News Flash: Locals Pay for Sex

April 25th, 2008 · 11 Comments

Pardon the temptation to scoff at the first two parts of WHAS-TV’s Escort series by Adam Walser. The first two parts, which aired last night, left us disappointed that no customers were outed. We thought, based on the promos, that Jerry Abramson might turn up on a list of johns.

And Now This. . .

April 15th, 2008 · 7 Comments

Well, maybe this is the last new development we’ll have on this story, but I doubt it. Our man Hawkins ran out to the Cardinal Hill Reservoir and recorded a YouTube video designed to scare the bejeezus out of you.
Other than not being able to say “nuclear” correctly, he warns that the Mayor and his […]

Dear C-J: Where’s My Paper? and Other Papers

April 2nd, 2008 · 2 Comments

Dear C-J, I’m just not going to call your screwed-up automated system any more when you fail to deliver my newspaper. Please get your circulation department on the stick and make sure my newspaper gets to my porch every day. Your strategy to get readers online shouldn’t include purposefully skipping delivery on certain days for […]
