CityBeat: War Cries in Cincinnati
Greg Flannery reports between 2,000 and 3,000 protestors gather outside Union Terminal to voice opposition to Bush's War plans. With Greg’s obvious anti-war bias, I would call these numbers high unless you add in Pro-Bush supporters out there with signs as well. Other press reports place the number around 1,000.

Recorded racial slur puts Caton off streets
OK, I wonder if the black community will see this as revenge on Caton for being a disliked by the Chief, like was claimed about Twitty's prosecution. It was claimed then that Twitty was being treated unfairly. Will those who supported Twitty call for every officer who spouts any racial slur to be forced to desk duty? No matter what the race and no matter the word. Blacks can’t use “nigger” and whites can’t use “cracker.” I guess cheese and crackers is not going to be on the menu any longer at the police cafeteria. This guy sounds like a bigoted jerk and may be a bad cop, but that does not mean he is a racist.

BRONSON: Bush's visit
What a sucker Bronson is for a dog and pony show. You stack the audience with GOP supporters and Peter is shocked at level of awe Bush's voter base gives him. If Bush had guts he would go before a hostile crowd. Bush has lived a sheltered life, even before being President. As President not only is he sheltered from physical harm, he is sheltered from all dissent. Bush could never be confronted with an opposing idea, which would not look good. Bush could not handle a heckler or even a sincere direct question. I can understand that Mr. Bronson is a Bush fan, and was in awe of seeing him in person, but his column is like a 14 year old girl’s review of the N'SYNC concert. By the way, did he get a ticket to the speech or a press pass? Also, what excuse can he give for the White House not issuing the guest list?

Grand jury rejects charge against man who was arrested
How does this kid not get indicted for something? Not even contributing to the delinquency of a minor? I doubt we will see the CJC or the BUF out protesting this grand jury's motives or biases.
WCPO's story.

Selective who's who invited
"Neither the White House nor the chamber of commerce would release a definitive list of invitees. "
My question is why will the White House nor the Chamber of Commerce not release the list of attendees? Do they not want someone like to be review it and find out that it was a “who's who” of GOP party faithful? There were most likely only a handful of democrats in the building, and not many who did not vote for Bush. This is another example of secrecy by this white house. It is a small and petty one, but that is what makes little sense. This list is not an issue for them not to report. The only reason is that is would make them look bad. That is far more important to the White House, than openness.
