Can't stay up late to listen to Sloan? Neither can we.
THE SORDID HISTORY OF OUR BOY
Scott Sloan had a dream. Like TV’s Mike Brady he wanted to be an architect, live in a house he designed and have a backyard covered in Astroturf. Yes—he would study, work hard and be like Mike. What kind of go-getting self-starter rolls the career dice and walks away from prestige, fortune and a closet full of sweet looking gingham slacks to go in to broadcasting? OK, truthfully Scott didn’t have a choice in the matter. He barely could pass basic algebra and visions of future liability suits due to poor calculations ended his studies of design. He needed a career where sloth, introversion, pessimism, goofy looks and the inability to balance a checkbook didn’t matter. Radio would be a better fit and you can wear whatever kind of pants you like. After working in a few cities including Milwaukee, Charleston and Toledo, he joined 700WLWin 2001. Scott’s show is a reflection of the Ritalin fueled times in which we live: A hyperfest of satire, observational humor, current events, hot issues, and just plain goofin’. Because it airs so late management doesn’t actually listen to the show and as far as they know, our boy plays ten songs an hour from Cincinnati’s biggest on-air music library “with your favorites from 70’s, 80’s 90’s and the hits of today”. Please don’t blow his cover. Oh, and if you’re up give him a listen. If it doesn’t work out he’s young enough to still get back into design and could possibly build something you or a loved one would use. And when it collapses in mess of twisted steel and concrete, you’ll be wishing you had listened. Keep your loved ones safe by keeping Scott Sloan on The Big One.
Drive As Fast As You Want, Just Don't Drink Because of the gas crunch, the Ohio Highway Patrol has less cars on the road but a higher number of sobriety checkpoints. I'm guessing that's where the real money is, and fewer people are speeding.

Job Losses The US shaved 62K jobs last month, the sixth straight month of declines. The unemployment rate is still a robust 5.5%. People are "blaming" the White House and big oil, but for me a lot can be said by looking at what sectors grew:
Heavy job losses in construction, manufacturing, business services and retailing eclipsed job gains in education and health services, leisure and hospitality, and government.
The areas in decline are obvious, with auto sales dropping like a rock, building starts down and people buying less in general. Same for the growth in education as the number of kids in school peaks and the expanding medical industry as boomers head into retirement.
But as we near what some would lead you to believe is the financial brink, why the expansion in the hotel and restaurant industry? Leisure would seem to be one of the first things to go. Note too no matter how tough the economic times, government continues to expand.

Sex For Gas $4.69? Ft. Wright woman offers sex in exchange for a $100 gas card (with mug shot so you can judge if she's worth it).
Why The World Hates Lawyers Michael Hamblin is the convicted sex offender who was arrested again after trying to lure two young girls into the woods at a Mason park to help him find "flying squirrels". In his possession were binoculars, latex gloves and a hunting knife. His defense:
"The only people who may be liable here are the parents for not supervising their own children," attorney Tim McKenna said at a preliminary hearing for Michael Hamblin.
It's the old "she had it coming to her by the way she was dressed" rape defense. The kids, by playing in a public park, had coming to them whatever Hamblin had in mind. McKenna should be in a cell with him, scumbag.
Rage Over 'Roids Locally we have school districts testing students for drugs, including steroids. I've believed all along kids aren't hanging out in the few gyms with guys dealing the stuff, let alone having the coin to drop hundreds a month to fuel the habit. Lookee here:
Of the 10,407 student athletes who were tested in the state of Texas this spring, only two were shown to be using steroids. Both supporters and critics of the testing program – the largest among high schools in the country – said the results validate their positions. Yet the results have raised doubts about whether state lawmakers, who mandated the screenings, will renew the $3 million-a-year project at current levels. Between 40,000 and 50,000 student athletes will be tested next school year, according to state officials.
TWO out of over ten thousand tested are caught using 'roids! Good Lord, it's an epidemic. Of course the supporters think it's because the threat of testing that the numbers are low. If that's true with the juice, why not other things like driving without a seatbelt, smoking and drinking?
If the threat of being caught is enough to deter that many students from illegal behavior when it comes to steroids, surely the penalties facing kids on those offenses would do the job as well. The reality of course is no. We know the risk-reward neurons in teenagers are as badly wired as the lights on Ralphie's Christmas tree.
It's not about saving the kids, it's about using them for political opportunism and expanding drug testing budgets.

Fairfield Man Has 1st Of July Fireworks Show...In His Garage Doh!:
Homeowners Bernie Warren and Bob Hengeli said they were preparing for their annual Fourth of July party by stringing together fireworks tubes when one of them ignited and set off a chain reaction.
“It was like Fourth of July enclosed in the garage,” Warren said.
The men spent about $3K on the stuff. From what I saw, it was all legal. In NoHio, you can buy fireworks as long as you sign a form saying you'll transport them out of state to blow them off. Even though it was an accident--and the men were taking them this weekend to Indiana--authorities STILL cited them for possession.
Leave it to the gov'mint to allow the legal sale of something, tax you on it, and then fine you for having what they allowed to be sold!
