Where The Hell Have You Guys Been?

Kucinich: Walking Fine Lines Since the Late ’70s

Little ‘Ol Dennis has struck again, and yet somehow he not only looks like a joke in a man costume, but one of few truthful voices. Seems that during a recent trip to the Middle East (trips that had Jewish constituents up in arms in the past) the little guy made an appearance on Syrian TV and mustered up his wiry spite for a shit-talking session on, you guessed it, the Bush administration and the Iraq war. Not only did Dennis condemn the war as illegal, but he also said reparations were due for all the innocent people killed. Upon returning to the U.S. Dennis defended his comments stating in his creepy fashion, “I am the truth-teller.” Laugh or nod in agreement, you decide.

Since When Does Swinging by Someone’s House, then Eating Lunch, Make News?

Oh, that’s right, when it involves the self-proclaimed savior of New York City, Rudy Giuliani! The presidential candidate (can we have a pre-primary or some shit to get rid of some of these clowns already?) is hitting up Akron today for a “private fundraiser” at David Brennan’s house and then lunch at Bricco. Maybe he is commemorarting the sixth anniversary of becoming even more pompous. I still think the most important contribution this man has made is that sample on the last Dillinger Four record, but hey, that’s just me. A message to you, Rudy.

Now Your Obligatory “Cleveland is on a Downslide” Article

New U.S. Census Bureau (do these guys EVER get tired of making Cleveland look bad?) statistics show that families in North East Ohio are bringing in a lot less scrilla these days. Between 2000 and 2006 thousands of higher-paying manufacturing jobs have dissappeared while the yearly income bracket of $10,000-$14,000 a year has dramatically increased. Luckily an expert at CSU cleared things up for us pedestrians by stating, “Household incomes are sliding down.” There, doesn’t everyone feel better now? Is this going in the new Cleveland brochures?
