WLWT Reporter's Brother: Sniper Suspect 'Sat On My Couch'
Next we will hear: Third Cousin of Metro Bus Driver States: 'Sniper mowed my lawn'.
Alert trucker: 'I'm no hero'
The local media are going to milk this part of the story dry. WLW is already beating its chest as the source of the trucker's information to make the call to the police. The rest of local media had their say: Enquirer, WCPO, WLWT, WKRC, WXIX.
Cincinnati police accused of beating African American residents to face lawsuits
If blacks have been abused in this city for years, why are there not more than 15 people filing a lawsuit? If this happens nearly ever day here in Cincinnati, then why are not nearly 300 people filing a lawsuit for this years incidents alone?

BRONSON: Harry Belafonte
Peter missed the issue on Belafonte. The slavery Belafonte speaks of is the slavery of blacks and people of color to the white man's Capitalism. Belafonte has all of the earmarks of a communist. I hate to sound like a Goldwater backer, but he's a "dirty commie." As a liberal I know one when I see one.
Charter school refuses to let inspectors in
It was only a matter of time before this was made in to a race issue. This school is operating illegally. School Officials should be held in contempt of court if they refuse to allow court ordered State inspectors into their facility. If a charter school is to exist using public (State) funds, then it must comply with the strings the State adds to those funds. Parents of these kids should put pressure on the school administrators to comply with the State, instead of playing the race card in the media. It is not a good educational practice to move a school during the school year. I question the abilities of those who let such a thing happen to a school. Parents should be concerned about those issues, instead of crying wolf.

The Cincinnati Post Endorses Taft
This is not a surprise for the Post. Taft is the hometown boy in a Republican controlled town. The interesting part of the editorial is in this quote.
That hasn't stopped the caveman wing of the GOP from whining about the smaller tax hikes that have been imposed, notably on cigarettes.
The caveman of the GOP in these parts can only mean Tom Brinkman. I don't expect he will get the Post's endorsement for the 34th Ohio State General Assembly Seat.
Jean Siebenaler has earned another vote.
