Browns ban plastic bottles of beer
This has nothing to do with Cincinnati; I just like rubbing it in the eye of the mistake by the lake. Flounder is crying in his milkshake over this I am sure. (Inside joke)
L&N Bridge fire was arson; paint hurt, but structure OK
I missed this story, I don't know if was even published before today. I would assume that the arson would somehow related to the people doing the construction work on the bridge. I wonder if they are looking into any nut cases who may have had a more political motive for setting the fire.

Workers take Xerox to court for 'blacks in a noose' discrimination
More international media coverage, this time not good coverage. Cincinnati will not take full blame for this lawsuit, but indirectly it will be damaged.
Festival seating defended
If the experts ok it, then why should anyone else be shaking in the their shoes? The amount of hand wringing on some message boards I just wonder how many wild animalistic kids these people think are really going to buy up the $75 dollar floor seats to see the Boss. I can see where paranoid might grip parents if this were a Limp Biscuit concert, but the Boss is not going to get the moshing type crowd.
RADEL: Festival seating
I think Cliff has a streak of house-mom in him. "By requesting festival seating, Bruce Springsteen is trading his fans' safety for some cheap thrills." Is he kidding? How much can one man overstate the risk? Festival seating is not a safety issue, as long as crowd control is properly in place. I had hoped that the brain-dead 19th century stubborn and ignorant mindset had vanished, but not at the Enquirer. Next they are going to tell me that if I smoke a joint I will go insane. Oh the humanity.
Zee at Roadsassy seems a bit put off by the latest Xerox allegations. I see where Zee might be skeptical about the allegations, but I would be surprised that the WSJ would offer up this story without vetting it to the conservative bloodhounds.

EEOC finds racial discrimination at Xerox's Cincinnati office
This shit is going to hit the fan from this report. I wonder how the right wing will treat this report coming from a GOP lead EEOC and the right leaning Wall Street Journal.

BBC: Mini-Me to lead 'chicken dance'
It even made the BBC. We finally get some semi-good international news coverage. This story got the crowd size correct. I don’t know what the other UK site was thinking when it wrote that story.
Account contradicts Twitty
This sounds like a really big nail in Twitty's Coffin. His career appears to be on the way out, unless the race baiters have their way. If he gets off, then it will be because enough blacks screaming racism will cause it. This is really a messy situation. I just wish his support was not so much a race thing. That is a race thing for a large number of blacks in the community. They are only supporting him because he is black. It he was white, the black community would be happy to see him get fired and go to jail. Hypocrisy is the word that I can't get away from. This time there is little of it on the police's side, it all rests with the black activist crowd.
Mini-Me to lead world's largest chicken dance
WOW! International press for Oktoberfest. There is one big error in this report, when the writer states Verne will lead 500,000 in the chicken dance. There are 500,000 that visited the event over the two day period, not all at once.

Federal judge approves settlement for Cincinnati blacks claiming harassment
I hope this is a good step to help quell the boycott, but there will be a core of boycotters who will not stop until every white person is run out of town.
BRONSON: Critters worse than acid rain
When Peter gets skin cancer, I hope no one laughs at him.
'Mini-Me' will lead Oktoberfest chicken dance
I hope no one mistakes him for a couple of pickled pig's feet.

Anti-pornography group targets Cincinnati hotels
Two issues on this story. One, this did not target hotels in Cincinnati. It targeted hotels in a suburb north of the 275 loop. Two, the story still did not talk about the legality of recording the adult films in the hotel room. I still question if that is legal.
Bruce Springsteen tour dates
The Boss is coming to Cincinnati in November. Will the boycotters strike again? Stay tuned right here for the latest. Same bat time, same bat channel.
BRONSON: Racial paranoia
A little be over dramatic, and he had to bash liberals, but other than that he makes a few good points.

Chat room conversation leads to man's pandering charges
This guy must not be following the news.
CAN won't take lead in boycott of city
I am disappointed they are not taking a better stance, but I can understand their problem of credibility. The hotheaded boycotters would scream if CAN took sides. The boycotters don't trust the "white man" so it takes a lot of tip-toeing to gain a speck of trust with the bigoted boycotters.
Federal prosecutors charge Spellman
I don't know what he was doing in Cincinnati. I hope he was just changing planes at the airport. He sounds like he has lost his marbles.
Exception to notification rule
This is a big ruling for this area. Conservative Cincinnati has turned one small new leaf.
