Mayoral Race

No, not in Cincinnati, there is one in Dayton too. The issues don't sound all that different than we have down here. The difference is the economics. Dayton has been hurting for a while and can't bounce back like a city the size of Cincinnati can. They have more than one female on the primary ballot, which is a positive. The current Mayor, Rhine McLin, is being challenged by Barbara Temple and David Bohardt.

Is This How You Sell Politics to the Masses?

The Enquirer is giving a lot of ink to Justin Jeffre's supposed run for Mayor. This is a farce. If the press does not grill this guy and ask if he is only running in order to try and land a TV show deal, then they are hacks.

Jerry, Jerry, Jerry

Maggie Downs inteviewed Jerry Springer for her latest column. Yes, a liberal being profiled by a columnist in the Enquirer. Glad someone let her do this. I mean Bronson bashes the guy, and Maggie gets to provide a more balanced view. That is not a perfect what to do things, but it beats just Bronson's blather.

A friend of mine saw Jerry at a book store recently. It is funny how Jerry is out and about town. The guy would be a good candidate for office, if he was not the king of sleaze TV. Will he be able to remove that image with enough voters?

Know Theatre: Iris

Go see Iris. I am planning on going tonight, and this weekend is pay what you can.

Huh?

Earth to the AP, 98 Degrees was not a rock band. Is the reporter age 72? I mean, would they call Run DMC a rock band? Hell 98 Degrees is not even a band, they are a group. At best they can be referred to as boy band, but still the term band is as valid as calling Bush a thinking President.

Hooray For Me!

Seriously, thanks to everyone who voted me Best Blog, I appreciate it.

Thanks to City Beat for having the new category.

Blame the Judges

Since I am now the anti-Bronson shall I just say blah blah blah and move on? I think Peter needs to stay a bit more current. Let it go. This column does give fodder to those who would like to attack the judges in the this case, literally.

It is insane how anti-civil law the right wing has become. If it is not "god's" will, than it is just damned. This case is only a poster-child for tabloid media and shameless grandstanding politicians. The Judges, ALL OF THEM INCLUDING SCOTUS, were the consistent and judicial group, who dispensed fair and valid justice.
