The Nando Times: Judge impanels jury to investigate Cincinnati abuse claims
A short AP story picked up by the Nando Times, but one that does two things. It keeps the priest sex scandal going, but is shows that the legal system is taking action. I credit Mike Allen. I won't vote for him, but I applaud his ballsy actions against his own Catholic Church.

USATODAY.com - Crime keeps Cincinnati reeling
This was in the news yesterday. Why is this happening? Is this a result of the Police slowdown? I know they deny there was a slowdown, and every rabid police groupie will deny it as well, but there was one last year. That slowdown cost lives. Indirectly of course, but still the root cause. The criminals saw a window, and pounced on the raw meet of the street.

Protecting their names, budgets
This was on the front page of the Enquirer. It is older news, at least the Miami lawsuits. I think it is really difficult to copyright a generic name like "redhawks." If they say the "Miami Redhawks," that would be a different story. I hope they don't sue the guys at www.miamihawktalk.com for copyright infringement. There are enough lawyers who visit the sight to win that case, but what is more important is that there are a lot of WEALTHY ALUMNI who use that website. I am one of the non-wealthy alumni users, in terms of financial wealth only, as if to a Miami Business School Alumnus there is any other kind, but I digress.

BRONSON: What if?
I actually laughed Bronson's latest. It was witty and I agree with most of what he says. I am not sure if he is getting more liberal or I am getting more conservative or just that some issues are just not ideologically based. Yea, that's the “voucher”.

City on guard against terrorism
The only type of "terrorism" Cincinnati would have any real concern for is domestic terrorism. The International terrorists are going to stay in big media markets. Our media outlets would provide horrible coverage of any event in the city. The April 2001 riots media coverage was horrid. If you watched only TV you would have no clue what was going on. Radio did a slightly better job, but only 1230 The BUZZ was in the middle of riots. Race was the reason the local media did not generally go into OTR then, but it was their race and the rioters attacks on anyone appearing to be white that kept the media on the sidelines and without the biggest story in Cincinnati for a hundred years.
A threat of some fringe group trying to capitalize on the racial tensions in the city is far more a threat than Islamofascist suicide bombers blowing up the Tyler-Davidson Fountain. I would worry more about racist groups like the “Black Fist” or “Imperial Klans of America” fermenting so much hate that a fringe member(s) of those groups carry out the violence filled rhetoric of their “leaders.”

Taxpayers won't move WCPO from city, Luken says
Chaz is correct! Let Eminent Domain apply here, and find a bigger sport for them downtown. If they don't want to stay downtown, then they get nothing. They should want to stay downtown. Downtown is where their focus should be. Screw the suburbs!

Sung to the Gary Burbank/David Letterman mailbag theme: Oh, Letters, RADEL has letters, and wanted the long weekend off!
