An Auburn football player was bitten by a police dog last weekend during a game. The announcers think the officer might have been an Alabama fan, but my suspicion is that the dog mistook the defensive back for Michael Vick.

Down Tennessee way…
Police have lost red-light cameras to traffic accidents but never to gun play. “This is the first one that’s been shot,” Capt. Gordon Catlett said of the wounded camera at the intersection of Broadway Avenue and Interstate 640 — one of 15 camera-equipped intersections in the city.
Clifford E. Clark, 47, was charged with […]

A town hall meeting from 2001 where Rudy shows what he’s all about.

Yeah, a Giuliani Administration would be a huge improvement over the chuckleheads we have now. (Rolleyes)

The plan by the Ohio Civil Rights Commission (OCRC) that gives women 12 weeks of unpaid maternity leave IS a good idea.
I think we can all agree on that.
But Barbara Sykes, chair of the OCRC, is out of line by refusing the Governor’s request “to delay the hearing to make sure small businesses have the […]

In a rare and fictional midnight ceremony, Jeff Coryell was anointed with the coveted green Hickmania™ jacket for protecting the integrity of the Ohio blogosphere by banning disruptive commenter and wannabe blogger David B. Hickman Jr.
Russell Hughlock, one of the original spurned by said David Hickman was on hand to award the latest “H” emblazoned […]

If you’ve visited OhioDailyBlog lately (and you should daily - it’s not called that for nothing you know!), you will have noticed an insane amount of Hickmania™ in the comments there. Apparently it was too much to bear and was dragging down another great Ohio political blog and it looks like Dave Hickman - […]

So Republican Senator Trent Lott announced that he intends to resign his seat before the end of the year.
And rumors are flying as to his reasons.
Big Head DC claims it’s because he has been outed by a gay prostitute named Benjamin Nicholas. Benjamin Nicholas has denied the rumor.
Jerid over at BSB is […]

The dispatch’s Daily Briefing has pointed out a great option for the centrally-located but almost-dead City Center Mall: A CASINO!
But Mayor Mike Coleman killed the option before it even got out of the idea phase.
Supposedly, Mayor Mike Coleman was in Detroit today for a meeting with the leaders of other cities to discuss the […]

According to a UPI story TV Guide’s next issue is going to cover the favorite TV shows of the presidential candidates.
Some of the choices are pretty obvious, like John McCain watching “Prison Break” because it reminds him of trying to break out of his prison cell in Vietnam.
Or the famous lawyer John Edwards being a […]

In an interesting intellectual exercise, Matthew White imagined how North America would have looked if separatist movements had succeeded rather than failed in the history of North America… starting with a 1787 fire killing many of the Constitutional Convention. Instead of 3 countries, we could have had 19. StrangeMaps has the tale… and […]

Does anyone else find it kind of INSANE that George Bush is hosting a Middle East Peace Conference in Maryland while the US still has 175,000 troops deployed IN THE MIDDLE EAST fighting Bush’s war in Iraq?
A war that has killed somewhere between 100,000 and 600,000 Iraqi (i.e. Middle Eastern) CIVILIANS?

This is so amazing, the goalkeeper never even moved an inch.

Futsal is a sport made with Brazilians in mind. (Tho I think this guy was Italian.)

Did you ever wonder about who the big polluters are in Ohio? Well, the EPA has provided an easy way to visualize that data in Google Earth. For example, I downloaded the Ohio data for NOx emissions (in tons) and took two images of Ohio, one statewide and another focusing on Franklin County. […]

Jerid takes Mark Dann to task for souring his 2006 Election Night memories. It is well deserved. I’ve not commented on any of the Dann stuff for a very simple reason. I’m not going to give Dann any cover on any of this. Some have tried to do just that, but […]
