Every once in awhile you read a story that just makes you laugh, no matter how bad times may be: Daryn Kagan says she wants to find out if there’s a business in good news. Kagan, a 12-year CNN veteran who anchors two hours of news coverage from Atlanta each weekday morning, is leaving Sept. […]
Blackwell’s attempts (some successful) at screwing with the elections in Ohio in 2004 are now costing him: Ohio Secretary of State Ken Blackwell must pay nearly $65,000 in legal fees incurred by the Sandusky County Democratic Party when it successfully challenged one of the chief elections officer’s directives over provisional ballots in 2004. The Cincinnati-based […]
Looks like faith is in the dumps and finding that faith can result in some nice rewards: Electrician Michael Hoskins is not averse to browsing when he drops off trash at the Route 41 dump bin, and a recent visit rewarded his curiosity. Hoskins said he discovered a 188-year-old King James Bible. Now he’s fending […]
Ken Mehlman has laid out his party’s strategy for 2006 and guess what?

While I do not believe these few soldiers represent the greater United States military, I fear that Iraqi’s will not want to distinguish them from their peers as easily: U.S. soldiers stepped outside the law when they murdered three Iraqi detainees “in cold blood,” a prosecutor told a U.S. military hearing on Friday. “U.S. soldiers […]
Paul Hackett was on the Colbert Report last night to talk about such things as Iraq and why he dropped out of the Senate race this year. Check it out. I got to say Paul brings up a great point and is a point that is echoed in Crashing the Gate – that the party […]
E.J. Dionne has a great piece in today’s Washington Post raising the question of “is conservatism dead“? What might have seemed an absurd question less than two years ago is now one of the most important issues in American politics. The question is being asked — mostly quietly but occasionally publicly — by conservatives themselves […]
Earlier this week, Bush was in Florida to speak about our “robust and strong economy”. As matter of fact, that is what all his speeches are suppose to focus on in the near future. I wonder if this news will change that agenda? The nation’s economy generated 113,000 jobs in July, the Labor Department reported […]
Earlier today during a hearing of the Senate Armed Services Committee, Hilary Clinton grilled Rumsfeld. Here is the exchange: (h/t crooks and liars) Now the post-morteum of that exchange has lead to Hilary calling for the resignation of Rumsfeld: Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton called Thursday for the resignation of Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, hours after […]
With all this talk of race baiting and racism from people on the left (which I believe is utter bullshit), I want to raise a serious question. Last week in Blue Ohio News, I posted about this flyer that the Blackwell campaign put out: And here is the story that followed: A group of more […]
