Al Green Planning Free Concert For Blue Ash
Now will the boycotters claim to have made Al Green ill?

Hagan won't get $50,000 paid for Janeway's uniform
This story has the flash that at least the Enquirer's Tempo Section would have gone after. That is why I am shocked that I could not find it on their site today.

Taft, Hagan make tax returns public
Once again you would not know this happened if you only read the Enquirer or the Post.

Gov. Taft expected to campaign for math
This is not a news story; this is just reformatting a press release. I wonder if the Enquirer will do this for the Democratic candidate? I will not be holding my breath.

Press Release from Boycotters denouncing violence at Black Family Reunion (pdf file)
I would be inclined to think Nate and Amanda were jumping for joy while watching this on TV. I was more amazed that they questioned the success of the Nation of Islam Security at the event. I would question anything associated with a hate group.

CincyNation.com wants the City to Settle
Time for leadership: Settle with the boycott group now rather than later
When all is said, the city of Cincinnati will settle with the boycott group. So why not settle now instead of allowing this continual barrage of bad news to severely damage Cincinnati's reputation regionally and nationally?
The economic damage has been staggering and can only get worse. A settlement between the city and the black community will happen because there's no other alternative.
Do it now before the damage can't be undone.

Appeasement will get you nothing but a bigger boycott. There are people boycotting who will boycott until they get their own country. I am serious. They will not stop boycotting until they are granted a "black dominated" country. Don't cave in to extortionists.

Soul singer Green fails to show in Blue Ash
I am waiting for one of the boycotters to claim they convinced the Airline Al Green was flying on to delay his flight. Nothing would shock me from that group.

Judge tosses anti-boycott suit
So let me get this straight. If I write to all of Kroger's suppliers and tell them they should not make previously contracted shipments of their products to Cincinnati, and I tell them that if they do make those shipment against my advice violence might break out, then I have not broken any laws?

Suburbanites eschew downtown
Jay Love wanted to call this a boycott. This is not a boycott. This is just an economic reality. He is right, however, that suburbanites not coming downtown are doing more damage to the downtown than current boycott has done or will do.

More on Riverfest Comparisons
Jay Love from 1230 the Buzz agreed with a caller today that "racists" tend to use statistics when arguing. This contention was made by a self-professed minister named Bill. Bill was referring to a prior caller on Jay's talk radio program. As a further extrapolation, Jay went on to try and equate the actions of the riot after the Black Family Reunion to last year’s Riverfest where 12 of 2,000 to 3,000 is less problematic than 35 of 500,000. He focused on the fact that 35 is more than 12. I think Jay might have flunked math as well a relational science. If you are going to compare something, you have put them on an equal playing field.
I wonder if Jay listens to his show after it is over. I wonder if he makes note of his mistakes. Jay made the claim that Riverfest is just as bad or worse in terms of crime than what happened after the Black Family Reunion. How is .0048 better than .00007 as a rate of number of crimes per person? Does Jay only like comparing "actual values"? I guess he has some fear of exposing the problems in the black community on a quantitative basis in comparison with the "white community". I don't really think that is true. I have heard him speak on the rate of unwed mothers in the black community and how it compared to the mainstream community. He feels they are out of whack and speaks to how that can be corrected. I am puzzled why he is trying to downplay the violence acted out by this group of kids after the Black Family Reunion.

Police see noisy night, no violence at Riverfest
I referred to this issue previously, and McConnell on WLW had a similar opinion.

BRONSON: Black parents 'mortified' after melee
Bronson seem to be a bit behind the curve on this one. He seems to be reacting to the talk radio vibe and maybe even the blogosphere??? I doubt Pete is a blog fan, but you never know who might be reading my site.

Hate Mail
I got my first hate email! You know you are doing something right when you get email like this:
Subj: You Still Suck!

You are still a newsboy who can't get a job at a real newspaper. You suck! And you have no credibility. You frequently misspell words. (Can't you afford a spell check?) You suck! Your website has two letters written by that dingbat and poverty pimp Linda Berger. The letters seem to be written by an elementary school student, yet you post them on your website. Face it, you have no credibility! And in case you missed it, you suck! Damn racist bastard.
It is too bad that this coward could not at least sign his name. My reply:
At least you could have signed your name, Mr. Livingston I presume?

Local Woman's Body Found Under Refrigerator
This is one of the those cases that on the surface could write itself. I would guess Drugs are involved. If not drugs as the cause of death, I would surmise domestic violence as the second choice. I am not familiar with Richmond, Indiana's crime rates, but I would think they don't get many homicides there. This case will fall through the cracks unless something "sexy" or somehow children were involved. And so it goes.

Ohio Senate President Released From Hospital.
This is rather big news, and happened here in Cincinnati. I missed this in the local Papers.
Update: This was buried in the Tristate A.M. Report on 08/24/2002 in the Enquirer.

Rides return for Lincoln Hts. festival
This appears to look like a single employee of Star went overboard with some bigoted viewpoints. I am glad this issue has been resolved allowing the event to go on. What is disturbing is that the owner of the company who was interviewed by local TV did not want his face shown on TV. He was motivated out of fear, ether to be considered a racist, or that he would be targeted by someone because of his race.

BRONSON: DNA test could prove he's not child molester
One day Pete is a libertarian-conservative and the next he is a populist-conservative. Today I just see him being a plain old conservative. The three faces of Pete might make a good after school special; maybe PAX would pick it up.

SMITH-AMOS: Heimlich talking or campaigning?
This is a big issue that gets little attention. Ms. Smith-Amos rightfully brings out Phil Heimlich's deal to get free PR. Phil is not the only candidate to straddle the media line. Alicia Reece, Vice-Mayor of the City, and Ken Anderson an independent Candidate for city council, both have had radio programs of a similar type to Heimlich's but instead on WDBZ 1230 AM.

PULFER: Jungle Jim needed downtown
This is a great idea, but that is why it will not get done. Good ideas that change things will not get support in this city. Only stale ideas get support in this city.
