Michael Enright, accused of stabbing a cabbie for being a Muslim, has been a volunteer for the past year at Intersections International. That’s a group that is dedicated to religious tolerance.
The web libeler of a Bengals cheerleader was nailed for $11 million in a court judgment, of which $10 is punitive. I suppose one could ask if being of that ilk wasn’t punishment enough.
A request was submitted for federal money to help offset the $128 million cost of the first phase of development for a Cincinnati streetcar system that will run from downtown up the hill to the University of Cincinnati area. I repeat, first phase. I enjoy trips to Asheville, N.C. and cannot help but note that their streetcars are privately owned and operated (paying taxes, not consuming them) and circle the entire metro area.
Chad Ochocinco, a repeat offender of NFL (the organization that enables him to earn millions annually) rules, was fined $25,000 for his latest infraction. He “apologized” to the commissioner, addressing him as “Dad” and asking him if the next time they might just try a timeout. Smart move, showing that the fine doesn’t deter him from anticipating a next time. I’m guessing that penalty will not be a timeout and that he has guaranteed that it will be of sufficient magnitude to gain his attention.
