Bad boys in Cincinnati
June 3, 2004On the hit Fox TV show Cops, the bad boys usually are the drug dealers and shoplifters. But in Cincinnati, it's city council, not the criminals, getting the bad rap. Cincinnati police rescinded their offer to have Cops film for eight weeks after hearing objections from City Council. While Council fears the city would be depicted in a negative light, police and citizens are insisting Cincinnati is missing out on a worthwhile opportunity. City council might have seen the show, but they definitely missed the message. Cops not only shows, rightly or wrongly, criminals at their worst, but it also shows police officers at their best -as heroes. By allowing Cops to film, Cincinnati will have the opportunity to improve a tarnished image, and by ending the filming only two days after it began, the city gives the impression it has something to hide.

June 2, 2004Although current ticket prices give the idea the featured artist provides the most memories at a concert, it usually is the little idiosyncrasies of the day (or night) that last a lifetime. My concert experiences have been amplified (no pun intended) by these little sensory treasures.
Media biases Iraq coverage
June 2, 2004(U-WIRE) -A great lie has permeated the international media -including news agencies here in the United States -and it is a lie that, if left unchecked, threatens to destroy the seeds of democracy America is diligently planting in Iraq. This lie asserts that at the core of the prison abuse scandal in Abu Ghraib lies a structural mandate reaching as high up as Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld to conduct interrogations through psychological torture, humiliation and sexual perversion.
