Theocracy on the March!
It is so "nice" to see more small town theocrats chosing what religion everyone else must follow. What is most interesting is that a single councilman allegedly paid for and put the one ton 10 commandments slab on in the Town Hall. He allegedly did not have permission from council. It is nice one man taking this kind of action without even voting on it. That is how theocracy is supposed to work! Glad to see this man does not disappoint.

The Battle for Districts Begin
I am perplexed by how voting regions are drawn for district representation in the City of Cincinnati. 12 difference maps have been drawn for a breakdown of 6, 9 or 15 different districts. I am troubled why race is such a factor here. Why is it so important to have a "fair" number of majority black districts? Why do we have to have "X" number of black or white members of council? Any rational for requiring a quota of seats is either bigoted or racist or just too static in my opinion. Race only matters to those it matters too.

BBC Quiz on U.S. Presidency is Wrong
In a quiz on the U.S. Presidency the BBC asked:
Which of these packages is NOT among the perks of being president of the United States?The answer A and B are correct. The BBC does not know that the President's salary went up to $400,000 a year in 2001.
A: A masseur and a pet of choice
B: A salary of $200,000 per year and pension
C: A chef and an aeroplane
The answer was A
The president is entitled to a $200,000 annual salary and a pension on retirement of $63,000 per year (taxable). The president has a place in the country - Camp David, a personal plane - Air Force One, and a chef. Masseurs are not included in the package, nor are pets, although they are welcomed at the White House.
