CityBeat: Railing Against Transit Tax
I support Issue 7. Doug Trapp presented a good summary of the two campaigns For and Against Issue 7. Both camps seem to be playing to the stupid voter, but a majority of people would qualify as stupid, whether they vote or note. Therefore it just depends on who can play to the whims of the bigger mass of stupid people.

CityBeat: Your Negro Tour Guide "Dead Man Walking"
The basic legal fact that Kathy and most people screaming for Jorg's head fail to realize is that Jorg was found not guilty on the assault charge. The jury was hung on the involuntary manslaughter charge. The involuntary manslaughter was alleged to have been caused by the assault. If he did not assault him, the underlying offense is taken out of play. The defense could argue that Roger Owensby Jr. was not assaulted, and that if he was not assaulted, his death was not legally involuntary manslaughter. Bottom line, all of the new evidence you have, short of an admission of guilt, will most likely not be enough to convict Jorge of involuntary manslaughter, assuming fair jury is seated, not one bent on ignoring the law and imposing emotional justice. That is why Mike Allen is not going to try Jorg again.
This explanation will never satisfy most who want blood. That is common for humans. We don’t do a great job of thinking with our heads. We tend to let our emotions run the show. I wish Kathy Wilson would take the time to use her head. She is looking for “Absolute Justice”, meaning she wants her emotions satisfied, not adherence to and fair application of the law.

Luken: Drop boycott lawsuit
Why does Luken want the CAC to drop this lawsuit? The boycotters don't have the constitutional right to use intimidation and indirect threats to force a party to a contract to break said contract. Even if the CAC loses, I hope they keep the boycotters tied up in court.

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.

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.
