It’s not often you get to meet your childhood hero. In fact, it is usually never. You dream about the day alot while swinging from a tire hanging from a tree on your grandparents farm in a sleepy little river town in Kentucky. Or at least I did. There is how […]

OK, OK, I picked a really horrible time to go no politics. I’m sure most of you figured no way the kid would make it. You were right. I will, hoever, inject the stories in amongst the politics and maybe some time in the dead of 2007 we can try this again. […]

Update: Huffington Post takes it viral!

“What to do when you haven’t quite found your place in this world?� I thought. What to do now. It was like asking myself the classic Zen koan “What is the sound of one hand clapping?”. Answering the question is not the point. There really is no answer. Feeling the […]

Here is the deal. If you missed this event, you missed what could be the best time you would have had all year. Shit you not. When I arrived it was raining. We drove up after dropping my girls off at their GPs and headed to the Glidden House (the only […]

OK, made it up to the big event. The rain has dampened the pavement, but not the spirit here. I’m on my third Shiner Bock and just finished listening to RTR. WOW. Wicked ass solos and great Hendrix covers and some originals. Another band setting up and more Shiners on […]

Gotta tag that Free Times Chatter for more readin’ pleasure. How the hell did I miss this?
GEEK FIGHT CLUB
Free Times recently outted Matt Naugle, Ken Blackwell’s official blogger, revealing to the world that he was in fact a total spazz (”Heart of Dorkness,” City Chatter, June 28). But we were curious to know just […]

Come on Dispatch! Let’s review:
Sam Shamansky is the attorney that you often write about.
Bob Shamansky is the congressional candidate.
This ain’t hard.
Likewise, Sam Shamansky, a congressional candidate from Bexley, passed on the questionnaire. His adviser, Dale Butland, said the questions were poorly worded.
Update: OK, so an alert reader let me in on […]

This post’s musical accompaniment by Primus:

First news of the swiftboat bastards Stevens, Reed, Curcio, & Potholm coming to town via a DeWine attack ad in July. Now we have evil incarnate coming to headline a $100 plate fundraiser.
They’ve played this tune before, only this time the pitch is off.
— btw, Claypool will be […]

The advertising firm that created Mike DeWine’s commercial with the doctored 9/11 footage is the same firm responsible for the Swift Boat Veterans ads slamming John Kerry in 2004. The firm, Stevens, Reed, Curcio, & Potholm, also doctored images in a 1996 campaign for U.S. Sen. John Warner of Virginia — and got fired […]

Get the whole story over at BSB. This is great news. I think this is precisely how Paul can help now. Taking no money from nobody requires huge name ID and a killer ground game. I think having these two on board is the precise right way to go.
“It […]

If it were true that Mr. Blackwell postulates himself in comparison to the great Martin Luther King, Jr., then he would be familiar with a segment of the I have a dream speech that reads� they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character. Mr. […]

Whoops. More Bob Ney fun (via Openers):
Matthew D. Parker, who serves as campaign manager for embattled GOP Rep. Bob Ney, has been subpoenaed by a federal grand jury in Washington, DC, which is investigating the Abramoff scandal.
Parker, who also serves as district director in Ney’s main Ohio office, plans to comply with the subpoena, […]

OK, it’s official. The Republican Mike DeWine campaign is officially a bunch of nitwits. Not only did they produce a disgusting ad riding on the backs of the 3,000 dead Americans on 9/11. They doctored the damned thing!
(hat tip BSB via USNews)
DeWine spokesman Brian Seitchik says the image of the burning towers […]

First we have the Brown campaign, who came out earlier today with this:
Despite the bipartisan effort in the Senate, and overwhelming support from doctors, patient advocacy groups, religious organizations, and 72 percent of the American public, DeWine sided with Bush and voted against this life-saving research.
Then the Shamansky campaign chimed in the same a […]
