This is exactly the kind of news story I expect to come out of Cincinnati. A College Hill man beat up a woman with terminal cancer over $10. That would be $10 for beer to be exact. Heaven forbid a person be able to walk down the street AND have cancer. The nerve of some [...]

You have got to be kidding me. The Hood Salute? 4 men have been arrested for firing guns into the air at the funeral of a local kid. Did I mention that this kid was shot to death? Inappropriate perhaps? The family is very upset, and rightfully so. Who wants to [...]

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 [...]

Sun delays, onion delays, watermelon delays and today, hot dog delays. I’m not joking, a hot dog delay. So there I am this morning, tooling down the highway, on my way to school and I come around a bend in the highway and all I see is breaklights and cars swerving every which way and [...]

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
