Bush tickets show connections count
I guess Greg Korte was able to twist the Chamber of Commerce's arm to get this list. I am glad I was not the only one asking where this list was. Here is the link to the complete list. This list also answers a question of mine from a prior post. Peter Bronson got an invitation to the speech, not a press pass. He was clearly there as a Bush groupie, not as a journalist, and his column showed that most succinctly.

I think I can agree with Chris Anderson: Patrick Caton is a bigot, a bad cop, and should resign. I will not make him out to be a "racist." I do not think the use of the "N-word" or any "racial slur" is grounds to call someone a racist. If that were the case 75% of the callers to 1230 the Buzz would be racists. Racism is a term that I believe is misused by most people. It has morphed into the label of choice used against anyone who does not agree with policies that most or the most vocal blacks profess.

I also agree with Bill Cunningham's tendency to be an apologist for the police force. His knee-jerk blue shield defense is more automatic than PETA protest at a P&G shareholder's meeting.

This just brings to mind the movie The Man with Two Brains starring Steve Martin. Where is Dr. Hfuhruhurr when you need him?

Never have I seen a more one sided set of letters. So much for diversity.

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.
