ChannelCincinnati.com - Mom: Daughter In Pledge Case Saddened By Ruling
What a lousy article based on bad reporting. This has no place on the front page of the website. I guess some Christians working at channelcincinnati.com are up in arms of this story. I would prefer they do a better job of reporting the news, but this is local TV. They don't know what news is, they only know what gets ratings.

This is a nice Cincinnati Area message board. It works well, has a great format and so far is not filled with spammers or complete morons. Maybe a bigot or two, but with them life would be boring.

CityBeat: Your Negro Tour Guide (2002-07-11)
Kathy needs to learn the difference between what people call "civil rights" and "economic rights". Civil rights are most commonly thought of as personal freedoms, like voting; not being discriminated against race, gender, or sexual orientation; freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and privacy rights. Economic rights deal with doing business as in operating a company, a small business, or other entrepreneurial enterprises.

The claims of economic repression by the boycotters are the biggest fallacy of their protests. Anyone in this city can start his or her own business. The problem is you can't just make it happen by magic. It takes work. It also does take financing. Blacks can get financing, but not if they don't have a profitable business in mind, and not if they have no experience in working in that type of business. No one is going to lend me money to start a barbershop at 12th and Vine Street. Why you ask? I have no experience in cutting hair, and the crime rate in that location is not conducive for a profitable business. Is it racist to think I could not do it? I really could do it, with enough money, courage, and police protection, but not in a reasonable amount of time. Time is something Kathy Wilson and the boycotters don't want to consider. They want instant revenge on the white man, and she seems to think that Gay White men (all of them are not conservatives as she claims, I bet not even most) will want to trade in selling their souls(sic) to the devil(sic) in order to gain the freedom they can win on their own.
Cincinnati Post: It looked so easy back then
The Post doesn’t blame Bush for being envious of Clinton's Presidency. The problem is that Bush is blaming all of those disasters and scandals and crimes that took place under his watch on Clinton. Bush is not the only Republican doing so; a majority of them do it. The Blame game is not the GOP's main tactic.

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.
