Dear Joy Rolland:

I would like to formally apologize if my previous letters regarding The Kabaka Oba Legal Defense Fund bothered you, but I did feel that the Cincinnati Blogosphere deserved accurate and detailed information.  Today, however, I bring you a new inquiry in regards to the blog you used to replace The Free Kabaka Blog—something you have entitled “The Broken Dish.”

I think a recent post by local blogger Brendan Cronin encapsulates the problem when members of a dominant religion find their personal experiences somehow universal.  How convenient for this hegemony when its own feelings are the most enlightening and transcendent.  At least that’s how Cronin characterizes himself in a column entitled simply ”Merry Christmas.”

Cincinnati corporate news has widely reported on the death of a young woman after a shooting at a Christmas Eve dance for teens.  This loss of life is tragic, and it demands the collective grief of Cincinnati as a whole.  Unfortunately, some take such circumstances and transform them into twisted opportunities for spouting divisive and racialized rhetoric.

Dear Joy Rolland,

Several weeks ago, I sent you this public inquiry about the “Kabaka Oba Legal Defense Fund” you opened at Fifth-Third Bank.  The account is just an ordinary banking account, and there is nothing about it to guarantee that money deposited is actually used for Kabaka Oba’s legal defense fund.  (I called and verified this with a 5/3 employee.) In addition to never answering this simple inquiry, it has been reported that you have slandered me on your television show for asking this question.

On Tuesday, December 20th, Justin Jeffre and The Dean of Cincinnati went to City Hall to ask questions about the Fountain Square Deal.  They were actually followed by a seemingly nervous employee of the interim City Manager, and their questions were cut short by Finance Director William Moller.  See the first in this series of “iReports”—our name for videoblogging (vlogging) here at The Beacon.

At Tuesday’s press conference, Mayor Mallory responded to criticisms that the new budget does not include aspects promised from his campaign—like an Office of Environmental Management, or a Safety Director.  Mallory stated that the current budget is a “continuation” budget, including policy from the previous Council.  He promised to address his campaign points for the budget to be discussed at this time next year.  But according to my sources, all may not be precisely as our new Mayor makes it appear.

In the Senate today an attempt to block a fillibuster that would hold up ANWR Drilling was blocked. The Republicans failed to gain 60 votes needed to block the buster, 56/57 votes aquired. This is a small step in shielding one of the last true wild frontiers.
