Down in Akron, they’re finally done chewing through potential jurors in the Jimmy Dimora trial; 12 supposedly diligent and upstanding members of the community have been seated to hear the case. Testimony is expected to begin this week. The court will digest the prosecution’s considerable accusations against the former Cuyahoga County commissioner, who’s reign allegedly included kickbacks, patronage, and sleazy hooker-sex. On defense, the Plain Dealer reports this morning Dimora’s lawyers will likely try and pass off the free tiki huts and trips as the boon of Jimmy’s friendship with contractors and others, not as wink-wink-nudge-nudge for county work. What the jurors won’t hear? A number of select phrases Judge Sara Lioi has forbidden both sides from uttering in order to maintain impartiality. You might be surprised about what’s on the list . . .

What about: democrat, wop, fat, moocher, pig, disgusting, useless, and future girlfriend to Brutus in cell block 3A?
When Jimmy, Frank and company embarrassed the entire county and the democratic party, they did not realize just how many people they were harming and convincing guys like kenrmer to hate more. When a minority group gives ammunition for others to hate people because of religion, race or political parties, we perpetuate in our society the very enemy of us all. The Italian American is as the Arab American or the African American or the German American or the Chineese America or the….on on on through the total list of every type of people on the face of this earth which makes up the young and great United States of America. Rather than see this as the huge strength which it is we choose rather to use it as a reason to separate one from another. If Unity is Love, than separation must be fear, and therefore an illusion.
We all have our history based in rape, murder and theft. This is what has been the perceived needs of society and mankind throughout our very short history. The Universe is eternal, yet mankind goes back only 50,000 years or so. And who cares how far this last little bleep on the radar of the universe went be it millions or billions of years and light years, as nothing but the here and now matters.
Will we continue to pick up rather than put down our swords sometime soon? Will we be able to hear those around the world who thirst for safe drinking water which we take for granted? Will we continue to blame our Italian brothers and sisters for the crimes of a few? Will we continue to punish our Arab brothers and sisters for the work of a dozen or so terrorists? Will we learn to forgive?
2012 AD is how we measure time. Many do not give the credit to reason for this which is due. The entire world essentially accepts the idea of current dating to be after the death of Jesus Christ. The reason this has so much significance is simple: His last wishes were for God to Forgive Them (US) for they no not what they do. Quite clear and with much drama and pain, yet it is not the pain and suffering which was the main message. It was forgiveness.
We can continue to believe that the biggest things in the world are that Jimmy gets his punishment and that we call him and the Italian people of Cleveland names along with the over-weight and the democratic party. kenremer and company may want to add Catolics to the list..they are used to being called names for the behavior of their dysfunctional dogma and manufactured culture. Catholic dogma is just about 180 degrees from Christianity from a forgiveness standpoint. Guilt and greed and power is the history of the Catholic Church and they are not alone. Or how about the Jews or the Muslims? Can we get them any more riled up than they are? They all seem crazy bobbing and doing other funny stuff at the wall. Now even the Amish are loosing their composure and cutting hair forcefully and treating animals like crap. We have become a bitter and repulsive society and don’t tell me to love it or leave it. I am the son of a second world war paratrooper and veteran myself. Like the slaves, we have been fighting the wars and doing the dirty work for hundreds of years.
In Cleveland we have The City Club where things can be brought to truth in a civil and reasonable manner. Debate all things with fairness and freedom and you will be surprised what you learn. Forgive first, then understand.
Kenny, If your a corrupt fat fuck Dago Wop that any self respecting $10.00 Lorain Ave. whore wouldn’t fuck or give a blow job to, then you deserve every and any derogatory remark directed towards you.
God does not figure into any of this. Mr. Piggy Piggy did this all to himself and I sincerely hope and pray (guess God DID get into this) Jimmy the Pig gets a cellmate with a 18 inch dick he wants Piggy Piggy to service 24/7.
SQUEAL LIKE A PIG Jimmy !
I give the Oinker only a few days before all his teeth are knocked out so he cannot bite when he is sucking and swallowing along with taking it up the ass instead of all the idiots that sucked up to him in his decades of debauchery.
If you love him sooo fucking much, send him some BBQ pork ribs. He eats anything .
