Good coverage, bad coverage: 3CDC and teen suicide in The Enquirer
Saturday, September 04, 2010

I have mixed feelings about The Enquirer today. In an item entitled “Over-the-Rhine protest decries prosecutor’s decision on death in Washington Park,” the paper really gives some ink to perspectives contrary to 3CDC. This is a relatively new thing for the paper to do, as previously they only advanced pro-3CDC propaganda without even disclosing their publisher sits on that organization’s board. (For more on that, read this.) But I also see they have published this item, showcasing how a teenager committed suicide with his vehicle. Media coverage of suicide is a real issue, and I disagree with how the Enquirer handles it.

Pascal’s wager is a famous concept attempting to extort disbelievers into worshiping God for fear of eternal damnation, based on playing the odds as if at a Heavenly Casino, or something. But ever since reading the candidate survey from the Tea Party in Erie County, Ohio, I’ve been struck by another kind of wager that all Christians on the right-winged lunatic fringe need to consider—one involving the long-term viability of our planet, and the suffering of future generations.

Pork chops, racist asshole, Gypsies
Sunday, September 05, 2010
Maybe you’ve heard by now that France is “systematically evacuating” Gypsies. Reading the story this morning reminded me of my only experience with a self-identified Gypsy—which took place about eight years ago (maybe more) at Nick’s Chops and Chasers in Oakley.

Molak: Electric buses and wind charging parking lots
Monday, September 06, 2010
Guest column by Dr. Vlasta Molak, resident of Springfield Township
The entire Hamilton County was filled with hope in 1996, when similar promises were made by the vested interests who wanted to raise taxes to build two unnecessary stadiums. Now, 14 years later and $1,400 MILLIONS already sunk into the banks of Ohio, in addition to serious budget deficits in the City and the County budgets, all those hopes had evaporated like smoke and mirrors, which they were.
