Your Career Here
Is it possible? Can you be the best in your field and still live on the North Coast, and not one of the other two? This is one of the provocative questions that Cool Cleveland writer Alex Sukhoy poses this week. Her other piece is a very useful how-to for getting your existing career into high gear. We know that people today look for a place to live first, then find a job. So don’t get so worked up about your career that you don’t take time to check out the cool stuff dropping this week: MOCA from 8501 to 11400, nightOUT for the LGBT community, cash mob in Old Brooklyn, Pajama Party Puppet Show for kids. Plus, I just may be sitting in with the Lakewood Project. Your career, your life: we have it all right here. –Thomas Mulready

The other day, I was having an impromptu afternoon conversation with a close friend, also a writer. We are very supportive of each other’s craft and sometimes share ideas so that we can both grow and advance within our chosen profession.
At one point, my friend said, “If you want to make it big, you have to get out of this town.”
Ever the optimist, I at first resisted his words, full of intention and strength… Read more from Alex Sukhoy here

When Les Roberts writes a novel, the neighborhoods, attitudes and history of the city become so entwined with the plot that to separate them, the book would not be the same. Roberts’ stories are often a study of how the place where a person grows up influences who that person becomes. The characters come alive and are believable and microcosmic even when they’re murderers and Mafia leaders… Read Claudia Taller’s review here
The recently emerged video of four United States Marines urinating on the bodies of three dead Taliban insurgents in Afghanistan sparked worldwide opprobrium… as well it should. However, at home the level of outrage over such incidents is often muted…

Prediction: Another Electoral Landslide for Obama During the past three years, the real median US income has declined 10% in the last three years. The cost of everything is going up. Gasoline is double. “It’s the economy, stupid.”…
Read the comment from IndyCA35 here
I wish that people who so glibly call Obama a “socialist” would specify what they mean by this overused, highly elastic term. By my definition, one who advocates “socialism” is in favor of state nationalization of production, distribution and exchange. This is hardly true of Obama…

MANSFIELD: “Testalying” As you no doubt know from your own TV talking head stint a few years ago, Mansfield, local TV “news” isn’t at all about news or the community’s need for enlightenment on the issues. It’s merely about who can be louder and more manipulative on the race to the bottom…
