We're Number 1!
At last, Cleveland is the national champion. Sadly, it's for being the poorest big city in the U.S. ...for the second time in three years.
The picture below, by Joshua Gunter of The Plain Dealer depicts a mural at the West Side Catholic Center of people eating a free meal there. By the way, that's Jesus portrayed in the mural, not Peter Frampton.
It's heartbreaking. What can we do about it? Regina Brett has some interesting ideas in her article "Poverty fight needs to get real". Check it out; it is stirring.

Cleveland may be poor but at least they have the Browns back.

Our state reps need to get off their asses and fight tooth and nail for good jobs. Our federal government needs to spend more on science, specifically fuel alternatives that will create jobs for mass-manufacturing and bring those jobs here.
Of course, I'm not saying anything new here, am I?!
