Erlanger native among WTC dead
I am very surprised the Enquirer missed this. I am more surprised to see that Xavier appears to have missed it as well.
Hagan puts new duck ad on the Web
Surprise, Surprise, a fair article on Hagen. I do wonder how the AFLAC lawsuit will turn out. I really do not think they have a case. I would like to see if they have contributed to Taft or to the GOP.
UPDATE from the Columbus Dispatch: The Federal Judge hearing the case refused to issue a temporary stay, allowing the ad to go on in use while the court proceedings continue.
Patton Says Allegations Of Affair Groundless
I don't care about his sex like. I don't trust anyone who has had a "secret" affair, so her credibility is as questionable as hers. I do care if the governor misused his power and punished this person for allegedly breaking up their relationship.
UPDATE: An Ouch for Patton; this story has made CNN. NewsNight with Aaron Brown even ran a large section of the WHAS-11 TV report as part of CNN program.
Cincinnati Post's Article
Pipe Bomb Found In Winton Woods
This article is as lengthy as the WLWT article, but seems to have more to it. Maybe it is all just in my head.
Local Bomb Scare Yields No Clues
What an in-depth report. The detail is amazing. This information will cause me to ponder on this occurrence all night long.

Lawyer claims flaws in Boyles indictment
The actions of this attorney must stem from the Twitty Grand Jury debacle. Is this an attorney doing his job by stretching the truth, or is the Grand Jury process a joke? I hope this is just a lawyer reaching for threads with a doomed defense. I would guess that every defense lawyer is going to look for any uncrossed "t" to help raise doubt over every Hamilton County indictment. I wonder how the reputation of Mr. Fagal, foreman of the Twitty Grand Jury, is faring at City Hall. Will he remain employed there much longer?
Boycott leaders protest prosecutor
Are the boycotters going to protest Tavis Smiley? Who is that you ask??? You need to read my prior post. I am surprised I have not heard anything else about Tavis Smiley. The conference he is taking part in is for program directors for public radio stations. They are a very influential segment of the media. I thought about email the various local media outlets to ask if they were aware of any protests for this event. I would not expect a reply, but would like to see if they reported the story. I'll just have to wait and see.
