Patton Says Allegations Of Affair Groundless
I don't care about his sex like. I don't trust anyone who has had a "secret" affair, so her credibility is as questionable as hers. I do care if the governor misused his power and punished this person for allegedly breaking up their relationship.
UPDATE: An Ouch for Patton; this story has made CNN. NewsNight with Aaron Brown even ran a large section of the WHAS-11 TV report as part of CNN program.

Pipe Bomb Found In Winton Woods
This article is as lengthy as the WLWT article, but seems to have more to it. Maybe it is all just in my head.

Local Bomb Scare Yields No Clues
What an in-depth report. The detail is amazing. This information will cause me to ponder on this occurrence all night long.

Lawyer claims flaws in Boyles indictment
The actions of this attorney must stem from the Twitty Grand Jury debacle. Is this an attorney doing his job by stretching the truth, or is the Grand Jury process a joke? I hope this is just a lawyer reaching for threads with a doomed defense. I would guess that every defense lawyer is going to look for any uncrossed "t" to help raise doubt over every Hamilton County indictment. I wonder how the reputation of Mr. Fagal, foreman of the Twitty Grand Jury, is faring at City Hall. Will he remain employed there much longer?

Boycott leaders protest prosecutor
Are the boycotters going to protest Tavis Smiley? Who is that you ask??? You need to read my prior post. I am surprised I have not heard anything else about Tavis Smiley. The conference he is taking part in is for program directors for public radio stations. They are a very influential segment of the media. I thought about email the various local media outlets to ask if they were aware of any protests for this event. I would not expect a reply, but would like to see if they reported the story. I'll just have to wait and see.

It appears that Cincinnati Nation can't make up its mind. Is it a blog or is it a News outlet? The following "post" from their site is nothing but a misrepresentation of the issue.
Just like the South in the 60s, Cincinnati jails civil rights leader for a minor infraction one of the leaders of the economic boycott of downtown Cincinnati is back in jail Monday night. Nate Livingston was sentenced to 60 days behind bars last June for climbing on stage and using a bullhorn to interrupt a speech by Mayor Charlie Luken.This then links to a story from Fox 19. The story reported none of what this post suggests, and this post has no facts to support the justification of what Nate Livingston did. He clearly broke the law. The comparison to the South is just wrong. I would guess the editor of CincyNation.com was not alive in the 1960's to know. I was not either, for the record, but I would not make such a baseless statement. In a second story from this website had this outlandish headline “Anti-progress? Chabot wants pollution causing, smelly, street-clogging buses.” Now, I happened to be pro-light rail, but this kind of headline smells of Hearst and Pulitzer.

Here is local blog I ran across: DawnsLife.com. Dawn appears to be a very interesting person, at least based on her blog. The viewer is treated to many pictures and other local links.
Chabot against light rail tax hike
Why do people elect this man? He is against bringing Federal funding to his district. This quote from the article sums it up for me.
Why do people elect this man? He is against bringing Federal funding to his district. This quote from the article sums it up for me.
“They can be statesmen, or they can ensure the money that could be spent here would go to cities such as Dallas, San Diego or St. Louis,” Mr. Schneider said.. “To lead the opposition to a strategy that other cities are following with great success seems to me to be short-sighted.”The "they" includes Fellow Republican John Dowlin and Democrat Dusty Rhodes. I just hear no alternatives to light rail. I hear knee jerk anti-tax measures. I hear a short-run "if I can't see it now, screw later" attitude. I hear the typical Cincinnati attitude, do nothing and just "pray", and then it will just go away. I would like to know if Congressman Portman will take a stand on this issue. It would be interesting to see how his new mix of City/Suburban/Rural district changes his positions. This might be one where it does, or at least keep him quite about it.

BRONSON: Truth matters
Peter is stating the obvious, but to many people the obvious remains an illusion brought on by the mythical magic hand keeping the black man down. I think most people, black and white, understand that Twitty lied to police. Some people think that is no big deal, and should not have been made into the issue it was. In the past, it has not been a big deal. It should have been a big deal then, but just because past actions were swept under the rug, it does not mean this one should have been. I hope the police department will no longer sweep this kind of incident under the rug in the future, no matter the race of the officer. My advice will, as usual, fall on deaf ears.

Judge dismisses Leisure/Reece lawsuit
Nothing in here about a "settlement." Jay Love from 1230 the Buzz indicated on his week in review show on 09/13/2002 that this was settled and that inferred an acknowledgment of wrong doing on the part of the Reeces and Mr. Washington. Unless Jay has some inside information, there was no settlement. This is the third report of this dismissal I have read and none include any settlement.

He(Tavis Smiley) also will appear on WMUB-FM's Forum talk show at 9 A.M. next Friday from the 2002 Public Radio Program Directors annual meeting at the Hilton Cincinnati Netherland Plaza.Last I checked, the Netherland Plaza was smack-dab in the middle of downtown Cincinnati. Tavis Smiley is also listed on the agenda for that Friday as part of the annual meeting.
12:30 - 1:45pmHas smiley been approached to boycott this event? Will he appear? Will there be protests of him or of the local public radio stations? Next Friday I will be on scene to find out.

Blacks point way for city
Most of the overall tone of this article is good, but Lynch's quotes are nothing but a desire for a quota system in public and private organizations. I am a supporter of Affirmative Action. When I say affirmative action I mean providing increased recruitment and advertisement of opportunities to minorities and women, but that is not a quota system. That does not mean you hire someone based on their race or their sex, whether they are black, white, a woman, or a man. Each comment from Lynch does nothing to reduce the impression that he is nothing more than a passive black separatist, looking to create or take over a local, state, or national government dominated and controlled by people of his race, and his race only. I hope this article can be a defense to that attitude and instead illustrate that joining with the city, state, and country should be the desire of everyone, including all minorities. Sectarianism is best left to the Old World.

Driving on Tylersville Road? Pack a lunch
A front-page story on West Chester? Is this an attempt by the Enquirer to keep readers who might be tempted by the Dayton Daily News? This also looks like a pro-light rail article. It is covertly biased, but to the position I favor.

Clinton tells Democrats Hagan can beat Taft
With enough money, I could be Taft. Enough is just to much for me to get. Hagan is help by Clinton's appearance, but only in getting out the base. The right wing down here hears nothing much about the governor's race, and I doubt even know the former president was in the state.

Patrol focuses on teen driver
Reactive policing will do nothing, especially when reactive to media pressure, not factual increases in incidents. Why are there more accidents in the last month? School is back in with more kids riding together during rush hour. This is as much of an "epidemic" as kidnapping teenage girls.

Pataskala officers fired over beating
Why weren’t the CBUF and the "Black Fist" out protesting here? Why are they not screaming for these officers to be arrested and charged with assault? I wonder what the race of person beaten was. Hmmm? Do I even need to guess?
These two cops do appear to be total thugs and should be arrested for assault. If the videotape shows enough to get them fired, it should be enough for an indictment.

Violent week adds shooting
I am not sure what to make of this article. "Drive By" shootings in the suburbs? Were the shooter and victim locals? It appears they were not. It would appear that inner-loop crime just happened to spill way out into the suburbs. Is this story going to fill West Chesterites with so much fear that they move back to the city? Ok, after you finish laughing at that question, ponder for me, if you will, the idea that little West Chester really should fear city crime from Hamilton, not from Cincinnati. That is their geographic reality. I do not want Cincinnati to get piled on while Hamilton goes on with its commercials promoting their great city, without mention of their historically higher crime rates than the Queen City. I am taking a cue from the Bush Administration here by making a preemptive defensive of the City. The blame for this increase crime would surely fall on Cincinnati by many of the West Chester residents. I hope their transference is kept to a minimum.

7 Ohioans among 400 richest Americans
Ok, why the hell is this a separate story? Is there a story for each state? Did NJ.Com pick up all of them? The only up note is Richard T. Farmer. I say this because I graduated from the Richard T. Farmer School of Business at Miami University.
