MORE BAD NEWS ABOUT A NEW BRENT SPENCE BRIDGE
As expressed by Congressman Geoff Davis:
|
BY THE WAY...
Are you keeping tabs on the folks seeking to replace Davis in Congress? There are 5 Republicans seeking the seat, including Tom Wurtz who wrote this in a recent column:
When a lady finally answered the telephone, I asked, “Do you have a book entitled, How Do You Kill 11 Million People?" There was silence on the other end of the line. I repeated my request. The lady confessed that she never heard of the book and offered to check their inventory. I felt she kept me on the phone for a very long time. Maybe she was allowing the F.B.I. to trace my call. I decided to hang up.So... he seems like... fun?
The F.B.I. never showed. Strangely, my book request was for a legitimate book that just hit the market. It was written by Andy Andrews and I learned about it from watching the Glenn Beck Program. It’s a book about the Holocaust. I ordered it online and it inspired me to ask the following question.
So how do you enslave 311 million Americans? YOU LIE TO THEM!

GOVERNOR BESHEAR IN THE RIVER CITIES WITH A BIG FAT CHECK
Great news for our sister across the Licking:
Governor Steve Beshear today joined local leaders to announce funding for a new development project that addresses housing revitalization needs for the city of Newport. The $1 million Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) will go toward the construction of 10 new housing units for low to moderate income families.
“Owning a house is part of the American dream, yet due to recent economic hardships and the catastrophic housing crisis, many people have found that dream to be unattainable,” Governor Beshear said. “In Kentucky, we want to reassure families that owning a house is no longer out of reach and the funding for this development project is a positive step in that direction.”

With the increasing cost of air travel and the declining flight activity at shrinking airport markets like CVG, many people are turning to low cost alternatives provided by inter-city buses.Urban Cincy

ART SHOW OPENS TONIGHT AT ARTISAN ENTERPRISE CENTER
From the AEC:
The AEC in Covington, KY will present the exhibition "A Retelling" which presents work by artists Brian Harmon, McCrystle Wood and Billy Renkl. The opening reception will be held on Februray 3, 2012 from 6pm to 10pm and the exhibit will run through March 9, 2012. This exhibition, curated by Katie Rentzke, brings together three different artists that have three very different mediums and platforms of expression. Yet, all their work speaks to the concept of personal story and the identity we find in those stories.
Brian Harmon, having an MFA in photography from the University of Cincinnati is a visual artist who uses a photographic installation called "The Fear of Forgetting" to illustrate the importance we place on memory. His collection of dream like imagery articulates the physical and emotional ways we try to preserve precise moments of our history in order to preserve the identity we find in those moments.
