When Did a Middle Aged Woman’s Blog Become a Plain Dealer Column?

So maybe Regina Brett does have one of the most, ahem, normal looking columnist pics at The Plain Dealer, but that doesn’t mean that her writing is any classier. Her most recent column claims to show the links between baseball and religion. Sounds interesting enough, almost ambitious in fact. Instead all it is is Regina listing joyful and sorrowful (yes, like the mysteries of the rosary) moments in Tribe history. She doesn’t even hit on “glorious” ones, saying those have yet to come. Well I’m glad to see Regina knows how to use google, a baseball almanac, and an Indians history book, or some combination of the three, but honestly I think I could do with a few less cutesy observations. And why would she say “religion” and not just “catholicism” which is the only thing she references here. Save it for your church mag, or some long forgotten corner of the internet, I want some insight in my news.

I Really Hope You Like Reading About Cabs

So first the airport announced their higher cab fares and new exclusive contract with only three cab companies. Want more info on this, look below. Then other cab companies flipped their shit and sued the city for breach of contract and discrimination. You guessed it, more in a post below. Well now look at this boys and girls; there have been some changes! The new cab fares will now not be as large as first mentioned. A trip from the airport to downtown will now cost $33 (it used to cost $28) instead of the reported $44 from last week. So it is a little bit of a hike, but on rides under five miles passengers will actually see a decrease in price now. And if you still feel like you are supporting some sort of monopoly you have the choice to phone one of the four cab companies not in the new contract. So what have we learned? Well if people raise a large enough stink it seems the air needs to be cleaned. Or something like that. All I know is that Cleveland has a lot more cabs than I thought, and that MyFriendCleveland just changed the world!

Michael Vick Will Never Live in Garfield Heights

Just take a guess why? Come on, you can do it… Yes! That’s it! Garfield Heights has banned pit bulls! Owners have 60 days to voice their opinions, but the new law states that if a pit bull is complained about police give the owners a chance to find a new home before confiscating the dog which will either go to a shelter, or head towards the light, because if cartoons have taught us anything, all dogs do go to heaven. Wow, did I really just type that? Let me just leave you with something to think about though, has anyone ever seen a pit bull in Garfield Heights?
