Notes from Talk Radio:
1230 the Buzz aired a commercial calling for current crack addicts to volunteer for a study of an experimental treatment for crack addiction. They will be compensated for their time. Are crack addicts known to be regular listeners of the Buzz?
Speaking of people on crack, Rev. Shannon from the Church of the Ham Sandwich went on a rant while on the Buzz today claiming every conspiracy in the book. The claims of the murder of Paul Wellstone and of American Troops on a tear in Senegal being the most entertain examples.
Baghdad Jay Love is making Iraq into a desert paradise, where the people are happy, carefree and love life under Saddam. He wants to know what we are going to tell a little 15 year old Baghdad kid why he is being “bombed”. Unless that 15-year-old kid is in the Iraqi Armed Forces or is sitting in a military target, he is not going to be bombed. Guess what Jay, almost no citizens of Baghdad have access to foreign news media. They are not informed of what is going on. If they claim to be happy it is because they either are scared not to be, or they don’t know better. I think Jay does not play the part of Talk Show Host very well. He can’t take illogically positions very convincingly, or he is just ignorant.

1st Annual International Peter Bronson Hack Conservative Columnist Awards
At this time of year I guess there can be nothing better than the International Peter Bronson Hack Conservative Columnist award. We have a unanimous winner this year and low and behold it is Peter Bronson himself, winning all categories with today’s column. Please be sure to read his column before judging how he faired in the awards. Here is a look at all of the categories:
Gall: Peter has illustrated his gall in attacking Tom Daschle for referring to the threats he has been receiving. Peter’s seem to take pleasure in forgetting the deadly anthrax letter addressed and delivered to his office.
Hysteria: Peter’s hysteria and fear that a non-paleoconservative actually has a program on TV and that television station is partially funded, under funded at that, by public funds can only be eclipsed by his glee that his überleaders now have control over all three branches of government.
Prozac: Peter went on Prozac as soon as he learned that Al Gore was not running for President. Peter thought Gore would have been the only sure fire way his boy Bush could get reelected.
Pacifism: Peter’s hatred of pacifism took shape during his vast years of military service. Oh wait, that would be the lack of his vast years of military service.
Lame Excuses: What is Peter’s excuse for bashing Ohio State, the rival of his school’s rival Michigan? Isn’t the rival of your rival your friend?
Slick Hooey: The slick way that Peter denies how GOP in the South, and sometimes in the North and West, uses race as a subtext to play politics. It is odd they don’t think people noticed George Bush at Bob Jones University, or the way John McCain was destroyed in the 2000 South Carolina primary.
Name-Calling: The names and lies that Peter’s brother in arms Phil Burress and the CCV use to defame homosexuals, atheists, and pornographers. The CCV is the American Taliban. They are theocratic fascists just like Osama bin Laden.
Hypocrisy: Well, Peter is a hypocrite on many things, but when it comes to Amanda Mayes he is correct.
Denial: I think Peter is in denial if he claims the Bengals have or had any real coaches.
Paranoia: Peter is not paranoid, except when it comes to the all of the black activists out to get him. Well, they are out to get him.
Dishonorable Mentions: Peter’s many other hack columns:
Miami U. - Free Bill O'Reilly
Conservatives rare species on campus
Antiwar dictionary - Hooray for unilateralism by a cowboy president
Religious freedom - It's not easy being Christians
Pornography victimless? - Listen to these horror stories
'The right to life...'

Retailers worry about loss of another elite store
This kind of store sounds like a very specialized type of store. It would not rely on foot traffic or location as its means of attracting business. Instead it would rely on targeted advertisement and reputation. This store stayed downtown out of ease. Why more when it matters not where their store is (with in reason). I would bet their rent went up, or property taxes went up if they own, or they wanted a newer facility. I really doubt they left because of downtown. If we really ask why, I think the answer is they felt slighted. Saks got help, and they got the cold shoulder.

Hot Seat Notes:
Kathy Wilson gives her support to the "Moratorium" meeting while appearing on Hot Seat. Kathy also named an up and comer for 2003 and it was Jason Fagone of Cincinnati Magazine. I am currently reading his two articles in the January issue, and hope to have a few comments posted in the next few days.
Eric Kearney also stated there were 600 shootings last year in Cincinnati and 70% were blacks? WOW, that is a huge number of shootings. I wonder if that included all from the county or the metro area. I think his source was from University Hospital, so that might include shootings never getting reported to the police. The number that he was not able to report was how many of the 600 shooters were blacks? The percentage would likely be 70% or higher. The figure was also missing from other year-end summaries of the races of homicide victims.
No one appears to be updating Hot Seat’s website to often, it has a limited description of the show and lists only the regular panelists.

Spiced Sass goes on a tear with a rehash of the riots while discussing the "moratorium" and harps on the downtown decline of retail.
City to Congress: Where's our money?
Why not just say it like you mean it Chaz: "SHOW ME THE MONEY." If that does not get their attention, nothing will. Well, Charlie Luken would be lucky to get Rep. Chabot or Rep. Portman to return his phone calls, let alone come through with Federal dollars for Cincinnati. Portman and Chabot are in safe districts and don't need to be prodded by the GOP leadership to vote with them. Therefore Cincinnati will get nothing and better like it, or we will less than nothing.

Cincinnati's mean streets: 65 lives in 365 days
One big problem with this list. When the alleged murders are listed, the race of them is not identified, but the victim's race is identified. I realize most of these are unsolved and not know, but why not list a description of the person(s) wanted? It is a common belief that the media tends to hide or shield the race of alleged criminals, but in this case when providing a summary, why not include the information? Why also doesn't the Post or the Enquirer keep a running report of the victims and alleged or accused perpetrators of crimes? In the age of the Internet, why isn't the police blotter online? Maybe the CPD should publish its crime reports? No, they couldn't do that. Well, if the County Clerk can do, why can't the CPD? Why didn't the collaborative agreement include such a thing? If people think the police are coving up incidents, why not put it all on the Internet? They don't have to include evidence, but they can at least say what happened, whom it happened to, and who was arrested for it.

Undercover drug officer stabbed in possible 'hit'
The headline and the story are misleading. If the officer had just left the FOP gym I would assume he was not undercover. He works undercover, but if he was attacked 13 minutes after he left the FOP lodge, I would logically surmise he was not undercover. I am not sure if the media is playing this story up into a real life cop show, or if they are misunderstanding the terminology the police are referring to with terms like "undercover." The next thing I might see is a reference on one of the Local TV News (infotainment) broadcasts comparing this inducement to the police in the upcoming moving NARC. I sometimes can't tell if local TV news gets pointers from the folks at E! or not.

Notes to the Media:
Buckeyes Win Title, Ending Miami's Streak
No, Miami University lost 5 games this year.
Ohio State Tops Miami in Thrilling Double-Overtime Fiesta Bowl
Miami University did not play in the Fiesta Bowl. Miami; at 7-5 was passed over for a bowl game by the BCS Machine.
Buckeyes Upset Miami to Take Title
Miami University did not play Ohio State this year, all though both schools do play every year in Hockey where they battle for the Ohio Cup.
Miami QB struggles in final game
Ben Roethlisberger did struggle in his final game against UCF, but that game was over a month ago.
Bottom Line:
Miami is in Ohio, Coral Gables is in Florida.
Buckeyes Win Title, Ending Miami's Streak
No, Miami University lost 5 games this year.

Cincinnati Radio Notes:
Mike McConnell is advocating debtor's prison now. His prior support for Feudalism is starting to take shape. Mike's blossoming ideology is budding into a new/old idea needing a new name, maybe neo-fuedalism. Their followers are neo-aristocrats. Maybe we can call them neo-nobles. When Mike starts calling himself the Earl of West Chester, I think I will call myself Robin Hood.
Kabaka Oba talking with Ken Lawson on 1230theBuzz today says that spouting anti-Semitism is not bigotry, like the KKK, it is just exercising free speech. I have to ask: does anyone honestly take this guy seriously? I know in public many in the black community will not denounce other blacks unless they are personal maligned, but in private to they see this guy's a crackpot?
WSAI has ditched the elderly. 1530AM is switching to 1950's and 1960's music, instead of 1940's music. Dusty Rhodes is reported to be heading to WSAI as a DJ. The real question is, will WSAI still run its overnight nutty religious programming?
1160 WBOB has dumped ESPN for conservative talk radio, make that paleo-conservative talk radio. What does that make WLW and WKRC? WBOB also needs to update its website. WBOB is now "News/Talk 1160 WBOB. 1160 is owned by Salem Communications who also own 1050 WTSJ. Salem Communications is basically a for profit Christian broadcasting company. They include other non-religious programming but that mainly consists of sports or conservative talk radio. There is no online listing of their new programming schedule, but I for one will be sure to ignore this station at every chance I get. WBOB will most likely become the radio whipping boy for me. WLW and WKRC will start to look moderate in comparison. What a great day for radio. Diversity in radio is such a new thing, but when you have neo-conservatives, paleo-conservatives, and libertarians, what else can a intellectual want? I thanks Zeus for NPR.

CityBeat: Your Negro Tour Guide "Uncle Tom's Cabin"
Kathy calls everyone out with this column. She straddles the two worlds she defines, black and white. She lives in one with internal conflict, and she interacts with the other with still more conflict. I guess she feels like her column has come to represent the house slave, thus the Uncle Tom title. I am not sure if I would use that comparison if I were going to sum up her column. She tries to be objective with her column, straddling the line, but her personal background is rooted with issue that she can't shake. Some of those issues tilt her opinions to a level that comes across as a large chip on her should she is just begging someone to try and knock off. Okay, my bad pop-psychology exercise is now complete. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar, a cracker is just a saltine, and fried chicken is just lunch.

Coalition for a Just Cincinnati is Falling Apart, Again
Linda Newman has resigned as co-chair of the CJC. Her reasons result from the anti-Semitic protest carried out by the Black Fist on December 4th, 2002 which included CJC co-chair Amanda Mayes. Her letter rambles on with a political laundry list of progressive/socialist/communistic ideas masquerading as civil rights, but overall her letter is good. I am pleased that many members of the CJC have woken up to the hypocrisy that existed in their own leadership with Mayes and Livingston. Both are opportunists to the extreme, peppered with bigotry, racism, and a greed for power. Linda and the rest of the boycotters need to rethink their tactics. This protest was an obvious ends to their means of confrontation. Instead of providing solutions, the boycotters made demands like it was Dog Day Afternoon.
The real question is: Who will gain custody of the CJC website www.cincyboycott.org? According to a Whois search, it is registered to Linda Newman, so unless Nate and Amanda want to go to court, I would think Linda would get custody. Maybe Nate and Amanda could get weekend visitations, plus holidays. They better get Kenny Lawson working on that pronto.
Side note: Kabaka Oba's letter (last letter "Free Speech") to City Beat sounds like something an Islamic Jim Jones might compose.

King III wants event canceled
The son of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. has asked the city to cancel a breakfast honoring his father, saying it would violate an economic boycott against the city by black activists.Thanks for nothing Marty!
Coalition gathers support
This article really paints the picture of a different rally than the one painted in yesterday's Post. This article paints the picture of a group like MADD. Damon Lynch's presence is underplayed compared to the Post and the Nation of Islam's involvement is conspicuously absent.

Facelift for Princeton schools?
The question to me is will this inner suburban area agree to this action? The inner city district failed to pass a school capital improvement plan this past November, mainly due to non-city voters. Is a property tax increase easier in the city or the suburbs? I will bet that most voters in the Princeton district will push for one of these options. If Cincinnati had presented a more modest plan, would it have passed? I think it would have won easily, if they had limited it or had broken up the plan into multiple phases. Next year CPS will hopefully have a scaled down plan that will pass with ease.

Newcomer wants slice of the pie
Bruno's is only good when it is fresh and it needs no toppings, cheese is plenty. The amount of grease on it will give you a heart attack on the spot, but it is worth it. Many of my freshman nights end with a delivered Bruno's, a game of euchre or hearts, and a big grease stain on the floor.

Protest at CityBeat
Kabaka Oba and his merry band of bigots were out in "force" this hour out in front of the City Beat offices. I counted about 6 or 7 protestors, 3 or 4 people who I would guess are City Beat staff, and at least one white guy yelling back at Kabaka about "Jesus" or some other such nonsense. I think Oba was blathering on about the CIA, FBI, or KKK or some other useless propaganda. One man, who was with the protest I think, had a camera and was looking at me after I had passed the crowd and watched for a minute from across the street. I hope he does not think I was a CIA agent checking out the "mighty" Black Fist. I might have given off the narc vibes, so I can see why I would stick out. I don't know if Greg Flannery was outside or not, but he did mention this protest in his latest column, which is not online yet, but should be today. If you were there Greg, I was the white guy in the green coat with glasses who walked by smiling at this free speech car wreck. If I was a totally synical guy I would call this a PR stunt for City Beat and the Black Fist, much like the plot of the 1987 classic movie Dragnet where BAIT magazine used an anti-porn cursading preacher to gin up circulation by launing a campaign against the magazine. I honestly don't think that is true, but it sure looks like it on the surface.
All in All I give my 20 second observation of the protest a 4 out of 5 stars rating. The rebuttal protestor was the apex of the event and it would have been nothing above a trite abortion clinic stye protest without him. If there is video, I would love to see a copy. Who knew that watching a small group of racists/bigots protesting could be so entertaining.

Black coalition: Time to put an end to killing
It is time now to put an end to killing? What was wrong with last year? Why now? Are these groups embarrassed by the number of blacks killed by blacks in this city? It appears that they are, and can no longer blame it on others. When a vast majority of those who are either under arrest or suspected for murders in Cincinnati are black, can everyone see that there is a disconnect? There is a problem. I commend this group for seeing a problem exists, but I think it is late in coming. If you have to make this kind of statement you know you have issues:
On a different note: I have learned that tomorrow the Black Fist’s protest of City Beat is set to go off at Noon. They appear to be upset with City Beat’s correct characterization of the Black Fist’s anti-Jewish protest last month as bigoted. When you carry around signs like this, what you expect? If I have time, I may drop by and observe the show.

The moratorium calls for an end to turf and gang warfare, elimination of illegal drugs, drug trafficking and street crimes. Also, "the return of black pride and black love."I have a problem with some members of the coalition, yet another coalition, but it is not reported to include the Black Fist nor the CJC. They may support the effort, but some in this new coalition are not on the best of terms with the CJC leaders or the Black Fist. Whenever you have the Nation of Islam involved however, concern is still warranted. Including “black pride” is something I find offensive. It to me sounds no different than someone considering “white pride” offensive, which I find insulting as well. I wonder if the Nation of Islam or other groups with similar bigoted/racist beliefs influenced this terminology.
