A big part of Cincinnati could ride off into the sunset

Mounted patrol on Fountain Square
The people who were in the streets say three things saved Cincinnati during the riots of April, 2001:
Beanbag shotguns, dedicated cops and the mounted patrol.
How soon they forget.
The local media and some politicians almost immediately condemned the beanbags and tried to prosecute...
AP propaganda: Another raccoon in the globaloney garbage
// Dec 14th, 2009
This is from Dennis Miller in the Washington Times, via NRO:
You ever come across raccoons in the outdoor trash can at 11:30 or so at night? As soon as they’re exposed by the beam of the flashlight (by the way, how much CO2 does the beam of a flashlight put into the atmosphere?), they turn on you with fangs...
There’s only one thing that can save the endangered Tiger Woods
// Dec 13th, 2009
By next April, Tiger Woods could be staging his comeback. But which Tiger will it be?

Four street killings in four days — what a great time to cut police
// Dec 10th, 2009

Would you buy stock in Cincinnati?

Go Bearcats!
// Dec 5th, 2009
Maybe the most exciting game in college football this year.
Maybe a chance to play in the national championship.
Maybe the best halftime adjustments by the coaching staff.
Maybe one of the greatest comebacks against adversity by any team this year in a game with more pressure than a junkyard car crusher.
And...
The one-punch theory of Obama’s Vietnam-istan
// Dec 3rd, 2009
Obama, 18 months, vs. Afghanistan, 18 decades
Barack Obama must have been one of those kids in grade school who never tore his pants in a knock-down, roll-around, playground brawl. Otherwise he would know that the one-punch theory is mostly a myth.
“First punch wins the fight,” is the way it goes. But it...
