The Invasion 8/21/2017

Monday afternoon, August 21, 2017 under cover of the darkness from the solar eclipse, transhuman Nazi cyborgs will fly out of their secret bases on the dark side of the moon in their alien modified M 266 Messerschmitt fighters and scream down from the sky firing their alien designed particle beam weapons on frightened unsuspecting Americans in their mad quest to start the 5th Reich to be ruled by their alien hybrid allies.
Trump will quickly acquiesce in exchange for the right to build golf courses on the moon.
The deserted malls will become prison camps for dissidents and will be administered by FEMA (who has been in league with the aliens since the agencies's inception).
People will be harvested to work as zombie workers on the alien's slave colonies.
The alien lizard men will rape the Earth women and systematically end the human species as we know it.
But could there be hope?
Could we flee to the poles, enter the underworld and ally with the strange & terrible beings who live in those depths?
Or will they act with the alien Nazi hybrid cyborgs and just flank us & destroy our once proud race?
Any way you look at it - things will change for the worse.

Eat Shit and Die, Photobucket

The image sharing website, Photobucket, used by zillions for 10 years & more has decided to charge $400 a year to do what they have been doing for free the whole time.
Further, their site has become a minefield of pop up ads.
You can get a whole website for under $100, so how they pulled the $400 price tag out of their asses is fucking insane.
Anyway this site will have a lot of broken image links - not gonna fix many, but some....

Blue Dress FTW

Simpson the Only Candidate to Mention Delivery in Regard to the Discussion of Food Deserts

The Cincinnati Business Courier interviewed the 3 mayoral candidates about Cincinnati food deserts. Cranley rambled on like he was drunk & NOBODY mentioned the grocery food delivery options. Meijer & Kroger have contracted with 3rd parties & Amazon has limited grocery products.
When pressed on this, Chris Wetterich said that Simpson actually did, but it had been edited out.

There are some neighborhoods that are looking at grocery delivery as an option as well. I think that works for some people. The grocery store is not just a place where people get food. It’s a place where people gather and the option of being able to go in and pick your own groceries … is so important that I don’t know that grocery delivery is going to work completely.

I doubt Simpson is old enough to remember grocery & milk delivery, but relationships did evolve with families & delivery people back in the day.
The bigger issue is wether these stores will accept EBT payments. Amazon has stated that requires gummint approval, so the 3rd party delivery services might have problems.
Anyway, Simpson seems to be the only one who has any idea what is going on on the issue.
Simpson for mayor !

John Cranley's Misguided Priories

In mini-Trump's recent campaign ad, he maligns Yvette Simpson for her priorities and citing his attempt at a police state is the way to go.
Unfortunately, history is not on Cranley's side.
Back in the early 70s Kansas City, MO engaged in The Preventive Patrol Experiment where they found increasing or decreasing the police presence in neighborhoods had no real effect in preventing crime.
Nevertheless, he has added more city employees & circumvented the City Manager to give the employees raises in the face of a looming budget shortfall.
Simpson, OTOH, wants to invest in the city in an effort to create jobs & opportunity thru infrastructure investment that will also help repopulate currently desolate places where crime can easily take root.
More responsible, educated citizenry with good paying job is the answer to crime prevention, not throwing away money on men in uniform driving around in tricked out gas guzzling Batmobiles.

Is Keli Prather Insane ?

Or crazy like a fox?
Political newcomer, Keli Prather, is either batshit crazy or is using the anti media strategy that DJ Trump successfully used to win the presidency. Not that he's not batshit crazy or anything...
Her campaign appears to be a social media based campaign where she has accused a Cincinnati Enquirer editor of assaulting her.
A common occurrence with Cincinnati Enquirer editors - who hasn't received a beat down from one or two?
Then, after her campaign was covered at Cincinnati.com, she fired off this post on their Politics FB group with the hashtag, "Fuck the racist ass Cincinnati Enquirer", because she didn't like the photo they used.
This chick is showing the cool, calm rationality we need in government for sure. Maybe she will strt Tweeting about fake news.
But, hey, it worked for the POTUS, so maybe people will buy in with the angry, media victimized woman thing.

Are Food Deserts an Issue?

In the latest Cincinnati mayoral debate the issue of food deserts came up.
But as more and more delivery options come online, do the old desert definitions still apply?
Meijer has announced they will be delivering most grocery items (no hooch, prescriptions, etc.) and Amazon already has a limited supply of groceries (and hooch) with Prime Now. Will Kroger be far behind? They already have pick up for online ordering.
Some convenience stores have ordering set up with 3rd parties somewhat similarly to 3rd party delivery for restaurants.
People complain that not all people have internet access but, as long as we can maintain our library system, that can be their contact line.
So, will the co ops like Clifton Market & Apple Street Market succeed?
Will the big guys rule supreme with low paid drivers?

OK
