Which is not a good thing when life is imitating “Super Troopers�?. Headline reads, “Officers Ignored Calls, Played Video Game, Chief Says.�? I’ll give you one guess what department these fine officers work for, yeah, I said work…because they haven’t been fired yet.
So here’s the deal, two officers were assigned to foot duty after not [...]

Arlington Heights is a community of approximately a quarter square mile and the cops do nothing but sit in the [...]

All of my rage has finally caught up to me and the other day I was caught breaking the law. It’s true, I’m a lean, mean, law-breaking machine. I scoffed in the face of the law, and it scoffed back, with a $104 fine and a “Have a nice day, ma’am,”. Yeah Chips, you [...]

Two women have been making a living by breaking into pop machines around the Tri-State, from Middletown, OH to Ft. Mitchell, KY. They are breaking into the machines and stealing the dollar bills. I don’t know what all goes in to breaking into a soda machine (because I’m not a criminal), but it really seems [...]

The Cincinnati Public School system is in danger of a $79 million deficit by 2009. The district claims that they cannot cut anymore without affecting the quality of education in Cincinnati. Some are calling for a levy to be placed on the November ballot. Now, I’m going to ignore the “affecting the quality [...]

So, remember when I said this town was ridiculous for the onion delay? Today, we have ourselves a new, equally bizarre, produce delay. A watermelon truck overturned on an entrance ramp from I-75 to I-74 and that’s just dumb. It’s a sharp turn, you can see that its a sharp turn, there’s no reason to [...]

So I was reading the local news websites, looking for blog fodder and boy did I come across a gem! A car crashed into a house near the intersection of Montana & Anaconda, and I thought, “Hmm, I used to live near that intersection.” So I did a little more digging on other news websites

What’s better than your city being kicked out of VH1’s “Save the Music” program? When your city starts boasting it’s program that gears high school students toward college. Wow, what a great idea, encouraging kids to actually DO SOMETHING after high school. Who knew that’s what you should do? Oh that’s right, thousands of other [...]

People cannot drive, under any circumstances in this town. We have rain delays, snow delays, sunshine delays and then today ONION DELAYS. Are you kidding? Yes, an onion truck overturned and then onions ended up all over the highway. My favorite part, these onions were on the NORTHbound highway, I was going SOUTHbound. So, rubberneckers [...]
