Cleveland Strip Clubs: Is gambling an ‘option’?
Or as the anti-casino TruthPAC says: “What about cash that’s not exchanged for anything: simply fed into a gambling device as bills or coins?”
Meanwhile, this of course is a state wherein voters have rejected such gambling four times the past 20 years.
All of which is not to be confused with any MegaMillion Lottery. And no jokes about the Lottery expanding its slots to gates at Cleveland Browns games or to doors at a Cleveland Museum of Art exhibition.
Hey, Cleveland’s already got all those sin taxes on cigarettes to help pay for sports and the arts.
And the state budget sure could count on more of that booze and tobacco revenue.
All of which isn’t to be confused with that state law on how close or unattired a dancer can get at all those also-taxed strip clubs.

His no-show came simultaneously as news was made public Jackson no longer wanted to play for Golden State. The two likely weren’t just a coincidence.
The NBA stated only that Jackson wouldn’t be present at the Protégé event but didn’t give a reason. There might have been a legitimate excuse, but if there was, no one was giving it.
Jackson isn’t a stranger to alleged tomfoolery. He’s one of the more underrated talents in the NBA but also one of its more confounding. It was Jackson who followed Ron Artest into the stands during the infamous MMA brawl in Detroit.
Jackson was once charged with felony criminal recklessness and misdemeanor counts of battery and disorderly conduct in a fight outside an Indianapolis night club when Jackson was a member of the Indiana Pacers. (Mom always said nothing good happens outside of a strip club after midnight.)
Cleveland Strip Clubs: Blind Items!
1) “Which well-liked pro golfer once switched sponsors because he needed several million dollars in hush money? Seems he knocked up a stripper while playing at the Firestone Country Club in Akron, Ohio, and had to pay her off to keep their love child a secret.” [New York Post]
2) “This Academy Award winner/nominee actress who does a mix of television and movies has a best friend who recently got married. Her friend is a special education teacher for a school which does not pay their employees very much. The friend married a man who is also a teacher at the school. The original plan was for the couple to just get married at their home and have a very tiny reception and not even a honeymoon as they are trying to save whatever dollars they earn for a home. Well, our actress gave them and paid for the wedding of a lifetime as well as a reception, the honeymoon and even gave them $50K towards their house.” [Blind Gossip]

Cleveland Strip Clubs: Family Guy Flashback: "Fore Father" R…
Of course the reason why Peter and Chris grow apart in the first place is hilarious. During their camping trip, Chris is left in charge to guard their food supplies while the others go fishing. Raccoons unfortunately steal all the food, providing Chris with some great art material, but the dimmer of the Griffin sons fails to do anything to stop the raccoons. This leads to Peter deciding that he wasn’t a good father to Chris and tries to get one of his buddies to become Chris’ new father. The sequence with the deer volunteering but getting shot soon after is quite hilarious.
Watching the highly impressionable Chris turn to Quagmire for advice was fantastic. We get to witness some of Quagmire’s funniest sleazy moments including a shoe sniffing scene and a side-splittingly hilarious moment where he tries to swipe his bank card down a stripper’s backside thinking that somehow might work.

Cleveland Strip Clubs: North Ridgeville businessman pleads g…
Gorsuch, 58 is one of two Lorain County businessmen charged in connection with the case. The other local businessman, Mark O’Donnell, who owns North Shore Door Co. in Elyria, has pleaded not guilty to bribery and is scheduled to be in court again Sept. 2.
Gorsuch, O’Donnell and the other seven ODOT vendors and employees charged so far in the case are all cooperating with investigators.
Ohio Inspector General Tom Charles’ report on the investigation, released in November, began after a former North Shore Door employee sent an anonymous e-mail to state officials.
Charles’ investigation turned up a wide-spread problem of contract-steering and bribery that ranged from boat trips for ODOT vendors with ODOT officials and Cleveland strippers. As many as 31 people are expected to be charged in the case, including Dennis Kratochvil, the district’s facilities manager, and Terrence Kosmata, the district’s equipment manger.

Simon believes contraceptives on the streets and lawns are evidence of prostitution. That type of crime has not been typical for the neighborhood, which more often sees home break ins, car thefts and other property-related crimes, Simon said.
William Proffitt, a police spokesman, said the department has not received complaints about prostitution there. Police have not noticed a problem with prostitution along Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Street between Ninth and 22nd avenues N, which border the neighborhood.
Typically, street prostitutes work main drags such as U.S. 19 and Fourth Street, police say. In those areas, it is not uncommon for sex workers to spill into residential areas after picking up johns.

Frank said he disagreed with the notion that prostitution is a “victimless crime,” since it can attract other criminal elements, such as drug use.

Cleveland Adult Entertainment: Ohio Casino Bill Brings Questions of …
… If the amendment passes, we believe that a court might find that those charitable games of chance that are currently legal might be determined to be illegal,” said Ted Hart, a spokesman for the attorney general.
But attorney Donald McTigue, representing the Ohio Jobs and Growth group that led the casino initiative, thinks otherwise.
“It has zero effect on any gambling that is currently allowed in Ohio,” McTigue said.
The measure specifically exempts bingo and horse racing from the prohibition, but does not mention roulette, craps, and blackjack, games frequently used at “casino night” events by churches and charities.
Church groups have been violently in opposition to casino gambling as an immoral activity that harms families and decays character. They are even more incensed that they might lose their rights to use casino gambling for their own purposes. One observer wondered if this means prostitution nights will soon be featured at fundraisers for Ohio churches.
Cleveland Escorts: Brett Favre Signs With Minnesota Viki…
Too late! The son of a bitch decided to retire twice and un-retire within in one year. If there is anyone who should get out of the game now it is Favre. Did he really even watch his performance at the end of the season? He is the sole reason why the Jets missed the playoffs after a powerful start. How is he going to help the Vikings, who don’t have much on the roster he can throw the ball too.

Listen, I loved what he did with the Dallas Cowboys, but there aren’t many more annoying people in the NFL than Neon Deion. Who can stand his interviews? His attire? What is he a damn pimp? All he needs is more gold hanging off him and he’s a pimp. He’s never come close to un-retiring, and that’s a good thing. He wouldn’t want to ruin his pretty face.

Though the possibility of Favre joining the Vikings didn’t move many tickets when the single-game seats went on sale in July, the reality has caused a rush on the box office.
By Tuesday afternoon, the Vikings sold 2,000 season tickets, according to the St. Paul Pioneer Press. Also, fans gobbled up 6,000 single-game tickets.
That said, seats reportedly remained available for each home game, as of early Tuesday evening.
And the arrival of Favre has caused the Vikings to pull some potential bargains off the table. Per Darren Rovell of CNBC, a half-season ticket deal was available early Tuesday. By the time Favre joined the team, that option was long gone.
Meanwhile, the Vikings are pimping plenty of Favre gear. The Favre shot glass is our own favorite, given the prevalance of DUI charges filed over the years against Vikings players.
