Ten Facts that Show White House Incompetence Hurts Ohio
In response to President Bush’s speech at Cleveland’s City Club, Sherrod released the following 10 facts that show how the White House’s incompetence hurts Ohio.
1. Ohio has lost more than 175,000 manufacturing jobs since 2001 (Ohio Department of Jobs and Family Services)
2. Ohio has lost 49,866 jobs due to NAFTA (Economic Policy Institute)
3. Ohio has lost 58,000 jobs to China between 1989 and 2003 (Economic Policy Institute)
4. As of January of this year, home heating costs were expected to increase by 74 percent throughout the Midwest, with [...]
Full Story... →I made a great discovery tonight while perusing a going out of business sale at a mall record store. Both this store and a video entertainment store were liquidating…hmmm. Anyway, I came across a bluegrass tribute to Led Zeppelin and just could NOT pass that up. I am a big fan of bluegrass – hate country – but bluegrass is really fun music.
The band is Iron Horse, and I recommend checking out their other stuff, but this album is a must have! You should put it on kinda low at your next party and see if [...]
Full Story... →The Ed Schultz show came to Cincy today and Sherrod was on it. Haven’t even listened to yet, just wanted to get up.
Sherrod on Big Eddie:
Update: Comments. They talk about Bush’s visit. They talk about Rush calling him black. Ed does get to the Hackett situation, to which Sherrod basically says he wants Hackettites on board – uses Connie’s speech at the ODP meeting as evidence. The message to change the state is “Strickland-Brown”. They move swiftly to the UAE port situation. Ed went way easy on him given how pissed he was while he [...]
Full Story... →Before he was on Hardball tonight, Paul was interviewed by Big Eddie. Talks about the past week and his involvement in IAVA PAC. I will still try to get the video of Hardball, but found it a bit dull. This audio is pretty decent, though. Ed always does a good job and he and Paul mix it up well.
Full Story... →Audio of the Hackett speech via OH02:
Quick audio update (late because I forgot xmlrpc is still messed up):
Back from the event and I must say it went really well. A ton of people out already (this is February) for a primary in May! We hung out in the room (photos after the break) and snacked, talked, and introduced each other, then moved into an adjoining room – packed like sardines – to see Paul and hear him talk about the campaign and introduce Trish Lanahan from re:organize, who will be the Columbus area field director. [...]
Full Story... →Audio:
They talk about Schmidt in the beginning and how she “squeaked by” Paul in the special (a characterization Paul seemed to enjoy). They then move on to DeWine and his response to illegal wiretapping.
Randi was tough to break in on – yap, yap, yap. Paul did a great job breaking in with his “I’m on a roll…”.
Best line: “But Randi, let’s stop and think about that notion – lead by example. I mean why would we expect this administration to have any understanding of that basic military principle of leadership.” [squawk squawk - where [...]
Full Story... →From OH02 Blog: I grabbed this audio bit of Hackett being mentioned on Stern’s new Sirius show. No serious. The most interesting snippet to me is:
They’re all comin’ back and runnin’ as Democrats…that’s no coincidence

Full Story... →From yesterday. Concerned Alumni of Princeton. The group the judge can’t remember much about. The line of questioning that Kennedy puts him on seems to speak to the nature of his stonewalling and his inability to come clean.
Have you ever put something on a resume that years later you can remember almost NOTHING about? The way I’m seeing it, it is one of two things really:
He signed on to CAP in order to pad his right-wing stats to get the Reagan job
or He is lying about not being able to remember much about it
Either way, [...]
Full Story... →Again today listening in a bit via Pipeline while working. Right off the bat Senator Durbin gets into Alito and grills him on Griswald, privacy, and Roe. Again, these hearings more and more seem to be setting up Alito to be the taskmaster of the right in overturning Roe v. Wade. Alito absolutely would not answer directly the question of whether or not Roe was the settled law of the land (he did a Clintonesque what’s the meaning of settled routine). Roberts did as much, but not Alito. Maybe they’ve found their man.

Alito Would Threaten Underlying Liberties
I was able to get some audio clips of Alito nomination confirmation hearings today. Today featured several legal experts on both sides and featured some really good testimony. I found three particularly thoughtful and enlightening as it relates to what a Justice Alito might mean for the American people.
First is from Erwin Chemerinsky from Duke University, who is troubled by the unitary executive theory:

Next is from Beth Nolan, who also is concerned about executive power – a theme which dominated the day and is particularly troubling to me:
