DO CINCINNATI ELECTION RESULTS INDICATE ANYTHING FOR COVINGTON?
Probably not. But it is worth noting that four Republican members of city council were not returned to their seats and that SEVEN Democrats were elected. Four of them are under the age of 35. They have a majority African-American council and one member is the city's first openly-gay councilman. The voters also approved a progressive stance on mass transit and statewide, voted down an anti-union piece of legislation.
Covington has had an openly gay member on the city commission since 2009 and now Cincinnati, and several other cities across the country elected their first openly gay candidates as well.

A TAX ON CHRISTMAS TREES TO SAVE CHRISTMAS TREES?
People who sell live trees for the holidays are tired of all of you fakers and your plastic travesties. So, they've taken their cause to the President who suggests a fifteen cent tax on producers of Christmas trees for each tree, the proceeds of which would go toward marketing fresh-cut trees.

JUSTIN BIEBER'S NEW VIDEO IS SONG CO-WRITTEN BY COVINGTON MAN
Last week he was dodging paternity rumors. This week he's got a new Christmas video. The song? Santa Claus is Coming to Town. All of you non-Beliebers can blame Covington's own Haven Gillespie who co-wrote the original version that an animated Beebs is now rocking for a new generation of alleged baby mamas. Watch it. You know you want to. "Santa's coming, girl!" LOL.
