What the Hell is Wrong with Robin Svoboda?
Arguably the Best Broadcast Team in Cleveland History Other than Dorothy Fuldheim , there may not have been a more popular, or respected, female broadcaster in Cleveland Television History than Robin Svoboda. But since her heyday in the 1980's on Channel 8, Svoboda has been on every news channel in Northeast Ohio. Now everyone has their own angles and reasons for their own career path, but Svoboda seemed to have tired of the limiting news format itself, which is fine. But o

Deafness vs. Insanity
For longtime readers, you are already aware that I went almost completely deaf earlier this year and can now only hear thanks to a double cochlear implant. But it still kind of nags at me why I'm deaf. Beacon of Speech co-founder Ted and I speak of Rush Limbaugh's hearing loss often. Ted says "technically Rush didn't know why he went deaf, either." And I always reply, "oh he knew, he sued people so you wouldn't find out." Now I can't prove it in a court of law, but coincident

I Know What I Saw... A Bunch of Idiots
This little meme is catching fire with all of my Liberal Friends. You know what I see, as head of a Libertarian-leaning website? How do I figure? In the Top Picture, a bunch of unemployed Americans threw a temper tantrum that the Presidential Candidate that they wanted to win, didn't. Ashley Babbitt died. There was no insurrection. In the Bottom Picture, a bunch of unemployed Americans threw a temper tantrum because they didn't like ICE. They impeded the agency in the street

The Story of Magdalene
Editor's Note: For those queasy when it comes to light blasphemy, you may want to pass on this one. The headlines of nearly every publication in America screamed their angles on the shooting of Renee Nicole Good. Surprisingly, we are fairly neutral on the situation. If you're ICE, you can't go around shooting American Citizens. But I'll tell you what, I watched that stupid shooting from every angle released to the public and Ms. Good looks like she got what she deserved . W

I Am My Own AI Program
Every time I write a popular article, my AI Editor says "now write another article, just like that." Then, when I write an unpopular article, my AI Editor says "let's explore other article options." Listen, I don't need an AI Editor on the Blog Overview Home Page, I don't use it. I can do bad all by myself. With that being said, these were our most popular articles of 2025. Were they our best articles? No, popularity is measured by clicks (in parenthesis) in AI Land. (2330)

Venezuela: WE SHOULD NOT HAVE DONE THIS
On Wednesday January 6, 2021 , in live time, we declared that misguided supporters of Donald Trump were throwing a giant sized temper tantrum. CNN and the Left Wing media crowed that there was an insurrection . I was clear then, as I am clear now, that there was no insurrection. Insurrections involve tanks and helicopters, it involves generals and soldiers, it involves politicians being dragged from their beds and being led away in handcuffs. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez swears,

How Rutgers Saved the Big 10
Yeah, you read that right. Back in the 1980's, athletic conferences in college seemed static. They were what they were, more or less. But in 1990, Penn State joined the Big 10 conference, and, slowly but surely, conferences began to evolve, they began to shrink and grow, and by the 2020's, started to cannibalize each other. They became their own living and breathing entities. How absurd does the Big 10 logo above look in hindsight? In 1990, though, the SEC was clearly the bes

In Defense of Sherrone Moore
Full Disclosure: I am a big OSU Fan. Both my Grandfather and Uncle graduated from Ohio State, I only graduated from Cleveland State. Back in 2022, Boston Celtics Coach Ime Udoka was suspended for a year for having an extra-marital affair with a Celtics Employee. I was stunned. No coach gets suspended for a year by his own team. Organizations either fire the coach, or stand behind the coach. I believe that the Celtics purposely embarrassed Udoka in the public domain so he woul

Randomly Quizzing Sabrina Eaton
Last month, cleveland.com 's Sabrina Eaton rolled out of bed and proclaimed JD Vance can't be president in 2028 because, on a pop quiz, he could only name 2 out of 8 presidents that were from Ohio. Now I'm not in the business of defending JD Vance, but as you get older, pop quizzes become harder. You're at work and someone questions you about information you learning in 4th grade, that's not always an easy pull. But then cleveland.com ' s editor Chris Quinn defended Vance i
