Rich people HATE to pay taxes. They pinch pennies. The squeeze real hard.

Recently--it was determined that Zack Reed could not use the terminology "RE-ELECT" in his campaign literature.

Here is the language on a similar advisory issued in 1999 over Avon Lake campaign literature:

After reading the story in today's Cleveland.com, "Owner of razed Cleveland warehouse still fighting city, Precision Environmental over lost vehicles", about a second Frank Giglio in Cleveland - this one on the East Side - named Michael Ayers, who had his property condemned, stolen and destroyed under the direction of the Cleveland Building and Housing Department...

Max Eternity - While the Bush response to the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina is most often cited as "inept", such a description inevitably sanctions Bush as patently stupid, though nonetheless innocent. 

This is what passes as news at Ch. 8, Fox’s WJW-TV these days.

I didn’t really know until today that the Pee Dee endorsed torture.

I’ve been stirring memories as I look through memorabilia as I near 50 years of news reporting. I came across two long interviews with Dr. Benjamin Spock from 1967.

I am very excited that Cleveland Public Library is participating in the National Endowment for the Humanities Picturing America program.  I have always felt more comfortable explaining concepts visually and, lo and behold, today--a wonderful man contacted me today with a visual explanation of Web 3.0.  Enjoy.  Transform.

Anne Trubek for Good Magazine - Civic leaders and artists are coming up with some interesting ideas, and often the line between the two groups is blurred. The perfectly-named Unreal Estate Agency in Detroit is aimed at showcasing “new types of urban practices (architecturally, artistically, institutionally, everyday life, etc) that came into existence, creating a new value system in Detroit,” including helping people purchase and rehab a home for under $5,000.

The area around Lincoln High School, in Cleveland, Ohio, near Meyer Avenue  did not have as much trash thrown about today, August 21, 2009 as it did on Sunday, and I was happy to see the improvement.  Someone must have been out there cleaning the area.  I was able to recruit my husband and my son to help me pick up trash in the area.  We removed about a garbage bag and a half of trash from the area.  The parking lot of Lincoln West had a lot of broken glass on the pavement, and weeds were growing around the lot.  Not a pretty site for a public school prope

Drove by William Rainey Harper School on Cleveland's near west side. 

Looks like planned abandonment is the agenda for this school, too.  Along with the Cleveland School of the Arts, John Marshall and other local landmarks. 

Here’s how honest Jeff Jacobs is.

The Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority is planning to drop “Transit” from its name. You can tell that because it keeps eliminating transportation for people. In fact, it can change its name to the Greater Cleveland Downtown Pleasing Authority.

As I sat on my front porch, around 10 PM this evening, a group of about a dozen teenage boys could be seen and heard approaching from Euclid, shouting "where you from" for all to hear. One of the little g's from across the street (who recently broke into another neighbors' house) was walking toward them, but turned and ran back to his porch... until he recognized them, and he joined them.

"Where you from?", they asked. "I'm from Wadena", they replied.

How pathetic can you get, Pee Dee?

Read the comment by East Cleveland Mayor Eric Brewer on the Plain Dealer. He's responding to an article on county reform by the Pee Dee.

It's amusing and informative.  See here: http://www.cleveland.com/opinion/index.ssf/2009/08/entrenched_interests_are_fight.html
