  • FROM MY DAD…

    Have Coffee Will Write

    I could never bring myself to forward all the email jokes, cartoons and other Internet comedy that land in my inbox. But then I started posting the ones my dad sends me. Judging from my comments and emails, my dad has become one of my greatest blogging assets. So for [...]

  • Jimmy Dimora’s confusion

    Brewed Fresh Daily

    The recent press conference by Jimmy Dimora underscores a confusion that is running through his mind.

    Dimora brought forth no evidence that anyone is interfering with his legal rights as a prospective defendant. We can assume he was referring these rights when he spoke the rights “our forefathers fought for”.

    At [...]

    "But you don't have to take my word for it..."

    One of the news angles I promised Anthony I'd cover as a way to grab some of this prime blog real estate is the United States Supreme Court. I'd been worried all day that the GOP wouldn't provide me with an [...]

  • Father of the Year

    The Original Musings

    Hell, he may be “father of the millennium”

    At least among those fathers who didn’t kill or beat their children.  You probably remember hearing about this guy:

    Gary Staton, 37, became a single father in February 2007 when his wife, RebelJane, died of a cerebral aneurysm shortly after giving birth to [...]

  • SYTYCD Predictions

    The Original Musings

    I don’t want to choose which two are going home!

    I want them all to stay!

    For what I believe was the first time ever, there was not one single routine I did not like last night.  We’re down to seven couples and obviously that means nearly half of them are going [...]

  • The Gov's Gambling Crapshoot

    Buckeye Punditeers



    They say that politics makes strange bedfellows. In Ohio, it's increasingly looking like economics makes dysfunctional marriages.

    Gov. Ted Strickland (yep, that one...the Methodist minister) is standing behind a plan to place slot machines at all Ohio horse racing venues as a way to [...]

  • On slots at horsetracks

    Buckeye State Blog

    Given that Keno has failed to deliver the promised revenues, I cannot say I really blame the Republican Senate President from wanting to hold hearings testing the feasibility of slot machines at horse tracks in order to generate revenue.  Is it political grandstanding?  Sure, but maybe somebody should be asking [...]

    Thurber's Thoughts

    More quotes as we prepare to celebrate our nation's birth:Outside Independence Hall when the Constitutional Convention of 1787 ended, Mrs. Powel of Philadelphia asked Benjamin Franklin, "Well, Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?" With no hesitation whatsoever, Franklin responded, "A republic, if you can keep it."' [...]

    That's what's left of Ohio's legacy of fiscal discipline.

    From today's Gongwer:
    The metaphorical storm clouds officially burst in Ohio on the last day of fiscal year 2009, when Gov. Ted Strickland's administration tapped out the bulk of the $1 billion-plus "rainy day" Budget Stabilization Fund - while opting [...]

    The Nookular Option

    From today's N.Y. Times:

    "All his life, Robert Bowman wanted to be a lawyer. He overcame a troubled childhood, a tragic accident that nearly cost him a leg and a debilitating Jet Ski collision.

    He put himself through community college, worked and borrowed heavily to help pay for" [...]

  • Is America Exceptional?

    taxmanblog

    Now that we're heading towards the 4th of July, a question. Is America exceptional?

    American exceptionalism is grounded in the founding of the United States upon an idea, rather than upon the ambitions of men. Indeed, it was designed to be a nation of laws and specifically not of' [...]

    Stubborn Liberal

    * It might be a generational thing, but I've had enough of the media coverage of the passing of Michael Jackson. As a faithful viewer of the Today Show, I've had to change the channel because of their overabundance of coverage of his death, his family, etc., etc., etc. Enough [...]

  • Will police concessions be enough?

    Thurber's Thoughts

    The City of Toledo and the Toledo Police Patrolman's Association have reached a tentative contract and the TPPA has voted to approve it. Toledo City Council will vote today.There were concessions by the union - many were not insignificant. They include no pay increases in 2009 and 2010, but a [...]

  • Senator, meet hypocrisy

    taxmanblog

    You know how senators have come down hard on Bernie Madoff while they run a Ponzi scheme 100 times the size of Bernie's?

    You know? Those senators who bashed corporate executives for taking private planes while their businesses were losing money?

    Yeah, those senators, who have no problem' [...]
