In the past two years Quicken Arena and Dan Gilbert have evaded $7.5 million in property taxes. I think if Gilbert has any real concern for Cleveland he’d pay those taxes, most of which comes from Cleveland school children.

Glenn Greenwald @ Salon - Criminalizing cancer and AIDS patients for using a substance that is (a) prescribed by their doctors and (b) legal under the laws of their state has always been abominable. The Obama administration deserves major credit not only for ceasing this practice, but for memorializing it formally in writing.

Skull and crossbones

The Cleveland Plain-Plan Dealer has shown remarkable bias in the coverage and promotion of Issue 6 - the NEOCON-created, Cuyahoga County Prosecutor/Off Shore Wind Economy Expert/political insider's-insider Bill Mason-sponsored plan to eliminate Cuyahoga County government, as we know it, and replace it with some lawyerese slight-of-mind proposal for new leadership of our region... aka NEOCON 6.

Confessions of a bibliophile:  I read the Plain Dealer every Sunday for the book section and I am so grateful that the Plain Dealer understands the extreme regional importance of the BOOK.

 I believe that this is an old picture - I don't recognize the canvas nor the artists hand work but clearly it is meant to be a warning and when I was growing up in the hills as a kid, if you couldn't read, the one thing you learned to do early on and that was recognize a skull and cross bones - and avoid at all cost.

The Glass City Jungle blog in Toledo seems to be the only media outlet to have picked up on a TruthPAC poll with results showing, as Dave Betras, Chairman of the Mahoning County Democratic Party, says, “It looks like Issue 3 is going down.” Wonder if and when the Plain Plan Dealer will share this insight with its intentionally misinformed readers... hopefully, they read REALNEO as well...

The fellow holding the board is Vince Labbe.  He wears wet suit gloves in the October Lake Erie water but not a hat.  He said once he's in the water he doesn't think about it.  (probably because of hypothermia!)

Anyway, I met him this afternoon at Edgwater Park in Cleveland, Ohio.

Ignoring the broken window theory has its advantages.   The creeper can grow on a building that has been empty for a decade or more.  This 10.14.09 image is on Quincy Ave at Woodhill in Cleveland Ohio. 

Residents of Old Brooklyn are buying ads with a very simple message:

IF YOU ARE HAPPY WITH LIFE IN SLAVIC VILLAGE, " RE-ELECT"  BRANCATELLI.

IF YOU'RE NOT HAPPY VOTE FOR OLGA SARBINOWSKA.

I say if you want Old Brooklyn to become like Slavic Village, vote for Brancatelli. After all, he spent 20 years making it that way.

Pass the word. Avoid disaster.

PressTV - New disturbing charges have emerged against XE, the infamous private security firm formerly known as Blackwater Worldwide, whose operations came under spotlight after its 2007 carnage in Baghdad. According to a report by MSNBC and based on alleged sworn declarations by two Blackwater employees in federal court, the firm used child prostitutes at its compound in Baghdad's fortified Green Zone.

The leaders of the American Civil Liberties Union in Louisiana and the Center for Constitutional Rights and Justice in New York said Keith Bardwell, a white justice of the peace in Tangipahoa Parish in the southeastern part of the state, should quit immediately.
