It's the Cincinnati Reds playin' basteball again!

Today, I went to the Opening Day parade.

It was so tame and poorly attended that it made the New Year's event on Fountain Square look like a late '90s Hineygate in comparison.

Still waiting for my check from the Kremlin

The Associated Press is completely off its rocker.

The recent train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio, caused an untold amount of environmental damage. There will be cancers and mass deaths of wildlife resulting from it for decades to come. State officials are lying and covering it up.

But the AP just ran a piece saying this is just "anti-American propaganda" spread by Vladimir Putin, and those who make the above claims are being paid off.

Then where's my check from the Kremlin?

Usually, people who accuse foes of being paid off by Russia are themselves being paid off by China.

Louisville relaxes odor rules

Living in modern America means more stifling statism for individuals but almost total deregulation for big corporations. This bipartisan scourge is the very essence of fascism, and lately it's been modeled fluently in Louisville.

For years, a pork plant on the west side of Louisville has had a history of noncompliance with the city's regulations on odors. Residents have complained of nausea and other symptoms. In addition, nearby neighborhoods have been plagued by odors from other sources, including smells of chemicals and sewage.

But now - instead of enforcing the rules - the city's Air Pollution Control District board has unanimously voted to loosen the rules. Much of this change came at the urging of the Jefferson County Attorney's office. But an environmental lawyer says this change gives more power to polluters.

Being a corporation means never having to follow rules like everyone else. In the past few years, public bodies in America's major cities have enthusiastically regimented individual behavior and lied about the reasons for it, yet corporate polluters can operate with no limits whatsoever.

Another funny dream

Last night, I had a dream I went up to NKU and some guy kept walking through the halls and farting really loud. A professor then called the police.

Lindsey Graham wants to start a war with Mexico

For over 30 years, the U.S. has been in war after war after war almost continuously.

Now Lindsey Graham says he plans to introduce a bill authorizing a war with Mexico, of all places. "I would tell the Mexican government if you don't clean up your act, we're going to clean it up for you," the far-right Republican senator from South Carolina said.

Authorization for war would still need to pass Congress and be signed by the President. You can bet your bottom dollar the media is salivating at that prospect.

Old U.S. 50 is nifty

Last Wednesday, I goed Roads Scholaring on the east side of Cincinnati, and it turns out that most of my route followed the old path of U.S. 50!

But, whatever the weather, this outing yielded 12 photos, and last night, I posted them for you to beep of the oggle variety. So point your pooper here...
