Cincinnati Bengals seem perplexed why local residents didn't want to give them $300 million for stadium fixes, even after the team said they would give just $50 million

A week ago, I saw an article by Mike Florio that spoke of the Cincinnati Bengals frustration with Hamilton County on the lack of progress with lease negotiations. The Bengals are in somewhat of a hurry. They need to sign a new lease rather soon because their current one runs through 2026. The Cincinnati Enquirer got emails between the team and city showing how displeased both were with the other…

Wow, this is fucking nefarious

(Incidentally cleveland.com's report on this is useless garbage. There's a controversy here!)

“Peter Tork, his blondish brown hair set off by a bright oranged [sic] striped velour shirt, joined the party. His outfit was completed by brown corduroy pants, one orange sock, and one white one, and brown leather moccasins. Peter seemed to be enjoying himself, but as he answered more and more questions, he began to tire. Peter, who is frequently referred to as the intellect of the group, suggested that ‘thoughtful’ might be a better term. ‘In life, experience is the only teacher. I mean, you don’t really know how it is to fall in love just by reading a book about it,’ he said.” - The Cincinnati Enquirer, January 7, 1967

"Bob Kling makes a final touch to his Furby creation at the butter cow display at the Ohio State Fair in 2000. Kling is director of Sculpting for Hasbro."

Article From The Cincinnati Enquirer (newspapers.com transcript)

Date: August 13, 2000

Hasbro butters up the fair 

 How do you bring butter to life? Mix toy-makers with the dairy farmers during the Ohio State Fair. Eight Cincinnati toy sculptors from Hasbro went from designing action-figures to spending four days in a refrigerator sculpting butter. The local design team is behind this year's butter sculpture, the largest ever at the fair on display through Aug. in Columbus. Accompanying the annual cow and calf are depictions of Hasbro's Mr. Monopoly, pet Furby and a Tonka Truck.

The Hasbro designers approached the American Dairy Association (ADA) of the Mideast after their veteran butter sculptor of 36 years retired. The ADA Mideast liked the idea. There aren't a lot of skilled butter sculptors in the area to carry on the century-old tradition. "The dairy industry and Hasbro have a lot in common children," said Jenny Wilson, director of communications for Mideast ADA, who pointed out that the "milk mustache" ad campaign is aimed at children.

Some choice details, such as the folds of skin in the hind quarters, a big vein on the udder and the slope of the cow's back, 'were pain painstakingly patted into place. Contrary to popular opinion, butter is no easy medium. "It's slimy," said Mr. Kling "Butter responds a little bit like bad clay," he said. Although the team worked in a 45-degree walk-in cooler, they found that their body heat would still melt the butter that ran down their arms.

"At the end of the day we would shower and even then, we still smelled like butter," said Mr. Kling. However artfully successful the sculptures are, they'll last only as long as the fair. "They'll turn off the cooler and pressure wash the frames," said Mr. Kling, who said it would be too expensive to try to preserve the butter art in another medium.

Cincinnati apologizes for wrongly evicting thousands in the 1950's. Didn't FC Cincinnati just do that?

This week, the city of Cincinnati announced that they would formally apologize for destroying an entire neighborhood in the 1950s. At the time, Cincinnati claimed it was an “urban renewal” project. In reality, the city was evicting 25,000 poor, non-white people so that a new business district and a new interstate road could be created. In private, the city called it a “slum clearance”. Not to…

Marin Scotten at Salon:

Speaking at a Trump rally on Monday, Ohio state Sen. George Lang said the country might need a "civil war" if Republicans lose in November, The Cincinnati Enquirer reported. Lang, speaking alongside Vance at the latter's first solo rally since securing the Republican nomination, said the GOP ticket is are the "the last chance to save our country politically”.”  “I’m afraid if we lose this one, it’s going to take a civil war to save the country. And it will be saved, it’s the greatest experiment in the history of mankind,” Lang said.

Ohio State Sen. George Lang (R) spoke at the J.D. Vance rally yesterday to call for a “civil war” if the Trump/Vance ticket lost to Kamala Harris. Is he nuts or what?

Women’s Bobbed Hair Got Cincinnati Men’s Dander Up One Hundred Years Ago

One hundred years ago, most men in Cincinnati believed women had got all the doggone progress they deserved. Women could vote, they were driving cars, they smoked cigarettes, and some women – gasp! – had jobs. In 1924, Cincinnati women discovered a new way to exasperate men. They had the nerve to cut their hair.

For many men, it was a sign of the end times. The Enquirer [2 April 1924] reported on a man who shot himself after a “three-hour tirade against all women” because his wife had her hair bobbed. The Post [29 March 1924] carried a story about an 18-year-old girl who bought rat poison in a suicide attempt because of the abuse heaped on her by her parents when she got a haircut. A single woman told the Post [25 April 1924] that she was glad to be unmarried with her bobbed hair.

“Consider what suffering I might undergo for my bobbed hair if I were married. My husband might kill himself on my account, so that I would be obliged to wear black for a year. I look dreadful in black. Of course, if a woman looks good in black, it is not so bad if her husband kills himself because of her bobbed hair.”

Some men avoided suicide and charged into divorce court. Robert M. Hannah of Spring Grove Avenue told the judge, according to the Enquirer [3 May 1924], that his wife abused and neglected him, but the haircut was the last straw:

“He said he was much opposed to bobbed hair, and to torment him she had her hair bobbed, then brought the tresses home to him, wrapped up, telling him it was a present. Then they separated.”

The local courts saw women making decisions about their own tresses as infringing on the property rights of their husbands. Judge William D. Alexander, according to the Post [18 March 1924], believed that husbands who treasured their wives ought to have a say about their appearance. He dismissed a case brought against John Brown of Clifton Avenue, who struck his wife when she got a bobbed haircut without permission. The judge said:

“If my wife wanted to have bobbed hair, she would at least consult me; that’s a wife’s duty and a matter of courtesy toward her husband.”

Typically, Cincinnati was inclined to blame any new fad for the downfall of civilization, and the local newspapers obliged by delightedly printing reports of “bobbed-hair bandits” who perpetrated robberies around town. There was one such gun moll operating in the West End who carried a “wicked revolver” and waylaid men wandering the neighborhood at night. The Enquirer [3 March 1924] was delighted because New York and Chicago had endured the predations of “bobbed-hair bandits” and our town felt left out:

“Cincinnati achieved a ‘bobbed-hair bandit’ last night and graduated to the ranks of a cosmopolitan city.”

Another bobbed-hair bandit operated over several months with a male accomplice. The Post [4 April 1924] reported she was the brains behind the operation when a gas station on Central Avenue got robbed:

“The blonde female bandit, with bobbed hair, who has been sought by police for two months, during which time she has been active, put in an appearance again Thursday night.”

Perhaps it was the unsavory connotations of bobbed hair in regard to banditry or suicides or divorce but the biggest kerfuffle caused by shorn locks in 1924 involved the University of Cincinnati College of Nursing. The dean of the college, Laura Logan, penalized eight students who dared to cut their hair by requiring them to endure another three months of instruction (presumably time to allow their tresses to grow out again). Dean Logan told the Enquirer [10 April 1924]:

“‘It was necessary to make a ruling on this because of the necessity of deciding what goes with a nurse’s uniform and what does not,’ Miss Logan said. ‘It was decided that bobbed hair detracts from the dignity of the uniform. Since uniformity was essential, this was the only way in which it could be maintained.’”

For the record, here are the young women whose rebellious fashion sense earned them double-secret probation from the nursing college: Mildred Carson, Grace Funk, Virginia Jordan, Mary Randolph, Virgina Shoot, Isabel Baer, Doris Kreimer and Mary Macey.

The newspapers reported that the nursing schools at Christ Hospital and Good Samaritan Hospital had enforced similar rules. At Deaconess Hospital the Post [11 April 1924] found the superintendent somewhat conflicted:

“‘We have more important things to worry about than bobbed hair,’ Rev. A.G. Lohmann, superintendent of Deaconess Hospital, said. Rev. Lohmann said he did not particularly blame any woman for bobbing her hair. ‘It certainly is more sanitary,’ he said. The superintendent, however, gave it as his opinion that bobbed hair was not attractive. He is discouraging bobbed hair at his institution by requiring new students in the School of Nursing to wear hair nets.”

One economic sector very much in favor of bobbed hair was the tonsorial trade. Hair stylists in 1924 could arrange and braid hair but knew nothing about cutting it. Barbers, on the other hand, now found themselves in demand by a very different, feminine, clientele. Business boomed, according to the Post [30 Aprl 1924]:

“Of 85 beauty parlors here, 19 have opened since Jan. 1. The demand for attention by bobbed heads is so great that many establishments are being opened in the suburbs. Just like husband and father, wife and daughter now have their favorite barber, whom they visit regularly to have the clippers run up their necks.”

And that may explain the real reason so many men objected to the new hairstyles – they cost more. Hugh McKay complained to the Post [1 October 1924] that his wife’s haircut cost four dollars compared to his 40-cent trim, once special treatments like water-waves and marcelles were applied. And, once her hair was clipped, her hats no longer fit and she needed new millinery.

Jackie Gleason was a hedonistic ne’er-do-well for his entire career. Long before he was famous he convinced the producers of the Broadway sketch comedy revue The Duchess Misbehaves to advance him a month’s salary, which he promptly wasted on booze, broads and card games. When he stumbled through rehearsals hungover and half drunk, he was fired and replaced with the burlesque comedian Joey Faye.

Broadway producer David Merrick had similar problems when Gleason starred in his production Take Me Along. He called Gleason “a big, fat drunken slob … who was appearing night after night virtually drunk on stage.”

Gleason and booze went hand in hand. Even his famous nickname – The Great One – was bestowed by Orson Welles when the larger than life duo got absolutely hammered together.

One afternoon when he was wasted on the golf course, Gleason engaged in a golf cart race, driving wildly out of control with his manager Bullets Durgom in the passenger seat. When the cart crashed and capsized, Durgom was hospitalized for a fractured spine.

Gleason was among the most popular personalities in America, but he was not without his haters. Television created a new subgenre in American media – the irate letter writer. Newspapers in the 1950s were filled with angry letters to the editor complaining about everyone and everything. In the decades prior to “mean tweets” it was the letters to the editor section where irate cranks expressed their lunatic feelings.

“Nothing Jackie Gleason does will ever look good to me,” wrote a viewer to The Cincinnati Enquirer in 1955. “He is not a comedian. He is a fat tub of lard who talks too much. What ever happened to his diet? I am glad he is off for the season. – No Gleason Fan.”

Tom Campbell interviews Peter Tork in Cincinnati.

“Peter Tork, unofficial spokesman, commented: ‘The Monkees must take up about 90 hours a week of our time.’ Micky joined Peter to comment on the question they’re asked most often. ‘Do you play your own music?’ Certainly they do. The concert tour proves that. But they admit they don’t always play the music for records. Their shooting schedule is 7:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. ‘Terrible hours!’ Peter exclaimed. For those long hours, each Monkee earns about $400 weekly from Screen Gems. Is the acting as spontaneous as it looks? ‘People wonder if we ever ad lib right in front of the camera,’ Peter said. ‘And that almost never happens. If the cameramen and soundmen don’t know where we’re going, we can’t get the shot. ‘If we think of something and create it on the spot, we rehearse it twice for the technicians, the director and ourselves. Then we shoot it. So it’s almost impromptu. Sort of impromptu-PLUS.’” - article by Tom Campbell, The Cincinnati Enquirer Teen-Ager, January 14, 1967
