Obama Admin Slashed 60,000 Jobs from Recent Stimulus Report

brillant as usal larry - i'm happy i demanded you speak more at the nov. 11th said meeting of bylaws amendments of twdc at zion church-

when a board member attempted to cut you off as you were explaining your points and i stood in front of everyone and ' said don't cut larry off 5 more minutes won't cause the end  world of the end"-

although the end of the world seems like its coming soon because of the folks that won't let us speak as long as they speak - the money power control people-

and you finished with a question-

This isn't today's image, but it is a good image none the less. 

Ed's passing was just a year ago, the Port Authority is in flames, so it might be a good time to capitalize on those in the County who have a decent, honest vision. 

Ed was certainly one.

And, I believe, Paul Alsenas is another.

He looks good on May 16, 09 with Peter Griesinger and other civically concerned and committed citizens in this rainy image, anyway.

Trust?  So, the sign says...on Cleveland's Cold Storage Building on Abbey Rd.

Amy Goodman @ TruthDig - “In the next 60 seconds, 10 children will die of hunger,” says a United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) online video. It continues, “For the first time in humanity, over 1 billion people are chronically hungry.”

I find the way MMPI bills Cuyahoga County for its monthly “fee” an example of bad management taken to extreme. The billings tell the County nothing of what MMPI does for its healthy fee.

Record 49 Million Americans Going Hungry, USDA

1 in 7 Americans struggles to get enough to eat

I talked with MMPI’s Mark Falanga after a three hour Council briefing to ask a simple question. Did MMPI expect to build a private medical mart on public land at no cost?

For a couple of years,  Tremont West Development Corp.,  Executive Director Chris Garland has refused the request of intersted parties to allow anyone to view only the names of the membership list, boasting a 900 plus active enrollment. At the Nov. 11, 2009 special meeting, they did not make quorum and rumor has it that they are now planning on purging this membership list prior to the Annual meeting in January to reduce the required percentage number for making quorum in hopes of sidestepping, yet, another embarassment.

Allison Kilkenney - You would think during a time of vast unemployment, wealth disparity, and economic instability that great minds would unite in order to imagine and build a new tomorrow in which the suffering of the masses could be lessened. Of course, that fantasy includes the provision that The Smartest Guys In The Room are also The Most Moral Guys In The Room, which is rarely the case.

I guess I’m just stupid. I don’t get it. Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson wants to tax garbage to raise $13 million a year. Then he wants to tax non-profits to raise $5 million a year.

The Huffington Post - Carter and his wife, Rosalynn, are among 3,000 volunteers from 25 countries working with Habitat for Humanity this week to help build and repair homes along the Mekong River in Thailand, Vietnam, China, Cambodia and Laos.

Citizen Ed Hauser, Victorious In The Battle Of Whiskey Island - "Ask Not What Your Planet Can Do For You..."

It has been a year since Northeast Ohio lost our selfless civic activist "Citizen" Ed Hauser, silencing the great voice in the community saying that "The Process is Broken".

November 14, 2009 - the one-year anniversary of Ed's death - a group of family and friends came together on the beautiful Whiskey Island Ed saved, before a late Autumn setting sun, to toast a glorious man, and mourn a most cursed and horrible year in Northeast Ohio without Ed.

What does the dawn hold for this long-suffering region, in the second year without Citizen Hauser?

On my way to hear the amazing Loung Ung at Cleveland Public Library, I caught a few minutes of Busker Bradley J. on East Fourth St. 

He is scraping by in NEO by playing guitar on the streets.  So far, he has eluded the authorities, and he admits he hasn't checked the cost of a busker license.
