ED SCHULTZ RIPS FRANK ON MSNBC
And the story spreads further. It usually doesn't take long before a story that makes it to national blogs ends up on naional cable news. MSNBC's "Ed Show" was less than kind to Commissioner Frank. Video here: (Frank clip begins around 1:52)

NOTE: One of the national blogs that picked up the Frank story allows users to comment via Facebook. One member from Kansas City posted multiple times in the comments Steve Frank's home address and phone number. That is scary and goes way too far from debating Frank's words.

If you missed last night's coverage of this significant ribbon-cutting, click the link. Photos too!

Just like you should be.

MY ALL-TIME FAVORITE TEACHER RECOGNIZED IN PAPER
If like me you are from South Covington, then there's a good chance that you also went to Scott High School. French Teacher Maureen Motsinger was the best. Reading this article from the Enquirer, it appears that she still is. "Madame" is also a breast cancer survivor. Read it! I love this woman.
