Cincinnati is Ohio’s drunkest city … and can you blame us? – Cincinnati Business Courier

 

There’s a veritable beer renaissance going on in Greater Cincinnati right now. New breweries are popping up on both sides of the Ohio River. Existing craft brewers are rolling out new label after new label. And so, it turns out, that Men’s Health magazine has ranked us as the drunkest city in Ohio.

So sue us.

The Queen City landed at No. 68 on Men’s Health’s ranking, with No. 100 on the list being considered the drunkest. The annual ranking is based on data like DWI arrests, binge-drinking rates and incidents of liver disease.

Cincinnati tipped a few more back than Cleveland, coming in at No. 67 among drunkards. Columbus was No. 64.

American’s drunkest city? That’s Bakersfield, Calif., followed by San Antonio and Stockton, Calif.

See UKIP supporters’ reaction to Nigel Farage’s call to let Syrian refugees into UK

Was there ever any doubt? “So according to UKIP supporters – immigrants and Muslims are ‘filthy’, ‘dirty’ ‘scum’ who deserve to be shot.

So much for Farage’s attempts to portray the UKIP as a modern, moderate, libertarian, non-extremist and non-racist party.”

Pride's Purge

(not satire – it’s the UKIP!)

To get a good idea of the real face of UKIP, all you need to do is to have a look at the reaction from party supporters on the official UKIP Facebook page to Farage’s suggestion that the UK should let some Syrian refugees come to the UK.

Here are just a select few from hundreds of similar comments on the thread (click to enlarge):

The Muslim Brotherhood, a terrorist organisation?

Nervana

This piece initially published in The Globe and Mail

The designation of the Muslim Brotherhood group as a terrorist organization is the most recent example of a growing political agitation in Egypt, a new climax of an ongoing crisis that has shattered Egyptian society and its political establishment.

For months, since the ousting of president Morsi, there has been an open confrontation between the Brotherhood and the military-backed interim leadership. Both claim legitimacy; the Brotherhood claims electoral legitimacy and the interim leadership claims popular legitimacy after the June 30th uprising against Morsi. The outlawing of the Brotherhood is a bold move, albeit a risky one, by the interim government to assert its authority as the representative of the State and people of Egypt against a defiant group that still thinks it has the means and ability to challenge the State.

The attack on security headquarter in the Egyptian city…

The Etonian war-time traitor who got away with high treason

Pride's Purge

 (not satire)

Compare wartime hero Alan Turing’s treatment – who committed suicide after being forcibly castrated for homosexuality – with that of wartime traitor Lord William Forbes-Sempill who spied for the Japanese during the war but escaped prosecution because his father was an aide-de-camp to King George V.

Old Etonian Sempill – who like a lot of the British aristocracy was an anti-semitic, fascist sympathiser – was paid by the Japanese to pass on top secret documents right up until 1941.

Normal plebs would have been shot for lesser acts of wartime treason but Tory peer Sempill was not even sacked, never mind arrested, even after British intelligence discovered his treasonous activities.

Wartime hero Alan Turing on the other hand was convicted for ‘homosexual activity’ barely 6 years after the war ended and was still being refused a ‘pardon’ by the British establishment as recently as 2012
