Pataskala officers fired over beating
Why weren’t the CBUF and the "Black Fist" out protesting here? Why are they not screaming for these officers to be arrested and charged with assault? I wonder what the race of person beaten was. Hmmm? Do I even need to guess?
These two cops do appear to be total thugs and should be arrested for assault. If the videotape shows enough to get them fired, it should be enough for an indictment.

Violent week adds shooting
I am not sure what to make of this article. "Drive By" shootings in the suburbs? Were the shooter and victim locals? It appears they were not. It would appear that inner-loop crime just happened to spill way out into the suburbs. Is this story going to fill West Chesterites with so much fear that they move back to the city? Ok, after you finish laughing at that question, ponder for me, if you will, the idea that little West Chester really should fear city crime from Hamilton, not from Cincinnati. That is their geographic reality. I do not want Cincinnati to get piled on while Hamilton goes on with its commercials promoting their great city, without mention of their historically higher crime rates than the Queen City. I am taking a cue from the Bush Administration here by making a preemptive defensive of the City. The blame for this increase crime would surely fall on Cincinnati by many of the West Chester residents. I hope their transference is kept to a minimum.

Miamians get on Jeopardy, and they don't have to pay for their own sweatshirt as well! I missed the Enquirer Story on this one, well I did not miss it. There wasn't one to be found.

7 Ohioans among 400 richest Americans
Ok, why the hell is this a separate story? Is there a story for each state? Did NJ.Com pick up all of them? The only up note is Richard T. Farmer. I say this because I graduated from the Richard T. Farmer School of Business at Miami University.

Judge frees morgue photographer
Condon should not return to prison. His sentence was far too harsh, and the trial Judge seemed to be using jail as an interrogation tool, trying to get him to name names. The man is a ghoul, twisted, and a bit nutty, but the injury he caused was not extensive and he had some kind of permission from multiple people in the coroner’s office. I hope his appeal somehow allows him to receive a reduced sentence, and released with time served.

Election case not dismissed
The plot thickens. Phil has a problem, but how far it will go before the election is not known. The problem for the public is that this will not get much play from the Enquirer, evidenced by its absence in today's edition. I will be looking in tomorrow’s. 700 WLW will not report this since their parent company is part of the scandal, so the details will not be known. Phil will have to rely on his campaign money and legions of GOP backers loyal to the death to win, which should on paper allow him to win. This might keep him from going on the attack, but with his friends at Clear Channel will do what they can to get him into office.

Mike McConnell and Double Standards
Mike's show today had two guests. One was from Stonewall Cincinnati, and the other was from the Young American Foundation promoting a list of college course that he claimed were bad. Mike rode the person from Stonewall very tough and wasted the entire time discussing the charter issue, instead of the current news where Stonewall removed the boycott backers as leaders of the group. The guy from the YAF was brought on and he and make had fun going over his list of "bad" college course, only one Mike questioned being there. I was displease with Mike's uneven treatment of the two guests. The Stonewall person got the treatment one would expect from a talk radio host, the other man was not even asked the motives and purpose of the group he represented, and even why and how he formulated his list. I was so riled by this disparity, that I sent Mike an email:
His response was that it should have been obvious that this group was conservative and Stonewall was liberal, as well as being flippant with my comments. My point was that his station asks hard questions to liberals, and soft questions to conservatives, so I guess that is the only to know who is who. He is telling me that I am right, I have to assume. I wish he would not make his listeners assume. I wish he would be up front with the motives of his guests. He presented this guy as a person who completed a survey of college courses in a scientific and honest manner. Instead it was a group with an agenda. His information was nothing but an exercise in cherry picking.

Mike,
That site is nothing but a right wing political action group. Why do you
not state on the air that this guy is from a right wing conservative group?
That would be reasonable, but is it just assumed that everyone who gets no
hard questions from the hosts on your station is a conservative? Mike, if
your station broadcast TV pictures it would just be FOX News.
