I don't agree. First of all, AG is not in "Cleveland" right now. It is a suburban company. And while I am not in the delusional category of people who think that Midtown is going to look like Michigan Ave. in 5-10 years, I don't want to sacrafice whatever potential it does have to keep a company which operates in a dwindling business category. I think AG will stay. They are just trying to leverage the best deal possible.

Yeah... that location sucks, but I hope it stays in UC. I thought the proposal for the powerhouse aquarium had died.... or at least died down?

In any public records case, the presumption is in favor of openness. Kasich is going to lose this one.

Jeez.... somebody needs to lighten up. I didn't mean to insult your girlfriend. Interesting you respond to my comment but not Dan's, which suggested that a woman who is gay is a man. And if you don't think that Beck is a complete a$$hole, then the wool is over your eyes. You could argue that he is the most dangerous force in America right now because of the seeds he irresponsibly plants in his audience, so easily susceptible to his tactics of manipulation. Like I said before, Beck is either an idiot or he intentionally misrepresents facts.... blatantly. I know he is not an idiot. So..... Anybody want to take me up on the challenge of who has made more blatant misrepresentations, Maddow or Beck?

Sadly, Ohio is one of the MANY states where this discrimination is okay

But how do you feel about the woman who is always crying on Fox?

I guess the question has to be asked why we have a thread dedicated to Rachel Maddow? There are at least three threads I can think of where this discussion could have taken place.

If you read the article, you will notice that a goal of selecting the location is to maximize the ability to attract creative talent for the workforce.

...and the Washington Post; and Time magazine; and CBS, NBC, ABC, and CNN; and (insert-name-of-pretty-much-any-other-big-city-newspaper-here); and the New Yorker; and... While I don't agree with all of the above (especially CNN), what about talk radio? Conservatives dominate that sector of the market. Even here is a liberal city like Cleveland we have popular talking heads like Bob Franz and Mike Trivissommo (who suddenly became a political commentator and moved away from Sports when Obama was elected.... hmmmmmmm). Major newspapers like the Washington Times and a few of Ohio's big city newspapers lean to the right. And don't forget the blogosphere such as Drudge Report, Breitbart.com, isbarackobamamuslim.com, Red State, Michelle Malkin, World Daily Net, National Review, Newsmax, Hot Air, The Weekly Standard, Jihad Watch, and countless others. You just don't like the media outlets you mentioned, such as CNN, because they objectively report and your ears just have not adapted to that type of media.

And the conservatives have the WSJ. Point?

I just think there are more options for liberals to get news that is slanted towards them. The major networks lean left, some more than others. CNN is middle-ish. Fox News is the only right leaning outlet. Conservatives pick it exclusively. Liberals spread their ratings among several other stations. But all those other channels rip on Fox and say that they are the only one choosing sides and that they need to be stopped. Liberals have more channels to choose from Yeah... that's what "they" say. But the fact of the matter is that MSNBC and Fox are rough equivalents, in degree of their leanings and mission of their broadcasts. The other news stations are nowhere near those two. I think any news organization that does not have a HEAVY right wing slant is branded as liberal by conservative America. I could go into further detail of this common talking point ("mainstream liberal media"), which was generally started and popularized by Rush Limbaugh, but any conclusion on that point would be purely subjective. It's a neat trick though..... catch a conservative in a lie or spat of ignorance and then blame it on the liberal, gotcha mainstream media. On the issue of liberal vs. conservative preferences, I just saw a study that showed liberals are much more likely to prefer print journalism (including on-line).

You wanna see somebody destroy O'Reilly?....

While I don't personally care for Olbermann, I found this commentary to be particularly persuasive and well-delivered.

Maddow is the most stomachable on the nightly MSNBC lineup. But as her ratings and the other ratings on MSNBC demonstrate, liberals are not nearly as hooked on cable news as conservatives are. ClevelandOhio, if you have never seen/heard Beck attack then you have never watched/listened to his show or are oblivious to his message. He never makes it 15 minugtes witghout inferring that those who disagree with him are commie-socialist-jihadists hell bent on ripping apart the fabric of our great society. And he blatantly misrepresents the facts in an attempt to rationalize a misguided point. While I don't care for Maddow's style or delivery, she does not do what Beck and Hannitty do. I would take the pepsi challenge on that point any day. O'Reilly, who has somehow become the voice of reason on Faux is a much more apt comparison for Maddow. Whether you prefer one or the other likely depends on your social leanings

They are building a small plaza between the MM and the County building.

Michelle has posted here before.

I don't get the psychology that goes into deciding to wear an opposing team's jersey to a stadium like CBS. I don't feel sorry for those idiots at all. They know what they are walking into.... especially the one's that wear Ravens or Steelers. I readily join in the harrassment and name-calling for those douches. But, when the other fan is not acting like a d!ck, not gloating, and unnecessarily getting picked on.... I have seen people stand up for them against unruly behavoir. I was involved in an incident a year or two ago where there was a guy in the opposing team's gear. He wasn't talking trash or causing a nuisance. He came to sit in our section and, of course, he was called every name in the book getting to his seat. He took it like a good sport. Then he happened to be sitting in front of "that guy" who was drunk off his arse and started harrassing the guy.... pouring beer on him and he even took his hat and threw it toward the field. I thought that was going over the line so me and my friends took up for the guy and put the drunk in his place. Other fans joined in to help out. I think that is the general atmosphere at CBS. If you ask for it, you're going to get it. But if you don't act like an arse, then we will only rib you to a point. The bottom line is that if this kid was really tackled, and it wasn't an obvious accident, you would have very different eye witness reports and someone would have done something to the drunk guy.

^Try google, Ned. You'll get a few hits.

I agree that EOG is a candidate for residential conversion. But I don't see it happening anytime soon. Question - Isthat the original facade? Key is for offices. In fact, the offices I have seen in that building are really nice. Now...... Huntington is a building that would have me foaming at the mouth if I was a developer. That lobby just screams "grand" from one end to the other. So much potential....

LaHood is doing what he should be doing.... talkin' tough. But he is nowhere close to officially re-allocating that money.

There are three spinoff hotels being looked at along Euclid - JHB, Schofield, and now this talk of the CAC. I guess Schofield is technically on E. 9th, but it owns that corner with Euclid.

Every morning. Maybe 3-4 times at night per week, but that would only be a rinse off.

Take a look at the rendering. There are three sections of the residential/retail component on the north side of Euclid. The westernmost section.... the one on the corner of Euclid and Ford is part of phase II

Driving by, the alley looks even narrower than the rendering makes it look.

Right on. I also found a link within that link to "Report Government Waste"...... I mentioned something about throwing away $400 million.
