Post a Comment*I'm absolutely flabbergasted that casinos are even being considered in Cincinnati.
i think its a great idea....
the revenue that would be brought in could help in building a new jail. people talk about how much crime casinos create, but i never hear of anything going on in lawrenceburg.
its obvious that jim borgman has no insight to what he draws at all. stick to your little kiddie comic strips, its all your good for.
Anonymous seems to be threatened by Borgman's critique of casinos in Cincinnati. To suggest that Borgmam should concentrate solely on drawing comic strips is preposterous. He has proven his value as a political commentator by winning the most prestigious prize in Journalism, the Pulitzer. William Keating once said Borgman has had a positive and lasting impact on the city of Cincinnati since he replaced the great L.D. Warren, at the Enquirer, 30 years ago.
Sir Jim....care to explain how the mind of the great Borgman came to the conclusion it is OK to call those who back a casino on Broadway Commons "sluts"?
Or will you go into seclusion and hide like you always do when you step over the line? Or perhaps close your eyes and become invisible? That seems to work for children.
It must be nice to to print anything you want no matter how shameful it may be and not be accountable when you are called out by the public.
Thank you for your constructive input to the public dialog regarding the issue of casinos in Cincinnati. It was certainly civil and thoughtful. It should add much to the debate. I hope you are feeling proud of your substantive contribution.
I'm 100% behind Jim on this one. Casinos are the result of small, desparate thinking. Not leadership. Or vision.
I like the win/win/win/lose sketch, but the poor aren't the only losers in that game.
And fellas, there is a reason that political cartoons are on the opinions page. Like them or not, they are, in fact, opinionated.
oldtiv, what is your opinion on the casinos?
I suppose when people talk about "revenue" that casinos generate, they mean the taxes paid by the casinos, right? I guess that's accurate, but I'm guessing there'll be significant tax breaks given to the company that builds is gambling palace at Broadway Commons.
Other than taxes, it's hard for me to see how busloads of chain smoking grandmas clutching plastic cups full of quarters will do much for the local economy. It's not as if they'll leave the friendly confines of the casino to have a drink on Main Street or catch a play at the Aronoff.
oldtiv...care to explain your slanderous accusations that Jim goes into seclusion and hides when, in your opinion, he steps over a line? Editors of the Enquirer obviously didn't find Jim's cartoon "shameful" when they chose to publish it. Jim holds himself accountable to his readers by allowing people, like you, to post your opinions to his blog. I hope you are feeling proud of your "substantive" contribution.
