Outlawing abortion will NOT end it

After reading more wacky comments about abortion from another conservative representative (Joe Walsh) I just have to write this. No matter what our society does, no matter how many laws we create, outlawing abortion will not end it. I don’t why some people can’t seem to understand this. As long as women get pregnant there […]

Plain Dealer Endorses Obama; Columbus Dispatch, True to Form, Smooches Romney

A lot of people have been predicting since the Cleveland Plain Dealer’s endorsement of Sherrod Brown came out a few weeks ago, that they would attempt to balance the scales by endorsing Mitt Romney. I didn’t think so. The case is too weak — the Salt Lake City Tribute just endorsed Obama — and the […]

Best Obama Quote From Last Night

“… Governor Romney, I’m glad that you recognize that Al Qaida is a threat, because a few months ago when you were asked what’s the biggest geopolitical threat facing America, you said Russia, not Al Qaida; you said Russia, in the 1980s, they’re now calling to ask for their foreign policy back because, you know, […]

Two Things for Cleveland Obama Supporters to Do Thursday Night

President Obama will be back in Cleveland yet again to host one last rally for the troops before the election. Those who were at the rally days before the election on Cleveland’s now nonexistent malls (being torn up for the new convention center) remember what an exciting and electrifying event it was, with Bruce Springsteen […]

Women and Mitt Romney

After the first presidential debate, there were a few polls that would have had you believe that in the blink of an eye, Mitt Romney had closed the gender gap: that women now supported him at the same rate as men. Not every polls showed that, of course. And I found it difficult to believe. […]

I get what Jim Renacci is doing

The internet lit up yesterday after it was reported that Jim Renacci was pulling all of his broadcast TV ads. Article link: http://www.cleveland.com/open/index.ssf/2012/10/rep_jim_renacci_plans_to… It seemed like an odd thing to do. Democrats who struggle to raise money to buy any TV time at all shook their heads in dis-belief. Being the victims of incredible onslaughts of […]

An unfortunate victim of the economy

She posts, “It is with great regret that The VegiTerranean in downtown Akron has closed it doors for the last time. This has been a labor of love for us for the last four years. We tried everything we could to keep […]

Media acknowledges OccupyWall Street; creates narrative crutch

Well, the mainstream media finally perked up and realized that, since it was spreading across the country, maybe they’d better do something about covering the OccupyWallStreet demonstrations. You can tell they are not happy about it. I wrote about NPR’s wobbly-kneed, pathetic little excuse a week ago: http://www.ohiodailyblog.com/content/new-civil-rights-movement%3F Their excuse hinted at the excuse the […]
