Today is the day to take action regarding House Bill 3, which I blogged about earlier.
Delaware folks please call AND email Senator Harris’ office and ask him not to support this Bill:
Senator Bill Harris (Senate President)
Telephone: 614-466-8086
Email: SD19@mailr.sen.state.oh.us
Others, please find your senator here and do the same.
So, just how bad is this bill? […]

I glossed over a point in my Schmidt newsletter polemic. It has to do with numbers. Many are now using and backing those numbers up and I feel it’s worth responding to.
Jean says:
Did you know that more than 80,000 terrorists are no longer a threat to the world?
No, Jean. We […]

I did not get to join a group outing to see Syriana this weekend, but did get to see it while on a date with my wife on Saturday. I have to say that I was a tad bit disappointed.
The first criticism that I have is the pace with which the movie moves and […]

{Parental Advisory - If you don’t want to hear me fucking cursing, please leave now…whoops}
The lady just won’t leave well enough alone. She’s already so marginalized that even those in her own party treat her like the third rail. Yet like the Energizer Bunny, her parroting ass just keeps on comin’! She’s […]

From The Desk of Paul Hackett…well, it wasn’t what I expected, but I finally saw evidence from the Hackett campaign that they did indeed get my “Blog For Real Reform” registration. It is a solid anti-Dewine message along with a fundraising plea. Building on the Murtha momentum, Paul’s letter is a call Dem […]

Cillizza moves Ohio’s Senate seat up to #3 on the most likely to change hands:
3. Ohio — Republican Mike DeWine: The Fix was surprised to hear National Republican Senatorial Committee spokesman Brian Nick name Ohio as one of his party’s two most vulnerable seats — along with Pennsylvania — at a recent campaign briefing. Republicans […]

Jennifer Brunner wants our support in opposing House Bill 3. I don’t know. Two sides of me are fighting each other over this one. The childish side of me is saying: “Hey! Isn’t this one of the Dems who would NOT get behind Reform Ohio Now fully?”. Which makes […]

Sherrod Brown took a few minutes to talk with me tonight. A few readers emailed me with questions and those were asked as well as some on my mind. It was a good talk and I appreciate Sherrod taking the time.

OK, this just cracked me up. Maybe you’ve seen it. We talked about it at our last DL meeting and I just got an email (thanks Jenny!) on it showing the tag. The tag is on bag products made by Tom Bihn, a Seattle based maker of specialty bags.

The text […]

Bush gave yet another speech on Iraq today. This one using Pearl Harbor as a backdrop (today is the 64th anniversary of the day that would live in infamy). Basically the same speech, but notice in the beginning how used to invoking September 11th he is. He almost can’t say December 7th. […]

Just signed up for CNN Pipeline. As if I needed another reason to be tethered to my laptop. Do I even NEED a TV anymore? Ah, sports…that’s right. I’ll toss ‘em soon after ESPN Pipeline is launched.
It’s kind of interesting (and kind of pointless at the same time) to […]

This is good visibility for the Brown campaign. Brown will have to talk more and more Iraq as time goes on in the primary. Focus group tested? You be the judge:

After all the discussion yesterday about the MyDD interview with Brown and their as yet unwillingness to do Meet The Bloggers, I decided to follow up on an email I received from the Brown Campaign Internet Communications Director.
Philip de Vellis had sent me an email just before Thanksgiving letting me know that they […]

From the Akron Beacon Journal:
The words “What primary?” never came out of U.S. Rep. Sherrod Brown’s mouth on Monday, but the message was the same.
Brown also kept up the flip flopper argument on Hackett:
The only time Brown mentioned his opponent in the May 2 Democratic Primary — Iraq War veteran and Cincinnati attorney Paul Hackett […]

How do you neutralize the Ohio blogosphere? How about ignoring it. Tim at BuckeyPolitics.net has a post about yet another Brown campaign miscue as it relates to blogs.
Seems they’ve given an interview to some Jerome Armstrong (da blog fatha!) protege, while still leaving the crickets chirping over at Meet The Bloggers. […]
