Chick-Fil-A: What do chicken sandwiches have to do with gay people?
Tuesday, August 31, 2010

Back2Stonewall has posted this item, which showcases how Chick-Fil-A has decided to sponsor an event for the anti-gay CCV. I am disappointed. I mean, I always knew Chick-Fil-A was a “Christian” business—but I didn’t know they did anything particularly crazy with their “Christianity.” So I was willing to overlook that given how delicious I find their food to be. But I will not overlook this. Certainly businesses have the right to support whatever political cause they desire—just as I have the right to support a boycott of Chick-Fil-A due to their disgusting behavior.

Guest column by Robert Park
If I were a socialist,…
1. You would now own investment banks like Goldman Sachs and Citi Group, the banks that enabled and encouraged the reckless endangerment of our economy leading to the meltdown of 2008. These institutions would now be under public ownership, no longer the private financial vehicles of the super-rich, because I would have nationalized them.

Cincinnati Tea Party on Hannity and McVeigh
Tuesday, August 31, 2010
Okay, so this isn’t particularly timely, or anything—but the other day I was reminded of that footage where people cheer while Sean Hannity calls Tea Party members “Tim McVeigh wannabes.” So how would the local Tea Party leadership weigh in?

Metropole Lawsuit: Not So Fast, 3CDC
Thursday, August 26, 2010
Donald Caster has a great article on the Metropole Tenants Associations lawsuit in federal court seeking to halt the efforts of 3CDC and others to turn the Metropole into a luxury hotel. The tenants are now represented by preeminent Cincinnati civil rights attorney and they’ve filed a lawsuit that is compelling. It’s an interesting explanation of the allegations in the lawsuit that could be a major impediment to 3CDC’s plans.

Today marks the 47th Anniversary of King’s “I have a dream” speech
Saturday, August 28, 2010
His speech was about America’s broken promise, a promise that has yet to be fulfilled. Sadly the American government assassinated Dr. King after he moved from focusing on racial equality to economic equality. He began speaking out against the Vietnam war and for a poor people’s campaign for economic justice.
