Kucinich, The Simpsons, And Crime, Sounds Like Some Bullshit College Paper
Think Before You Speak, or Vote in Congress.
Good ol’ Dennis has struck again, this time being one of only two congressman (the other a Texas Republican (if you’re not thinking oil, cowboy hats, and white suits you should be)) to vote against condemning Iran’s leader and asking the UN to look into violations of genocide conventions. Seems Mahmoud Ahmadinejad stated that he wants Israel to, “burn in the fire of the Islamic nations’ fury,” and Dennis didn’t see the problem. This could just be another Kucinich blunder, but it looks like this isn’t the first time he has upset the Jewish community in Cleveland. He only visited Lebanon when he went to the Middle East and he kept campaign contributions from a terrorist until the man was finally convicted. Things get even more interesting when The Plain Dealer throws us this juicy bit. “He has support from many Arab-Americans in his district, which does not have a big Jewish community.” Come on, Dennis, playing favorites? Shame on you. And
I Almost Forgot The Plain Dealer Sucked
Luckily we get an article comparing Cleveland to the Simpsons’ Springfield. There are such dead-on comparisons as…
We both have TV news anchormen! We both have convenience stores! And we both have power plants! Talk about some serious research and in depth reporting. How do you nominate someone for a Pulitzer?
If you are bored however, or a rabid Simpsons fan, then read this article and find out how you can nominate Clevelanders who are most like Homer, Marge, Bart, and Lisa.
Want to Commit a Crime? Just Save up $1,000 First
Before I give you the details of yet another wonderfully written Scene article, let me warn you, the humor contained in said article is on par with Family Circus. With that said, lets take a look at our wonderful criminal justice system. Cuyahoga County has been offering the 10 percent bond since the 1970s. What does this mean? Well if you are arrested and bail is set at $10,000 all you have to pay is $1,000 to be released. Guess what? A lot of people like to pay this and then not come back for their trial. One man out of Cincinnati has 30 warrants for his arrest, because he simply keeps paying the 10 percent. The result is a mass of criminals just keeping it real on the mean streets of C-Town. The Cuyahoga County Sheriff’s Department does regularly bust them, but there is really no end in sight. I would use the shocking statistic of 13,260, but Scene manages to leave out what the start date is for this amount of arrests only letting us know that that number comes as of May 31. So if you are planning a robbery or assault in the near future.
