That Was the Week that Was – In Blogs
On my God! Cincinnati has black people living here?
The Cincinnati Beacon picked up on some blurbs over at The Cincinnati Nation web site about how CiN Weekly is all lily white and about how the media coverage of last weekend's Oktoberfest showed no people of color in attendance. Wow. Please understand that the reason why I'm so shocked is I get all my news from the CiN rag and local television stations. Black people do live here after all? Despite being shocked, I think I can handle it.
Speaking of The Cincinnati Nation, they reported last week that Coco’s bar and restaurant over in Covington has closed its doors. This is just plain sad. I mean if this great place was located in Cincinnati, it would have closed years ago but in Covington? I don’t get it.
Wonkette last week provided us with a clip of a new television show called “In The Know.” If you enjoy Larry King, this is another hard hitting news show to watch. Powerful. Powerful.
Dan Bockrath over at the Porkopolis Blog reported how The Cincinnati Enquirer devoted its Sunday form section to the serious topic of obesity – followed up later in the week with a recipe on pan macaroni and cheese. Question: Does The Enquirer want us all to die from obesity? Judy Darling will be reporting on this next week if we can get her off her fat ass.
New York based Gawker reported last week how newspapers are stuffing their web sites with blogs. The New York Times leads the way with 40 active blogs. How come CityBeat only has six? This needs to change immediately. Early this week, I’ll be having a meeting with John Fox to discuss additional blogs I’ll be in charge of. In addition to the LOL Blog, I’ll be doing a daily blog on Cincinnati restaurant closings, one on how black people really do live here and yet another daily blog posting recipes on how to make macaroni and cheese.

When you fly over this continent from west to east, you go from brown to green.
When you go to a swimming pool at noon, patrons will be white. Go again near sunset, and they will be brown.
Drive from suburb to urb and watch skin tone darken.
Is any of this a "problem" looking for an outrageously expensive government "solution"?
