Pollock or Not Pollock?
A Case professor’s opinion that recently discovered Jackson Pollock paintings are authentic is being called into question by the likes of Harvard and more local sources. Looks like some of the paints used are post-Pollock, or at least that is what one side says. Artsy, fartsy.

Tomorrow-

Riding a Pig Home From the Bar
Middlefield, Ohio has a way for drunken patrons to get home instead of driving. I know what you are thinking, small town, pig already mentioned, must be animals, right? Wrong! It’s the cops!!! Turns out those guys don’t have much to do in Middlefield so if you get tanked [...]

Finally!!! A new review!
Find out what Brandon Miller thinks of  the new Nurse and Soldier record that came out on Tuesday, right here.

Adding the Ohio Twist to a Typical Story
You’ve all seen debates on the legalization of medical marijuana by now, whether it was in a college paper, an issue of High Times, a medical journal, a PBS special, or even an episode of Penn and Teller’s Bullshit, but The Free Times goes at it yet again. This time the stories involve [...]

Moving On Up
So instead of bringing typically somber news or a new “worst/lowest/least” title, we’ve got a bit of sunshine to spread today. It seems the Ohio job market has grown a slight bit, with 3,700 more jobs than last December. Strickland and company are also working on a “score card” to figure out just [...]

Lack of Info Doesn’t Make Me Comfortable
“Officials” are saying that a “nasty taste” and “odor” in some of Cleveland’s water supply will clear up in 48 hours. They blame this problem on “malfunctioning equipment.” Yeah, this leaves me just a little creeped out, I mean what kind of equipment malfunctioned? Is there a flavor machine that [...]

30 Months For Bob “Drunky” Ney
Ohio Congressman Bob Ney was sentenced to 30 months (the max sentence) this morning for his corruption charges. Some people are appalled by this, asking leniency because Ney was suffering from alcohol abuse problems at the time, and was generally a great dude. Others sent letters saying the punishment may not be [...]

Going Suave With the Sewers
Northeast Ohio is going to experience a large surge in sewer costs. As the Plain Dealer reports it:
“For Cleveland residents, that adds up to a 59 percent increase over the next five years – from $28.10 a month to $44.75 a month. The average suburban bill will increase 47 percent – [...]

Soon we will have a section for photos and we are planning on trying to take pictures all over the place this year.

Strike Two For the Cleveland Clinic
The Plain Dealer hasn’t exactly been dishing out the compliments for our world famous hospital as of late. First, we saw the story about the dog used (and killed) to test a new medical device even though it had never been approved. Now we have the opening of a negligence trial for [...]
