There's something about tech entrepreneurs talking to superstar tech entrepreneurs that is, as Sarah Palin might say, "so gosh,darn excitin'." While I could have done without people getting so braggy about Columbus and a booming tech industry, but I was excited to meet some tech superstars, who hit the road on behalf of Barack Obamma's presidential campaign at an event called 2.Ohio.

I've been trying to decide how to break it to PBS conservative talk show host Charlie Rose why the global economy has collapsed. He's been struggling with the issue for a few months now... probably since about the time his stock portfolio started tanking (he should be a very rich man, and so is losing $ millions). He's been interviewing every industrial and political devil who caused this, and they blame little government regulator people, and all decide it is best not to look back, as they weep over their lost fractions-of-fortunes. Yet not one has exposed why this occurred, which is usury.

With the stock market down 675 today you probably don't need any more bad economic news. But research analyst George Zeller is dishing out more. He reports that the unemployment levels are "very discouraging" nationally, "unambiguously unfavorable" for Ohio and "alarmingly high" for Cuyahoga County. "The level of new claims in Cuyahoga County was alarmingly high in the new week," Zeller reports on unemployment figures.

An excellent report, "Casino Impact on Midtown" by Ed Morrison on the economic impact of a casino in the Midtown area.

Timely and relevant information to clearly understand the ramifications of Issue 6, which promotes a future downtown casino as a workfarce development and job creation effort by the City of Cleveland. Issue 6 has now been approved to be placed on the Nov ballot.
