Submitted by Roldo on Wed, 06/24/2009 - 12:54.

The Plain Dealer got the headline and photo it wanted today with County Commissioner Jimmy Dimora’s “temporary” abdication of his chairmanship of the County Democrats. It will be a long “temporary.”

WOULD YOU HELP FUND A SNAKE PIT FOR JEFF JACOBS

Submitted by Roldo on Tue, 06/23/2009 - 15:08.

I’m against any public money going into an aquarium for Jeff Jacobs who now must be a big-time multi-millionaire. Let him buy his own.

Why do I ride RTA?

Submitted by lmcshane on Tue, 06/16/2009 - 08:42.

Dear Mr. Calabrese,
I would hope that your agency would attempt to prevent the future bedlam, negative impressions of public transportation and economic loss to the community in terms of late employees etc. associated with the poor public planning evidenced here.

Really--we can and should do better.

Sincerely,
Laura McShane

Edward Bernays - how we became consumers - not citizens

Submitted by Susan Miller on Sun, 05/17/2009 - 07:59.

With so much trendwise, associated content, spying, spamming, paranoia, writing of the sort that is so hastily posted as to be unintelligible (punctuation and sentence structure is there for a reason), and because Max posted Annie Leonard's Story of Stuff video again to RealNEO, I thought I would share this series of documentaries from BBCTwo:

Cafe Realneo - a parable

Submitted by Jeff Buster on Wed, 05/13/2009 - 16:14.

We all want our coffee served just the way we want it, don’t we?
