Luken picks police review panel
I wonder win the screaming will begin? Only 3 of 7 are black. I will assume that the Buzz will be ringing with the scorn of the black bigots (aka activists).

Cincinnati Post Editorial: "More Statehouse meddling"
The Post takes a conventional position on the Pledge of Allegiance issue. I will take a bigger stance. The law that changed the pledge in the 1950's is unconstitutional. Forcing School districts to set aside time for it smells of forced patriotism. If I want to wave the flag and yell like a buck-toothed hayseed from Butt Lick County, Ohio, then I will do it. Indoctrinating children on a sense of blind patriotism is just what it appears to be, a cheap election year tactic. It is no surprise a Republican introduced this issue, but it is troubling that it passed the Ohio House overwhelmingly.

Boycotters won't protest mission
The local Cincinnati Boycotters will not be out protesting, but some other nutty fundamentalists will be protesting Billy Graham. I will gladly just stay away. My neighbor's advertisement on her door for the Graham gathering is the only forced exposure that I have to endure on this event. I will be staying away, as far as possible from it.

PULFER: Channel surfing
I don't think I agree with Laura on this one. I don't want to make this society into one geared toward children. Adults rule the world. Children should not be what we shape our life around. Children are part of a parent’s life, mostly the focus of their life, but not a control.
I also had a real life sighting of Ms. Pulfer today while at lunch. The Tower Place mall had a fire alarm go off around 12:45 PM or so and she was waiting outside the same door as my co-workers and I were. I think she was just there for lunch or shopping, but she went right to work asking the security guard what happened, ever the reporter.

CityBeat: Porkopolis (2002-06-20)
A typical Greg Flannery column. I find myself seeing more and more of difference between the progressive/populist City Beat and my liberalism.

Cincinnati Copwatch: "The Streets is Watchin"
Thanks to City Beat I ran across this website and I hope it amounts to more than it is thus far. It has a good main page, but it has no content. I would have expected to see some type of reporting of accounts of the allegations the group makes in it premise. This site appears to be the work of activists close to the boycott backers. It is unclear as to which particular faction this group belongs to, but I will keep checking the site to see if it adds any content.

CityBeat: Your Negro Tour Guide (2002-06-20)
O Brother, Where Art Thou?
Kathy Wilson wrote a fairly honest open letter to "black males ages 13-55 years old." Ms. Wilson has in the past not been as direct in address a big issue facing many people in this city. The only problem is that from my perspective she only pointed out a problem, and did not indicate any tangible solutions.
