Week in Review
Here are some headlines from my week.
1. PD Peddles Panic, Reader Gets Jaded
Nowhere in this story did the reporter capture the sentiment that was expressed repeatedly in our block club: namely, that this kind of crime can happen anywhere, and that we weren't "terrified."
2. Breaking News: Cleveland.com Still Sucks, Just in Different Way
Have a look at the site redesign for yourself. Does anyone know a good way of figuring out what's going on in Cleveland? Because the local news outlets are becoming unreadable/unwatchable. I might just have to start reading the city council minutes.
3. Supermarket Closing, Neighborhood To Become Less Walkable
While stopping off for a loaf of bread after our semi-regular pizza night at Papa Nick's in Edgewater, we noticed a sign on the Giant Eagle across the street: "This Giant Eagle will be closing permanently on September 10. Please visit our pedestrian-unfriendly megastore near the I-90 onramp." (It didn't say that explicitly, but that's what it amounts to.)
4. McCain Taps Barracuda, Nader Supporter Fills with Angst
In choosing the exact kind of person I can't stand as his running mate, Grandpa McCain might have singlehandedly wooed me out of the Nader camp. However, I don't like emotional manipulation, so stay tuned.

That PD article reads like an RL Stine book. More like Fear Street than Goosebumps. Are there any redeeming qualities in this newspaper at all?
is that a news article or fear propaganda?
Doesn't every American girl aspire to be Sarah Palin? I mean, Palin is an upper-middle-class mom with a beautiful family AND a successful career. She lives a comfortable and satisfying life. Every girl's dream, n'est pas?
An upper middle class mom is something I will never, ever be able to identify with, not even a little bit.
