Russell gets a nice mention in this article (sorry, might have to sit through a damned Visa ad - Bugmenot no seem to worky):
“It looked like Jerome and Markos were using their big-box blogs to steamroll into Ohio,” said Russell Hughlock, aka Pounder, an electrical engineer who runs the BuckeyeStateBlog. “A lot of people left […]

Get home from some appointments and what am I greeted by? More ODP State Dinner flap. Ann Fisher reports, both Russell and Tim blog about it.
Russell is absolutely correct in his point about Brian likening us to newspaper reporters. In my conversation with him, he appeared to be using any […]

from ContraCostaTimes:
WASHINGTON - An Ohio Republican at the center of two corruption investigations is the only member of his party’s congressional delegation kept off an invitation to a Washington fundraiser next month.
Rep. Bob Ney was not asked to lend his name to a June 7 fundraiser for Lorain Mayor Craig Foltin, the GOP’s hope to […]

Memorial Day Parade. Pryce supporters show up. Kilroy supporters show up. We learn about the word juxtapose.
jux·ta·pose (j?k’st?-p?z’) pronunciation
tr.v., -posed, -pos·ing, -pos·es.
To place side by side, especially for comparison or contrast.
OK, so let’s begin. We have to have a subject A and a subject B in order to juxtapose. Subject […]

The Shamansky camp blasts Tiberi for his uninformed and dismissive retort to Bob’s Memorial Day comments regarding bringing troops home from Iraq and out of the failed war. Senior advisor Dale Butland:
“Like President Bush - for whose policies he continues to be a rubber-stamp - Mr. Tiberi assures us that “progress” is being made […]

The New York Times is reporting that more troops will be sent into Iraq via Kuwait:
WASHINGTON, May 29 — The top American commander in Iraq has decided to move reserve troops now deployed in Kuwait into the volatile Anbar Province in western Iraq to help quell a rise in insurgent attacks there, two American officials […]

I’m looking forward to attending this event: Bloggapalooza 2006
Meet the Bloggers is hosting a gathering of food, music, and good times aimed at helping reduce the transcript deficit.
Music will be provided by six bands playing outside the venue where the street will be barricaded. Inside, grab a table, order a meal and a drink.
Certain […]

Funny I was just speaking of Pat Tiberi’s Bush prostrations. A reader emailed me the following graphics. Such creative readers!

Oh, yeah, and Pryce too!

They obeyed…and what did it get us? They are such good deck chair re-arrangers though!
Update: It occurs to me that these would make great posters for protests or […]

The Dispatch online (Ohio Elects) picks up on Bob’s Memorial Day presser. The most interesting thing on the page, though is a little box highlighting the “Debate of the Day”. In it, they quote Shamansky as saying:
“If I am elected to Congress, I will vote to end the war in Iraq and to […]

So audioblog (now hipcast) is not currently working with my nicely upgraded Wordpress 2.02 blog, but EVDO is in full effect. Right now I’m posting via high speed Verizon Wireless EVDO. I’m not connected via WiFi (though I could be), nor am I connected via Cat5 cable (though I could be). I’m […]

(via email) I hear the news conference went well and this should get some pretty good coverage. Gotta get my reserved Shamansky shirt! I get more and more excited about this guy.
Candidate is Joined by Military Families at Bexley War Memorial
Columbus: Former Congressman Bob Shamansky, candidate for The United State’s […]

Well, folks. I’m back! I’d have to characterize the past two weeks as brutal. First an attempt to upgrade Wordpress leaves me with an unworkable website. One I couldn’t even figure out how to add a post that says “Hey, site is fucked…workin’ on it!”. Thanks to Tim for doing […]

Russell hits the nail on the head:
When one religion pushes and pushes and pushes, eventually people of faith who disagree push back.
This whole piece at Openers is worth the read…and the listen to the accompanying audio.
I’ve been asking for this for some time and I hope to see candidates utilize the momentum and eneryg begun […]

Good stuff from Russell on this event.
The most striking thing about the event was the energy level in the room. We are talking about a mid week event on a rainy evening in May just after a primary election and it felt like early October. Not only were the activists and attendees fired […]

Well, it seems something in Wordpress/Audioblog is screwed up again and I can’t get audio or video up. Too bad too as there is just a plethora of stuff i want you to see right about now. Going to try an upgrade of Wordpress and get things working again. Damned xmlrpc! […]
