You Break 500 and Suddenly You Can Up Ticket Prices

The Browns announced today that ticket prices for the 2008 season will increase. What’s impressive is that this is the first time prices have been raised since 2005, what’s not impressive is the organization citing labor costs and other league economics instead of cashing in on a pretty damn good season as reasons behind the hike. Still, tickets will now on average cost about $66, which is a hell of a lot cheaper than say New England’s average of $121. Those high prices are of course a result of every ticket holder receiving free headshots of Tom Brady at each game. I wonder if the price of beer went up.

I Thought Kucinich Had This Shit Locked Up!?

Let’s just say I’m tired of writing about Dennis Kucinich. With him in the news so often now, it’s getting harder to come up with jokes. So just go watch this video of him dropping out of the presidentail race. Vegan! Short! UFOs! Slave Songs! Go!

Police Love Leaving Crack Houses “Known” and Open

A Canton woman left her 6-week-old granddaughter in a car out in the cold while she entered a known crack house. Police were alerted to the situation by the child’s mother and arrested the grandmother for child endangering and resisting arrest. Now here’s a question. If this crack house is “known” why is still in operation? Couldn’t someone argue entrapment? Why would police leave a crack house open? Is arresting multiple drug users that much more important than shutting down the source of the drugs? The report also states that there were no drugs found at the scene. Did the cops try going in the house? I guess that would have been a hassle. Grandma’s a bigger threat anyway.

What’s Better, Burning or Green?

Twenty miles of the mighty Cuyahoga turned green Wednesday, and I am not making reference to some Today Show sponsored event for environmental awareness; shit was literally the color of grass. EPA tests claim that the green water is non-toxic and merely a result of tracing dye used for testing drains and sewers. There has also been no word yet as to whether the green water will turn your pet turtles into a teenaged ninjas that love pizza, but hey I guess that would be hard anyway unless you had a rat to train them. I really out did myself this time.
