Some asshat from the Buckeye Institute filed a lawsuit against ACORN a few weeks ago.
Today Ed Brayton posts about an interview he did with Maurice Thompson of the Buckeye Institute and basically destroys their case. It turns out the “proof” the Buckeye Institute claims to have is actually just a bunch of lies.
The […]

Esquire Magazine articles are hardly the go-to information source for political trends but I couldn’t pass up a quick post about this strange one: “Why White Supremacists Support Barack Obama.”
The article basically interviews 4 white supremacists and finds that three of them actually support obama.
And why, you might ask, would a white supremacist support […]

You can vote however you like:

…but I recommend Obama!

According to the call I got this morning, the Ohio AFL-CIO is endorsing the caino initiative because it will bring thousands of good jobs to Ohio that can’t be shipped overseas.

For those of you who are counting, consider this reason #13 I’m voting for Issue #6.
UPDATE:
Also got a mailer today…

Halloween is, without a doubt, my favorite holiday. Normally I’ll carve a couple of pumpkins - one kind of happy and one kind of scary.
I always buy way too much candy (because one year we ran out) and almost always I’m sent out of town for work at the last minute and I never […]

Up to you…

One of the best ways to understand a person is through their role models.
And our introduction to Peter Feldman wouldn’t be complete unless we discussed some of his.
First up is John Bolton.

You may know recognize Mr. Walrus Mustache Bolton from his brief stint as US representative to the UN. Or maybe as one of […]

I just saw this live on CNN - best interview of the week!
Another great example of what happens when interviewers actually follow up on their questions - especially with the “can you give me one example of …” question…

Sitting at breakfast this morning reading the Dispatch I noticed an article on the front page titled “Ohio’s tuition rise lowest”.
The article talks about the two-year tuition freeze at Ohio’s public colleges - a freeze proposed and fought for by Democratic Governor Ted Strickland.
I didn’t see any mention of Ted on the front page - […]

Don Elijah Eckhart, the other guy running for Congress in Ohio’s 15th district, gave Mary Jo Kilroy an endorsement this morning on WOSU.
I only caught the end of the show, which had Mary Jo Kilroy, Steve Stivers and Eckhart answering questions from callers. But I’m confident I tuned in to the best part.
One of […]

Kos reports on story from The Hill that Lieberman is going to lose his chairmanship of the Homeland Security Committee…
That’s what I call a lose-lose for Lieberman, and it couldn’t have happened to a more horrible person.
Amen Markos.

Before I start this post I’d like to thank Modern Esquire from BSB to inspiring me to write it.
Really early this morning Modern posted something that made me even more sure I made the right decision in voting for this year’s casino ballot initiative (Issue #6).
He points out that the Ohio Republican […]

Last December Steve Stivers - Republican candidate for Congress in Ohio’s 15th district - made some creepy comments about a bunch of young High School girls in Cincinnati, calling them “attractive women” and saying that he’s “allowed to window shop, just not buy.”
I don’t think I even posted about it back then because it didn’t […]

Earlier today Tim over at BI posted some info on Peter Feldman - the kid who pushed the fake, racist, carved-B story to the press while working for John McCain in PA. I didn’t discover his post until this evening. It covers some of the same info as my earlier post […]

Peter Feldman has made quite a name for himself this past week.
Feldman, in case you haven’t heard, is the McCain communications staffer in Pennsylvania who pushed an incendiary version of the Ashley Todd story to the press. Basically claiming that a large, black, Barack Obama-supporting man carved a backwards B into the face of […]
