Local Dare Devil Dies

WLW Midday
Mike McConnell 9 AM to Noon host on 700WLW-AM was upset on this morning’s show with the "media's" lack of coverage of the Alicia Reese issue (Vice Mayor of Cincinnati being investigated), while going nuts about the Erpenbeck Co., a local home builder being investigated for fraud and other crimes. This is a very disingenuous comparison. It seems to be a typical instigation tactic to get the callers jumping up and down mad. The two stories differ for many reasons. The Reese story is old and had no interest, while Erpenbeck's alleged fraud hits home for more news consumers. Mike's claim was that Reese was not being covered because she is black and a female and the media does not like to shed bad light on those groups if "possible". Mike is crying wolf. His complaints have no merit. He is grandstanding for effect, which is driving him closer into the style of the laughing stalk of the radio, Willie Cunningham.

Congressional Boobs from the Grand Old Puritans
Local Representatives Chabot and Boehner have gotten on the theocratic bandwagon. The Washington Post reports on a letter they sent to the State of Ohio Board of Education in hopes of encouraging them to include "intelligent design" in the science curriculum along side evolution. This is yet another reason why I don't vote for Republican's. The only thing keeping me from tearing off my ears is that I don't live in either Congressman's district. Thus far, my Representative has not said anything publicly on the subject. I hope he does not, but he is another GOPher. They tend to conform like little storm troopers. Help me, Obi-wan Kenobi. You're my only hope.
