Editor on Vacation

It appears that the editor who is pushing the Lindbergh Jesus story is on vacation. Letting this gem get through is an indicator that someone is getting really bored covering this story and needs to vent some disdain on the fools concerned about it:

Asked if officers would stand among the scene's life-size figures and go undercover dressed as wise men or shepherds, Neal replied:

'Where Baby Jesus is concerned, I won't rule out anything.'

This makes the people of Cheviot look nutty, and it mocks the cops there big time. It is funny as Hell. Those making a big deal about this are really nutty. How much public money is being wasted on this while other criminals go stealing someone else's Christmas presents? Priorities need refining on the Westside this year.

Women Blogging and Leading

Listening to the radio gets you several things. It pointed me to a new blog headed by CinExer Jen Spillane called Not Your Woman. The radio also introduced Vanessa Enoch, the new YP member of the Cincinnati USA Regional Chamber Board.

Get Thee To The Store

Shop suckers, SHOP!

If you are not going to shop, then OPEN THREAD!

How Long Will It Take?

Has anyone already compared the Mosque bombing to the stolen Jesus doll? Calls will be made to charge the teenagers involved with a hate crime, that is going to happen. Bets on how long it will take?

Suspect Dies In Custody

I hope and at this point evidence indicates we don't have another Nathaniel Jones case on our hands. We have something else. What that is, we'll just have to wait and see.

Local Terrorism

A pipe bomb reportedly went off outside a Clifton Mosque last night. No one was hurt, thankfully, and damage appears to be light.

This is terrorism. The criminals who did this should be caught, tried, and put in jail. They should not be considered enemies of the Crown and sent to Cuba.

Who did this?

UPDATE: A fairly unified condemnation. I am sure there were Protestant clergy represented, but I wish they had been quoted as well. I hope very conservative evangelical sects were represented.

A New FOP?

Roberts and Fangman are out as officers of the Cincinnati FOP, but did they take their right wing politics and slow-down tactics with them? I hope Kathy Harrell can bring something new to community-police relations, something other than the arrogance and hate brought by the likes of Fangman and Roberts.
