Guess what Taco Bell sells?
people in Newport were confused as to what Taco Bell sold so they clarified.

Hummers are back! (Bet you’re happy.)
Hummers are back at the Farbach-Werner Nature Preserve in Groesbeck (Colerain Township, near Cincinnati).
This sign is proof why it is always a good idea to run anything written publicly by the sickest, most twisted, perverted minds before releasing it. Otherwise you might get people buying those $5 annual park passes for exactly the wrong reason. [...]

While Gehring sits in a hospital recuperating slowly but surely, we should take his injuries as [...]
Frank Paul Daugherty entry about being canned by WLW
Radio locally sucks. Even little old WAIF-FM, once a great respite for local radio has gone completely down hill. Now, WLW, in an effort to save money (a push made nationally by owner Clear Channel), has cut a big chunk of their staff. John Kiesewetter at the Enquirer has a good round-up of what happened.
