Do You Even Expect It Everyday Anymore?
Who’s Holding? Records, You Drug Addicts
The Plain Dealer gets all pissy about the fact that Frank Jackson is having a real problem with releasing requested public docs about city business. In response the mayor’s office claims they need to review the files first so they “know what is in them” and can then answer questions. So far the mayor’s office has only released info for 6 months in 2006, a stat that sucks compared to easy Plain Dealer target and former mayor White who always released the same documents within 30 days of receiving them. And on top of all of that… shit’s not legal! Wow,
TERRORISM! IN COLUMBUS!
Everyone get ready for the scare tactics! Law enforcement arrested Christopher Paul for having a bunch of stuff. The Plain Dealer gives Paul’s entire back-story and while I’m sure they do so to make us feel better about getting such a dangerous man locked up, really all they do is expose how shoddy a job law enforcement is doing. Since 1983 this guy has been changing his name, getting new passports, traveling around the world, training with al-Qaida, living with al-Qaida, researching bombs and flight simulators, ordering machines used for making fake documents, and, did I mention that he lived with another Columbus resident who was arrested for his plots to blow up the Brooklyn Bridge? Yeah, but it took until 2007 for someone to think something was up. Good going guys.
It’s a Sign, Get Over It
The Free Times is ready to talk smack on local government, and well, they deserve it. Seems that the neon graffiti-style sign that simply reads “Coffee” on the outside of the Civilization coffee house in Tremont is not going to fly. Shit is not considered “art” and even after hiring a lawyer and working to get permits, the owner finally gave in to the man and removed the sign.
No More Fulwood, a Lot Less Material
Oh, Sammy, what happened? Sam Fulwood has lost his column at The Plain Dealer and guess who’s got the scoop? That’s right, the only people who trash talk the little guy even more then we do, Scene. In their C-Notes blog (aka Shit Central) they deliver the news with a few jokes that are actually funny. I’m not lying, I swear! Maybe it was a group effort, or maybe they hired a freelancer for it, who knows. Either way.
