JR: Hanoi vs Detroit - (In a June 2013 ToledoTalk.com thread, this is my one and only comment that's rooted in some sarcasm with the hope to inflame the political brawlers.) "Socialism by every definition." Hanoi, Vietnam may be a nicer place to live than Detroit, USA. ... more>> 1 min read

JR: TT thread about "Fast Food workers demanding $15/hr" - Aug 28, 2013 ToledoTalk.com thread. My only thought: It might be fast, but it ain't food. If the strikes disrupt business, the U.S. obesity rate might slow a little. It's an odd time to strike when everywhere in the U.S. now has local produce in... more>>

JR: Old smoking ban post - 2004 - #todo finish editing links, etc. The government will never make tobacco illegal, because they receive too much tax revenue from it, and the states enjoy the tobacco settlement money.

JR: Blade columnist's petty writing skills - (My Apr 6, 2014 comment to a Toledo Talk thread) In Burris's Apr 6, 2014 column, this line that he wrote is hilarious: The Treeces faced mostly open minds.
