Cops in this Area Just Love to Screw Up

At most jobs I think it would be pretty obvious if you just clocked in and then cut out for a while, but apparently it’s not that way for police officers. See, these goons thought it would be a good idea to clock in at the station and then go work as private security guards. One guy made $7,200 for 275 hours of work at a parking garage while he was supposed to be on duty. Another was an internal affairs officer, and then we wonder why there has been so much police scandal as of late. The Plain Dealer calls it “double dipping,” but that sounds too delicious to me, so I’ll call it double bacon, hold the work. I guess that also sounds delicious, but hey, at least I got to make a pig-related cop joke.

Literary Nerds Unite!

The Free Times gets somber this week with a story about “One of only a few remaining independent, used booksellers in the region,” and how it could possibly shut down by the end of the month. Bookstore on West 25th has been chugging along for 30 years, but dude (who is rocking a sweet beard) is having serious trouble keeping it open. Currently there is a 60% of sale just to help pay back rent. It’s feeling a might bookish in here.

One of Only 12 in the Country! Way to go, Cleveland!

According to Newsnet 5 MetroHealth opened a new clinic yesterday that will cater to the gay community in Cleveland. It is the first in the state (there’s a shocker!!) and only the 12th in the country. The Pride Clinic will serve everyone, except on Wednesday’s between 4:30 and 8 when it will be open only to the gay community. Now, not too sure why they want to give this information out right away, cause that kind of just looks like a new time and place to hold a meeting of some crazy anti-gay Christian group, but hey, Newsnet 5 would of thought of that, right? They better not have ruined this.
