Vote for the Music CEAs

City Beat's CEAs are fast approaching, so voice your opinion on the best music in town. Something to notice, there are a ton of new GREAT Bands out there. Hell, the Heartless Bastards weren't even nominated, but there are still a ton more great musical acts. This really is a great music town. It is too bad not enough people experience it.

On November 23, they can! Be sure to hit the CEA show at the premier reopening of the Emery Theater. Tickets are on sale now!

Bootsy Ruby's News

Julie from wine me dine me (and Cincy Blog too!) has some inside news on the new Jeff Ruby/Bootsy Collins restaurant opening up in December on Walnut St.

Just Got Robo Polled By NBC 4 Columbus

I just got a robo-poll call from NBC 4 out of Columbus on the election. They asked about President, and the statewide races and issues. They also asked several demographic questions. Nothing out of the ordinary asked.

I'll see if I can figure out how many people are like me in Ohio! Well, at least how many have a land line and are home on Sunday afternoon.

Bush Trying to Suppress the Ohio Vote

What I find most troubling about instances of voter suppression is how people like George Bush believe that voter fraud is some wide spread problem. Well, it isn't. In 2004 claims went out that it was wide spread. Well, there was no proof of that and in fact the groups accused of it were exonerated.

This is a red herring for a GOP that is facing its worst defeat in over 30 years.

An Interesting Factoid With Ten Days To Go In This Long Campaign

For 80 years, all successful Republican presidential tickets have had either a Nixon or a Bush on the ticket. That would be since the election of Hoover / Curtis in 1928. Looks like McCain / Palin will not break this string, barring a miracle like some white female campaign worker being mugged by a 6'4" black guy who carves a "B" for Barack in her face, while chanting "Obama is a muslim, born in Kenya, and Bill Ayers is god" --- oh wait, they tried that yesterday but it was a fake --- reminder that if you are going to look in the mirror and carve a "B" for Barack in your face, take into account that the mirror will cause you to carve it backwards, unless you adjust for that. It should look like a B, not a
--- ooops, did it again.

Well, there is Jeb waiting in the wings --- Palin / Bush 2012.

How many people actually agree with Rush Limbaugh and Michael Savage that Obama is really not in Hawaii visiting his dying grandmother, but is really there to destroy evidence that he was born in Kenya and not the US? (Wasn't John McCain born in Panama?) I am just trying to find out how large the tinfoil hat brigade really is.

Out Of Touch Enquirer

I really feel sorry for the Enquirer Editorial Board for this drivel. Did someone just go to the McCain website, take down the last two week's worth of talking points and re-write it? This just sounds like a McCain stump speech, right down to the "Joe the Plumber" bullshit.

The funniest thing is the equivalency game they play. To think that the sleaze that has poured out of the McCain campaign, directly out of the campaign, compares with a handful of extremists on the left is just nonsense. I would like to know how the Enquirer thinks Sarah Palin lying about Obama and the "palling around with terrorists" line compares with anything Obama or Biden have said about McCain or Palin. There is nothing that even approaches that level of sleaze/lies/distortion.
