In Hawaiian, “aloha” means “go @#$% yourself Ohio’s 10th District.”
From yesterday’s Openers:
Touting his presidential campagn in Hawaii over the weekend, Cleveland Democratic Rep. Dennis Kucinich called himself the “Aloha candidate” during a Hawaiian television interview in which he wore a white lei over his dark suit.
As the people of Cleveland’s west side wonder what the [...]
I used to like Alan Keyes. Even though I disagreed with some of his stances, I thought that among conservative voices out there he stayed true to his prinicipals and that was worthy of merit.
But enough is enough. Apparently he’s running for president – again. The guy has become a sensationalistic carpetbagger of the first [...]
…when you can roll-over and play dead every time somebody disagrees with you.
Apparently that’s the new mantra over at the local fishwrap. Well, calling it new might be a bit of a stretch – let’s just call it continuing. It doesn’t seem to matter who the Publisher or Editor are, because when the wind blows [...]
- well at least his photography.
Many of you may know John from his posts on this page so I thought you might be interested in an email from John that came this morning:
I’ve been slowly but surely trying to become a photographer over the past year or so. Amazingly enough, in the past few weeks some [...]
…to the looming giant budgetary crisis behind the curtain.
Excellent piece yesterday from Roger Bundy at Cleveland Equnimous Philosopher about the Medical Mart, er… CONvention Center, er… General Fund Sales Tax Increase.
Here’s one of the worthy money quotes:
As is clear from the following excerpts of the Midyear Financial Report, the county is already hinting that it will need the [...]
If you’re under the age of 40 and have yet to become jaded by the ineffectiveness of the listless leadership of the Cuyahoga County Republican Party, take note – you’re presence is requested (and will be greatly appreciated) at the next meeting of the CuyCo Young Republicans:
The Greater Cleveland Young Republicans will be holding the [...]
Vote no on extending the Cuyahoga County Port Authority’s funding…
According to the CuyCo Board of Elections, the following issue ballot language will be associated with the port’s tax renewal levy:
CLEVELAND-CUYAHOGA COUNTY PORT AUTHORITY (1436 Precincts)
PROPOSED TAX LEVY (RENEWAL)
A renewal of an existing levy to constitute a tax for the benefit of the Cleveland-Cuyahoga County
Port Authority [...]
Especially when you’re the mayor of the city in which it occurs.
Apparently to Inaction Frank Jackson – mayor of the 4th (yeah we’re number 4!) poorest city in America (which makes you rich in 90% of the rest of the world), when someone dies at the hands of another it’s seldom personal – except for yesterday. [...]
Associates all over the local blogosphere and MSM are hailing the news that Cleveland has fallen to number four on the list of America’s poorest cities – which is great until you consider that it’s likely that Cleveland’s population has now dropped below 400,000 and there’s no looking back as we race to 300,000 or [...]
I’m a firm believer in the idea that we live in a representative democracy – we (the people) elect folks that we (the people) believe are best-suited (or at least the best of those on the ballot) for their jobs. A basic tenet of our system of government is that along with our proxy comes the burden [...]
