Carriage arrived and Our Beloved Leader saw WHAS-11 setting up for an interview with Tony Nava, Deputy Mayor Duggins immediately phoned for police back-up, lest Nava attempt to tell the truth on camera within earshot of Gahan.

DUDE: This is no way to conduct a State Senate campaign, especially when you'll have to beat Chuck Freiberger in the primary.

"The City of New Albany has done some really dumb stuff in the time I've lived here but a members only, pay-to-play "public" dog park out on the fringe of town with no walking route - built on Native American ceremonial grounds, no less - is among the dumbest. Three strikes with one pitch."

Before we look at the incriminating photos, let's rewind to March, 2016 for background on the origins of New Albany Dog Park, which by a miracle yet to be revealed, hasn't yet been named for a suburban subdivision or a dead Democrat.

THURSDAY, MARCH 24, 2016
Dog daze: With Gahan back in the safe house, civilian architect Timperman now is the city's official spokesman.

When Mayor Jeff Gahan donned his standard issue suit and tie for an uncharacteristic public appearance at Cannon Acres with WDRB's Gil Corsey, actually speaking on behalf of his own administration without the usual sycophants and intermediaries for protective filtration,

"Right now the last thing we'd want to do is be disrespectful to anyone," Gahan said.

Amid instantaneous and contagious community-wide laughter, it was only a matter of milliseconds until chief handler Adam Disney speed-dialed Gahan to remind the mayor that the only way he can refrain from disrespect is to remain safely ensconced in the down-low bunker.

In the emergency meeting that followed, you can almost see them looking around the room ... so, who can we use?

Seven and one half months of campaign finance beak-wetting later, the dog park was dedicated, and to the credit of WHAS-11, Tony Nava was invited to say a few words. Follow the link to watch the video.

Meanwhile, these screen shots show what happened when Tony attempted to engage The Genius of the Flood Plain in dialogue as he scurried past the Fourth Estate.

If a picture paints a thousand words.
Then why can't I paint you?
The words will never show.
The you I've come to know.

The "you" who flees any unscripted opportunity ... and yet the most incisive comment is reserved for this dog ...

 ... peeing on a ceremonial Native American site as the cameras roll.

Adam Disney didn't give that dog very good public relations advice, did he? Unless, of course, that's exactly the advice he gave him.

It's only a wee bit ironic that the video is prefaced by a Nissan advertisement. WHAS's Mike Columbo did a good job, and it was a pleasure to meet him.

(WHAS11) -- Lots of people have an appreciation for a good cold one but there are two men who have taken their love for beer one step further.

WHAS11’s Adrianna Hopkins was joined by John Holl and Nate Schweber, authors of "Indiana Breweries", who shared more about their experiences, their book and some of their favorite brews.

Too early for the beer biz.

John Campbell and I were up bright and early today to promote local beer and LIBA's Louisville Brewfest at the Clifton Center on Friday, March 27. My appearance was on WHAS-11's morning news, and lasted approximately a minute.

If you're in the New Albany neighborhood, don't forget that the Bank Street Brewhouse is open today until 8:00 p.m. Food service is limited today because we gave the kitchen crew time off; yesterday's mention in the C-J was good for business yesterday, and they need time to prepare the first stages of the evening menu that should hit tables on Thursday night, March 26.
