Racism! Scandal! Insults! Danzig! Oh My!

Sammy Gets all Racial

I bet you thought we forgot about Sam Fulwood didn’t you? Well we didn’t, and everyone’s favorite go-nowhere columnist takes a look at the recent city council outburst that white council members are not supporting their black colleagues. Sam seems to think the cause of the problem is not that there is no support in the council, but that the pressure from black constituents is on a serious increase thanks to police shootings, drugs, no jobs, etc. But what makes this column lean into the realm of the bizarre is Sammy’s final statement. He says that council members “must get serious about saving the city. Or Cleveland may lose its cool and reveal its ugly side.” Is that a threat, Sam? I didn’t know you had it in you big guy! Does that mean that behind the big smile and Thinker-like hand on chin there lurks a man who thinks violence brings change? Stay tuned, folks, Fulwood may yet turn out to be interesting.

Only a Few Years in Prison if You Call Right Now!

Leave it Cleveland’s personal gossip rag Scene to dish out another dirty ditty written more like a sassy story than a journalistic piece. This time around Scene looks into infomercial King Paul Monea (Billy Blanks is amongst his wondrous credits) and how he ropes in lawyers, chews them up, and spits them right into cozy little jail cells. And just what does any of this have to do with Cleveland you ask? Well Monea’s latest lawyer (this one needed for a $19 million diamond transaction) is comin straight outta Akron. I thought lawyers were smart.

EVERYONE Wants you to Leave Cleveland

At least once a month you are probably reminded (by MyFriendCleveland mostly) that people are continuously getting the hell out of Cleveland. Most recently we learned that the amount of people leaving here is nearly as bad as the amount of people who left hurricane-ravaged land, which is pretty sad. So, leave it to Halle Berry to tell a room full of Clevelanders that if they want to have a film career they need to leave The Mistake by the Lake. Berry then went on to say that if Cleveland wanted to make films here they needed a film studio. Well it looks like Halle knows as much about Cleveland film-making as she does about Cleveland night-life with The Free Times ending their article with a list of Cleveland based film-makers, even if they do warn that they are mostly “gore/horror/whore-oriented.” Hell, aren’t most things Cleveland that way?

And You Thought Henry Rollins was Wacky!

That’s right Hank ain’t the only punk-icon to invade YouTube with hilarious content. Meet Book TV correspondent-hopeful, Glenn Danzig! And don’t worry, fans can breathe a little easier, it was shot in black and white and Glenn is not wearing a shirt. See Glenn’s discourse here. Oh, and in case you just can’t get enough Danzig (I know I can’t!), here is Glenn getting jacked. Toodles!
