Commented in The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald
The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down Of the big lake they called 'gitche gumee' The lake, it is said, never gives up her dead When the skies of November turn gloomy With a load of iron ore twenty-six thousand tons more Than the Edmund Fitzgerald weighed empty That good ship and crew was a bone to be chewed When the gales of November came early The ship was the pride of the American side Coming back from some mill in Wisconsin As the big freighters go, it was bigger than most With a crew and good captain well seasoned Concluding some terms with a couple of steel firms When they left fully loaded for Cleveland And later that night when the ship's bell rang Could it be the north wind they'd been feelin'? The wind in the wires made a tattle-tale sound And a wave broke over the railing And every man knew, as the captain did too, T'was the witch of November come stealin' The dawn came late and the breakfast had to wait When the gales of November came slashin' When afternoon came it was freezin' rain In the face of a hurricane west wind When suppertime came, the old cook came on deck sayin' Fellas, it's too rough to feed ya At seven pm a main hatchway caved in, he said Fellas, it's been good t'know ya The captain wired in he had water comin' in And the good ship and crew was in peril And later that night when his lights went outta sight Came the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald Does any one know where the love of God goes When the waves turn the minutes to hours? The searches all say they'd have made Whitefish Bay If they'd put fifteen more miles behind her They might have split up or they might have capsized They may have broke deep and took water And all that remains is the faces and the names Of the wives and the sons and the daughters Lake Huron rolls, superior sings In the rooms of her ice-water mansion Old Michigan steams like a young man's dreams The islands and bays are for sportsmen And farther below Lake Ontario Takes in what Lake Erie can send her And the iron boats go as the mariners all know With the gales of November remembered In a musty old hall in Detroit they prayed, In the maritime sailors' cathedral The church bell chimed till it rang twenty-nine times For each man on the Edmund Fitzgerald The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down Of the big lake they call 'gitche gumee' Superior, they said, never gives up her dead When the gales of November come early

Commented in German drug company sues to block US execution
Not sure they have standing. It would be like a Ford dealer saying you can't use their vehicle to drive to Cleveland after you acquired it.
Even if you stole it, they don't have a say where you can drive it because they don't like Cleveland.
If the drugs were acquired illegally, that's someone else's concern, not the manufacturers.

Commented in Big tech conferences overlook U.S. for Canada
I once knew a senior tech lead at an American HQ of an Indian telecom firm. I guess Indians and Pakistanis have wars like we have soap operas, but business back then was brisk and things hadn't gotten tense yet, so there were still Pakistani employees working there. My friend was asked by one of them, in passing, how much those New Balances had cost, and made the mistake of saying. One of the things that got the tension building? Apparently, compared to what that Pakistani employee made in a month, the shoes were an extravagant luxury item. So it burns every which way.

Commented in Ex-Cardinals Pitcher Anthony Reyes fighting California wildfire
Anthony Reyes was a member of the St. Louis Cardinals
Huh, I guess he decided to retire
From 2005 to 2008 and then pitched two seasons for the Cleveland Indians.
I didn't realize it's been almost 10 years since he played. I blame the fact that the Cardinals have had another prospect named A. Reyes recently.

Commented in Britain Has Never Faced Up to the Shame of Empire
Never mind that approximately 35 million Indians died because of famines caused by British misrule, or that Winston Churchill blamed one of these famines on the "beastly" Indians for "breeding like rabbits".
They wanted everything to be done for them! Lazy beasts.

Commented in Cleveland officer involved in Tamir Rice shooting terminated; Other officer suspended
Williams said the hiring process for the Cleveland Division of Police changed in 2015, partially because of the Rice shooting. It is now policy to review past personnel files for anyone applying.
This is so wrong. Is this what it takes from them to check backgrounds of police applicants?

Commented in Sex-shop employees fight off armed robber by throwing dildos at him
I got into a dildo fight once.
My one and only time visiting Cleveland. Went to a massive bar in the basement of a Walmart or something. Called the Mine Shaft where you had to slide down a tube to get in. Drinks were so cheap.
After last call we went across the road into a sex shop. They had huge bins of discount dildos throughout. 2 of the people we were with went into a sex movie booth at the back and we assumed they were getting it on so some of us started lobbing dildos into the booth which had an open top. Probably got about 50 into that booth and 50 more into adjoining booths and they soon started to be thrown back out at us. It soon became a full out, full store dildo battle.

Commented in Ontario judge could decide whether Cleveland logo can be used in Toronto
Whereas the real heroes wear redface and warbonnets and pay those kind of prices for beer? Correct me if I'm wrong, but you don't actually play the game for the Cleveland Indians, do you? You pay, is that right? To delight in the so-prestigious brand we know as Chief Wahoo?
Tell me, who are you to shit on the man who just built the new National Museum of the American Indian in D.C. and the Canadian Museum of History, huh Champ?

Commented in Ontario judge could decide whether Cleveland logo can be used in Toronto
You don't get to decide if it's offensive. It's deeply offensive. Honestly, I think you'd be surprised how many people can see right off it's clearly bigotry.
You can decide that's the example you want to set. For your kids. For your town. To the world. You have. That example was clearly set for you.
Now, you can say "that's just the way it is." That's been said about plenty of bigoted forms of oppression. Every once in a while though, people — even people who came up from within a system like that — realize they could do better. It's even happened within baseball before.
There will be a time when everyone recognizes Chief Wahoo is a repugnant vestige of an ugly, and proud, institution of white supremacy. You and Cleveland Indians fans like you, who think you're not racist despite your loyalty to your own particular brand of white supremacy, may wonder why it was ever so impirtant to you.
Me and, as you say, the few people that agree with me, will try not to judge you too harshly. You're just backward. It's all you know, yet.

Commented in Ontario judge could decide whether Cleveland logo can be used in Toronto
Really? You think the only thing standing between people "on the rez" and prosperity is the name of a sports franchise? If tomorrow they changed the name to the Cleveland Buckeyes, what exactly is it you think changes? Let's say all the teams with Native American names and mascots decide to change, exactly what difference do you think that's gonna make "on the rez"? Rampant unemployment, crippling poverty, a failed education system, and a skyrocketing suicide rate, but you're right, we should totally worry about what Cleveland calls its baseball team because that'll make all the difference.

Commented in Ontario judge could decide whether Cleveland logo can be used in Toronto
Or you are. What's the story: you figure the Cleveland Indians "already got away with it?" That grotesque bigotry appreciates with age? That if every Indians fan is guilty then nobody's guilty? Myself, I can't begin to imagine how Indians fans think it's up to them to decide whether it's offensive. Then again, there's lots I don't get. Like how Jeep sells Cherokees and none of that goes to the Cherokee. Or how Urban Outfitters got away with selling things as Navajo for years that had nothing whatsoever to do with anything Navajo. Chief Wahoo, on the other hand, is patently offensive right on the very face of it. Prima facie.

Commented in Ontario judge could decide whether Cleveland logo can be used in Toronto
People on the rez don't give a shit about your standings. A history of genocide, white supremacy and structural racism of the kind embodied by the "Cleveland Indians" has more relevance. To injuns, and frankly to the world.

Commented in Ontario judge could decide whether Cleveland logo can be used in Toronto
This is what this Indian does all the time. He may not even be into sports. I believe he did this now to get the most publicity and he got it ,especially in Cleveland. I do not agree with his reasoning for doing it now,but i am now seeing why he chose to do it now.

Commented in Ontario judge could decide whether Cleveland logo can be used in Toronto
So then where was your "pissed off injun" when the Indians were there in July? Where was he for the roughly 120 other times the Indians have come to Toronto to play the Blue Jays? Cleveland has had the same name for over 100 years. The Chief Wahoo logo has been associated with the team for over 80 years. Yet you're telling us that it's only now, in the middle of the ALCS, that this guy suddenly felt the need to do anything? If the Blue Jays were winning 2 - 0 instead of losing, then I seriously doubt that we'd being hearing about any legal opposition to the team's name.

Commented in Ontario judge could decide whether Cleveland logo can be used in Toronto
More like this is a pissed off injun, like a lot of pissed off injuns, who sued during the playoffs to bring attention to a business built around a crude, racist caricature. Cleveland fans not being able to see that societal context beyond box scores is a sign bigoted mascots like the Cleveland ‘Indians’’ are toxic for everyone.

Commented in Ontario judge could decide whether Cleveland logo can be used in Toronto
Because Toronto is down 2 - 0 in the ALCS. The Indians were in Toronto for a four-game series back in the beginning of July and no one complained then, just like I'm fairly certain no one will complain next May when the Indians go back to Toronto. This is a pissed off Jays fan who's complaining because his team is getting owned in the playoffs, nothing more.

The Cleveland Indians'have had 69 years to change their patently-offensive, wildly bigoted logo, so who's running late now?

Commented in Hyperloop One was just hit with an explosive lawsuit from its co-founder
I hate to be racist, but my dealings with dot-not-feather Indians is that they are crooks. I have not had one satisfactory dealing with a dot-not-feather Indian. Not a single one. They have absolutely destroyed the hotel industry in America with all of their cheap crap. And they are creepy, rapey people. Sorry, I know how that sounds, but it's my personal experience, I wish I could report it differently. Maybe if they changed their culture decent people would think more highly of them?
