Anderson Cooper is a self serving asshole

It really bothers me that just about all the attention my favorite city in the world, Cleveland, Ohio gets is negative.  Charles Ramsey, let me tell you that you are a REAL AMERICAN HERO.  You helped find these missing girls.  You actually took initiative to call the authorities in this apathetic world.  You withstood all the questions as to why you didn't notice the situation before if you have lived there for a while.  You parlayed all the attention away from yourself and onto the girls, who are the real story here.  And when Anderson Cooper, that self serving little cunt of a Vanderbilt asked you if you wanted a reward, you responded as such: "I get a paycheck.  Give the reward to the girls they rescued."

What do you want Anderson?  To vilify this seemingly lower class African American who is missing teeth so you can laugh and marvel at how drastically gotdamn different your lifestyles are, one can only imagine.

Cleveland is the crown jewel of Ohio.  It was once the fifth largest city in the United States.  It is a proud city that has endured more crap than any city ought to.  I won't even get into the sports of Cleveland, as there is a lot more in the world than just sports.  You already know the Cleveland fan has suffered through The Drive, The Shot, The Decision....

The only reason that Cleveland doesn't have a massive skyline similar to Chicago or Toronto is because of a bedrock problem.  Cleveland, for its perfect location on the lake, isn't built on very sturdy ground.  The bedrock is about 200 feet down, whereas New York is only about 20.  And for the towers to be erected, they must be supported by the bedrock, which meant digging very deep or figuring out a different way to anchor the buildings, with techniques that weren't available during the 20s and 30s when skyscrapers were blossoming all over the other more fortunate cities.  So for Cleveland to have the tallest skyscraper in Ohio, is a pretty impressive feat.

Cleveland got used and abused by industry hogs...We did the work, and the money got shipped all over the world, primarily New York.  New York has always benefited from Cleveland grit, and what do we get?  Not a damn thing.  Disrespect.  And if you snobby New Yorkers knew the damn truth, you might understand why people like me who love Ohio get so darn upset.

So today, I salute you, Charles Ramsey.  I salute you, Amanda Berry.  I salute all of you who go unrecognised in this great state.  Althought I do not live in Cleveland, (I once lived pretty close, Sagamore Hills, & Akron)

it is and always will be my home.
