Here in the greater Cincinnati area we saw 16 tax levies on the ballot yesterday. Of those 16 only 5 passed. The local news reports showed people all saying the same thing; “we want to support it, but the economy is just too rough”. Of course a lot of the levies were for schools and […]
It’s funny that even with the entire Blago debacle going on in Illinois and Republicans trying to paint Democrats in the state as the epitome of corruption, the people still want Democrats to lead them: Democratic Cook County Commissioner Mike Quigley claimed victory tonight in the 5th District race to replace Rahm Emanuel in Congress.

I was looking at some local news this morning, when I happened to head to the page of our local FOX affiliate. When I looked on their page, something really stuck out at me: It appears that our local FOX station doesn’t trust FOX News for their news source, so instead they go to CNN. […]

Jerry Springer is a household name. From his hit television show to his great show on Air America, Jerry is out there and very popular. I have known of Jerry my entire life. Growing up in Cincinnati, Jerry was a household name. From his days as mayor until the time he was anchoring the local […]
It was just reported on local news that due to polling problems in Cleveland results of the Ohio primaries will be delayed. The polling stations in Cleveland have been ordered to remain open until 9:30pm (a two hour extension) due to the problems. I will have more as it becomes available. UPDATE: Judge Orders Polling […]
So I wake up this morning and here on the local news. Bush has sunk to a 37% approval rating in one of the reddest states in the union – Indiana. From the Indianapolis Star Indiana voted twice to elect George W. Bush to the White House, but an Indianapolis Star poll indicates more than […]
