Brunner’s Tantrum - Tosses Cunningham From Statewide Board

February 29, 2008 | Leave a Comment

 Brunner had a disagreement with Allen County Elections Director Keith Cunningham. It was sharp enough for her to remove him from the statewide board. It’s a shame for her to do it over the disagreement. Especially since the rest of the stae has more troubles with machines than does Allen County. The story is below… […]

McCain’s Freudian Slip

February 29, 2008 | Leave a Comment

Don’t you hate it when the tongue gets all tied up. Some say it’s a freudian slip. Two words from two different points got mixed up that’s all. I can understand it because I have made similar slips in speech. However, it’s too funny to pass up and expresses what many conservatives have surmised. So […]

Border Violence Against Agents Means Success

February 25, 2008 | Leave a Comment

I suppose that statement might have some truth to it. The law breakers are getting more desperate. On the other side of the coin I tried using that in Iraq. Does the level of violence mean we have success or are nearing success? Either way I am not sure the Agents really want more of […]

February 23, 2008 | 1 Comment

If only the clergy could get everyone to follow the 10 commandments. So it seems the man who knowingly didn’t follow the rules when as a employee of the Department of Corrections he rented to a known felon without reporting it would well to follow his own advice.

Gov. Strickland to make tough decisions

February 18, 2008 | 1 Comment

I will believe it when I see it. Real cuts? More like the tough decision will be to raiser our taxes. Has anyone figured out if the commerce activity tax has been the real damper on business? Or how about the sales tax? Could these be removed or has it been determined that Columbus can’t […]

Another Year Unjustly In Jail - Ramos and Compean

February 16, 2008 | 1 Comment

The anniversary of their incarceration has come and past. Yet the two border agents remain in jail for shooting a man in the butt. Before you think that this can be quickly dismissed as rouge agents read the fine summary from the National Center blog. When policy thwarts justice we have certainly sunk low. When […]

 I certainly hope that moderates and conservatives can rally toward Huckabee rather than fall like Lemmings over the cliff just because they are supposed to. McCain will not be able to win if Obama wins the Dem ticket. He can against Hillary because, well because she’s Hillary. Name the number of Senators who […]
