Porkopolis: God Is in the Details
City Beat's Gregory Flannery must be reading my blog. His comments on the local daily newspaper's "boosterism" towards Billy Graham's "Mission" was nearly as criticical as my comments.

Bronson on Vacation?
On today's Midday Program on 700 WLW-AM host Mike McConnell raised a question about Peter Bronson's Column today. He was pondering the following reference.
" Sure. If “No one can legally discharge these fireworks in Ohio,” what explains the Battle of Bunker Hill in my neighborhood last night?"
Mike asked for some of Pete's neighbors to report on this alleged incident. One person called in and said they live around the corner from Pete and did not hear this "battle". Mike speculated that maybe Pete is on vacation and meant to have this column printed on Friday. The Enquirer is not known as the most error newspaper around, so it would not surprise me if this was true. I would bet that Pete has been on vacation much long than just today. I am still shocked he has not written a column on the pledge issue. This column did appear to have a phrase, "...John Hancock might inform them that all men are endowed by their Creator — that's God — with certain unalienable rights..." , with a passing reference to the current religious issues. I will be flabbergasted if Pete does not hit that issue hard and heavy. I am puzzled why he has not tackled this issue that I am sure he has a foaming at the mouth take on the subject. When he takes on that issue, I will be here to pounce on him for it. I am making the assumption he will take a particular stance on the issue, based on prior stances on religion and the government. Pete seems to have problems telling the two apart.

Westbrook signs with Cincinnati
I usually do not cover sports much, but in the Washington Times Westbrook claimed that 80% of the fans "hate" him. I don't think he will find the fans will lover him here either, unless he helps the Bungals win games. The Seattle Times calls Westbrook a "big catch," so reports of him being a "cancer" in the locker room might not be the only prognosis.

Airport screeners here rank third in national test
Still more beating of a dead horse. The Cincinnati Airport still is in need of security personnel. I have a friend going applying for a job there today. I am not super sure my friend could make any difference to the problem. I have no solutions, mind you, short of spending a boatload of money for college educated people to run the system, but that is not reasonable to money conscious bureaucrats.

Enigma (2001)
I visited a wonderful theater here in Cincinnati, the Mariemont Theater. The movie was excellent. It was a nice blend of drama, history, romance, mystery, and spy thriller. I have to say a frumpy Kate Winslet is still a babe. I think she looks better that way.

Monday1 Edition of the WhistleBlower
The Whistleblower seems to be off on drugs. The Judge who wrote the Pledge ruling was a Nixon appointee. I guess the "blower" blew Journalism 101 off in favor of anti-democrats 101. The "blower" must have not made it to the advance classes.

Report: Fake Weapons Pass Screeners
Cincinnati Northern Kentucky Airport the worst in Security tests. Yet another shinning day for the tristate area.
