Plunderbund

I’m not sure about other Plundermonkies, but I’m going to be checking out here for the long weekend. The only thing I have promised to myself was to write about my recent trip to Zen Mountain Monastery. Possibly a few other things, but the weekend will be filled mostly with a spring goodwill […]

…that’s what we always have to do with our kids when it gets late in the day and they get crabby: make sure they get a nap. John was all crabby yesterday and began whining and crying about Iraq War funding:

[Translation: Not having enough money to kill ragheads makes me sad!]
Now, […]

Rothenberg’s Shadows on High this week is a good one. Brian wonders aloud why our legislature makes time for such pressing things as gay adoption, the distance between patron and stripper, and Wexner Indie films while human trafficking and forced prostitution exists in the state.
Then again, if history is an indicator, we can just […]

Matt Dole gets invited to be an attack dog for OH18 on the NRCC’s “The Real Democrat Story” blog. Makes perfect sense. His blog has been typically known to follow the party line. The bad thing is he’s pretty bad at the attack dog thing. His big revelation on a “follow […]

Update: That was fast. I hear the Obama camp gave Jerid a call and he’s setting up events with them, Edwards, and some others. Look forward to it!
As many of you might know, our friend and caretaker of the Buckeye State Blog Jerid Kurtz has been in New Hampshire for going on […]

via email from my friends at America Votes:
We hear it from the news, elected officials and our kids – there are problems with Ohio’s schools that range from inadequate funding to classrooms being too full. Join America Votes, ProgressOhio, coalition partners and allies for a community forum on education.
We are bringing […]

So, the Ohio GOP (and the right-wing blogosphere) is apoplectic over SoS Brunner’s plan to encourage HS graduates to register to vote, and specifically, the counties targeted for the pilot test run of the program. The gist of the complaint is that of the 5 pilot counties (Knox, Lucas, Montgomery, Scioto, and Trumbull), only […]

The late Rev. Jerry Falwell? He was exactly like a Hummer H2. Oh yes he was. Bloated, arrogant, offensive to millions and deeply wrong in a thousand ways and yet blindly worshipped by a shockingly large and happily uninformed throng of devout minions for no other reason than he was, well, bloated, arrogant and wrong.

First I want to congratulate Mary and Heather her lesbian partner on the birth of their new son. This is great news. I do want to point out, however, that this puts us all at risk for another 9/11 type attack - at least according to recently deceased Christofascist Jerry Falwell.
Nice photo with […]

Following on the heels of Bush declassifying reports on bin Laden and activities in Iraq so he could make a speech to the Coast Guard Academy, we now have a new strategy in the works. Yes, yet a new strategy.
Guess what this one includes? Negotiating with the terrorists! I shit […]

Damn near OGT:

Rod Parsley, televangelist and religious charlatan, flew to Lynchburg, VA in his private jet on Sunday to attend Jerry Falwell’s funeral the following day.
It’s just too bad Mr. Parsley didn’t plan his trip for a week earlier… maybe he could have used the magical power of prayer to heal Mr. Falwell and prevent his death […]

Strickland announced today that he doesn’t want beer and wine served at the state fair.
I’m guessing this probably won’t impact his Sixty-eight percent approval rating ( “the highest initial gubernatorial approval rating recorded by the Ohio Poll in its 26-year history” ) - but it still puzzles me.
You can buy beer at other summertime destinations […]

Such a very nice and positive story from Bizzy. I’m thankful that he didn’t make fun of the kid. He tends to do that to folks with Hussein as part of their name.
