If You Were Mark Mallory, 2.0
Since blog readers hated our first pretend-you're-the mayor of Cincinnati game last week, it's time to try it again. So, if you were Mark Mallory, this week you'd announce:
1. That you videotaped a welcome message being played at the regional Jack and Jill of America Inc. convention in Cleveland, a welcome encouraging attendees there to come to the group's teen conference scheduled here next year. Jack and Jill is a national organization dedicated to improving the quality of life for children, primarily African-American children. http://www.jack-and-jill.org/.
2. You had a great time Saturday at Kentucky Speedway, dropping - not waving - the flag to start the Busch series race. "I just can't tell you how much fun that was being that close to cars going that fast."
3. You're happy about the kickoff of your summer jobs program. "Summer employment should really just not be an option." You'll continue pushing the next two years for more private businesses to hire more kids.
4. You're meeting with officials of DARE (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) America to try to get the group to have its 2010 conference here.
5. You're going to a cookout today hosted by the mayor of Silverton and tomorrow will cut a ribbon to open a $1.2 million improvement to Columbia Parkway.
6. You'd be getting ready to leave for the U.S. Conference of Mayors meeting in L.A., where you'll join a workshop about preparing for the 2010 Census.

Post a Comment*So for the 2nd week in a row, Mayor Mallory has done absolutely nothing useful.
Jane Pendergast, who the hell are you? You certainly aren't a journalist because your right wing slant is painfully obvious.
Instead of going after our Mayor for, among wearing other hats, being the chief ambassador of the city, why doesn't this right-wing birdcage liner of a newspaper tell us the truth about the connections between Bush and Osama Bin Laden. There is no way the Repugnicants will EVER fight the real enemy, Daddy Bush's Carlyle Group buddy.
While the rest of us could not fly and have been treated as criminals by the TSA for the past 6 years, BIN LADEN's FAMILY gets the red carpet treatment!
Boy, it sure pays to be a business partner of the Bush mafia!

Osama bin Laden may have chartered a plane that carried his family members and Saudi nationals out of the United States after the September 11, 2001 attacks, said FBI documents released Wednesday.
The papers, obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, were made public by Judicial Watch, a Washington-based group that investigates government corruption.
One FBI document referred to a Ryan Air 727 airplane that departed Los Angeles International Airport on September 19, 2001, and was said to have carried Saudi nationals out of the United States.
"The plane was chartered either by the Saudi Arabian royal family or Osama bin Laden," according to the document, which was among 224 pages posted online.
The flight made stops in Orlando, Florida; Washington, DC; and Boston, Massachusetts and eventually left its passengers in Paris the following day.
In all, the documents detail six flights between September 14 and September 24 that evacuated Saudi nationals and bin Laden family members, Judicial Watch said in a statement.
"Incredibly, not a single Saudi national nor any of the bin Laden family members possessed any information of investigative value," Judicial Watch said.
"These documents contain numerous errors and inconsistencies which call to question the thoroughness of the FBI's investigation of the Saudi flights.
"For example, on one document, the FBI claims to have interviewed 20 of 23 passengers on the Ryan International Airlines flight ... on another document the FBI claims to have interviewed 15 to 22 passengers on the same flight."
Asked about the documents' assertion that either bin Laden or the Saudi royals ordered the flight, an FBI spokesman said the information was inaccurate.
"There is no new information here. Osama bin Laden did not charter a flight out of the US," FBI special agent Richard Kolko said.
"This is just an inflammatory headline by Judicial Watch to catch people's attention. This was thoroughly investigated by the FBI."
Kolko pointed to the 9-11 Commission Report, which was the book-length result of an official probe into the attacks on the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon in Washington that killed nearly 3,000 people.
"No political intervention was found. And most important, the FBI conducted a satisfactory screening of Saudi nationals that left on chartered flights. This is all available in the report," Kolko said.
On the issue of flights of Saudi nationals leaving the United States, the 9-11 report said: "We found no evidence of political intervention" to facilitate the departure of Saudi nationals.
The commission also said: "Our own independent review of the Saudi nationals involved confirms that no one with known links to terrorism departed on these flights."
Meredith Diliberto, an attorney with Judicial Watch, said that her group had seen a first version of the documents in 2005, although the FBI had heavily redacted the texts to black out names, including all references to bin Laden.
Nevertheless, unedited footnotes in the texts allowed lawyers to determine that bin Laden's name had been redacted. They pressed the issue in court and in November 2006, the FBI was ordered to re-release the documents.
Diliberto said mention that "either" bin Laden or Saudi royals had chartered the flight "really threw us for a loop."
"When you combine that with some of the family members not being interviewed, we found it very disturbing."
Let me see...the closest thing to being a real Mayor is developing Columbia Tusculum...oh, yeah, the heavy lifting was done before Mallory ever knew there was a Columbia Tusculum.
MAYOR ZERO!
Does he have any idea what an embarrassment he is?
I am not sure what the post about Bin Laden had to do with our mayor. Yes now that I think about it, absolutly nothing. Good waste of space on a blog about the mayor. You think after all of this time you would be tired of a story that is years old. I know this is tough for you but you can try. You post your thoughts about the article. I know tough concept to follow!!!
The truly odd thing is that Mallory must think this shows he is an "action" mayor. Why else would he talk about this silliness?
Is that all that democRAT mayors do? Nothing! Besides have a cookout together.
If I were Mayor Mark Mallory, I would realize I was an outstandingly bad fit for my current job and ask Dems to get me a cushy appointment of some sort in Columbus, so I could hand off the mayor's gig to someone who actually has ideas and vision.
Under no circumstances, of course, would I get a job in the private sector. It's just not done in our family.
It's hard to blame the reporter for this. The Mayor announces these events/appearances at his weekly press conference, and she simply records and describes them.
and, Eqnuirer, you told us our so-called mayor was headed to Las vegas to get new retail for our neighborhoods.
Any prospects?
You covered it twice!
