"Answers" in Genesis talk (2nd item)
Attention to all morons in Cincinnati, you can be treated to a wonderful morning of faux-science by the likes of the international man of creationist propaganda and lies himself: Ken Ham. Why would any religious person of with even a remote level of credibility promote this delusional man's rantings in a newspaper column? This guy thinks the Earth is only 6,000 years old. How can parents willingly allow their kids to be fed lies that this? The allure of theocratic fascist religions will never cease to amaze me.

Show Somebody the Money
Chris Anderson on the Empire Theater debacle. The folks on the Buzz's Week in Review on Friday used this a reason to slam Luken and Reece. I would like to blame all of city council for not following up on the issue, but most of the blame lies with LaShawn R. Pettus-Brown. John Schlagetter has a few emails with city officials on this.

NASA Sets Its Sights on Nuclear Space Rocket
The timing sucks rocks, but the idea is excellent. If Bush does release this as part of the State of the Union, I will be surprised and disappointed. The story will get missed in the Iraqi shuffle, and we will not be able to find the money for it right now. I hope the Democrats do not make this into an issue of affordability, but I fear they will. This issue is much too important for the usual partisan pissing match. The story was also in the Guardian

Homeland Security Research Center Meeting
The meeting was held in Columbus, but the center is based in Cincinnati. I don't feel any safer either way.

Score One for Kathy Y. Wilson
The Cincinnati Post reports that the murder of Gregory A. Beauchamp on New Year's Eve is being considered a hate crime. Kathy made that case in her City Beat column last week. Will Mike Allen champion this case or will he keep it under raps? How will the political cards fall? Alienate many blacks for exposing more black crime and the level of bigotry against homosexuals in the black community, or alienate the CCV, Phil Burress, Peter Bronson, and Phil Heimlich.
UPDATE: WLWT-NBC lead off with this story on tonight's 11:00 PM broadcast. Where were they on January 1st? Where were they the day after Kathy Wilson's column?

UC athlete cleared on alcohol charge; Cops and Prosecutor out for Doughnuts (2nd item)
Serious questions arise from this:
How about an investigation into possible corruption? Who used to be a UC trustee and is currently the Hamilton County Prosecutor? The name Mike Allen comes to mind. Who investigates the prosecutor? Who investigates him for allegedly allowing political activities to occur in the Prosecutor's office by PO staff? Allowing Mike Allen to be Prosecutor and Political chief in this area gives off the stink of corruption. I may start rethinking the validity of his statements in defense of putting a City Attorney on the Grand Jury for Ron Twitty. This is a man who has the power to do what ever he wants, and will get a pass from the County, the State Attorney General, and the Governor. Friends don’t let friends run amuck as prosecutor, unless the friend is a Republican looking to keep the skeletons buried.
Serious questions arise from this:
Judge Ralph E. Winkler dismissed the charge after prosecutors failed to produce toxicology results and officers involved in the case failed to appear in courtWhat college did the prosecutors in the this case go to? What college did the police go to, or at least root for? How can the police officers involved in this case not appear in court? Now one else in the media cares to ask this question? I know I am a Miami Alum and I have my bias, but who is foolish enough to think that police could not get to the courthouse for a high profile case?

CityBeat: Drunk, With Power
If the first incident with the two police officers and Ms. Linthicum happened on a college campus, it would have been called rape by nearly everyone. I call it rape. If someone is clearly drunk, and a police officer is a good judge at determining intoxication, then these police officers would have knowingly had non-consensual sex with such a drunken person.
Both cops are gone, but these cops should have been put on trial. It is strange that this issue did not get the rise from the boycotters that other police misconduct produced. I wonder if the boycotters got a look at Ms. Linthicum and lost interest. I applaud City Beat for following up on this story and giving the victim a chance to speak her side of the story.

Talking Points Memo: The Cracker Defense! Josh Marshall picks up the story Chris Anderson and I discussed earlier this week. Josh was one of the people, if not the person, who kept the Trent Lott segregation story going. If you have not read his blog before, I highly recommend it.

Focus on Square, analyst tells city
The ideas are great, but with guys like Phil Heimlich in county government hording the suburban dollars, nothing will be spent on the city that can't go in Indian Hill or Blue Ask, or just not happen at all.

John Schlagetter makes observations on Chris Anderson's comments regarding so called segregation in Cincinnati. Chris has followed up on yesterday's remarks with more.
Love on the Rocks
It appears that John Cranley, Cincinnati Councilman, was dating older woman Leslie Ghiz, who is a former city administrator now running for City Council. They are just friends at the present. I guess the sparks could not fly between a democrat and republican enough to start a fire, even here in Cincinnati. Well, maybe in springtime, things might change.

Ohio Senate Republicans defend their new leader
The wagons are circling as expected. They are going to hunker down for the winter and hope the cavalry comes before the war drums play again.

Dead prostitute testified against cop This quote should have been a little higher in the article.
Homicide investigators said they "haven't ruled anybody out," but don't suspect that Knight is connected to Mapp's death.This women was called by prosecutors "a brave little soul," but was wanted by police for allegedly cutting a women during a robbery. The cop she testified against, for years ago, appears to be scum, but this story has a certain yellow flavor.

MAKE SURE TO READ Chris Anderson's comments on Ohio Senator Doug White. Chris brings up White's past habit of racial insensitivity and White's self declared "Hillbilly" background reported in the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Doug White sounds more and more like what might be called the stereotypical northern prejudiced bigot. White is not a racist and is not anti-Semitic, but he just does not like black or Jewish culture much, or at least not enough to know that Jews don't like to be stereotyped as greedy, and blacks don't like to be treated like good luck charms (property). Is this the kind of person who should be President of the Ohio Senate? I am starting to consider no. Now, first I must admit that he is a Republican, and I surely am not for most Republicans, but I especially don’t like those Republican’s that try to instill on the government a sense of unsophisticated piety rooted in a faux homespun attitude. Hiding behind a rustic upbringing as the defense of personal prejudice is not going to fly, even here in caustic free Ohio.

The WhistleBlower is Gone
I do not know why the Blower is gone, but I wonder if Nate Livingston's reported threats of a lawsuit caused problems? The url http://www.thewhistleblower.net now points to http://www.newsbyfax.com. The Blower may still exist via fax and/or email, but it appears that the post from the weekend was no joke.

State senator says he didn't know remark was offensive
Leave it to the Republican’s to make stupid remarks. How could any adult not know that it is offensive to generalize about a minority, referring to the old stereotype of Jews as cheap or wheelers and dealers? This slip of the tongue is not as bad as Trent Lott’s comments last month, but it indicates a lack of tact and decorum that is not becoming of an Ohio State Senator, let alone the President of the Ohio Senate.
The Republicans here in Ohio will let this slide without a single peep. Local conservative talk radio has said nary a word about it, and will not. I was impressed with the Enquirer’s story from Sunday, but they would not miss a juicy story like this no matter whom they endorsed. It is never good for Ohio when this makes an Israeli newspaper or a British paper.
UPDATE: The Ohio Lt. Gov. Jennette Bradley (R) comments on Doug White's remarks.

Square redevelopment sought
This idea sounds great. If it can capture the feel around the main square in Cleveland it will be a boon to the local nightlife. The only problem is, what about "The Banks?" I thought this kind of development was earmarked for the space between the stadiums. Is this another sign that riverfront parking will be abundant?
