Carnival of Ohio Politics #140
By the time you read this edition of the carnival, we could be about 140 hours from having a good sense of who, if anybody, accurately predicted the allocation of states, electoral votes and the popular vote between John McCain and Barack Obama. I don’t know about you, but I was just describing to someone else that I feel and see the time left between now and then as being similar to what an accordian looks like went it’s completely smushed and compressed…and out of air.
Being bloggers such as we are, however, means never being out of air.

Carnival of Ohio Politics #139
Who has time to shop around for Halloween costumes when election time is nearly upon us and the political news descends upon us so fast and furious as it does in the swing state of Ohio?
To make it more convenient for bloggers like the contributors to Carnival of Ohio Politics, one needn’t rush to the stores to find costumes. One needn’t even try to scour up a magic lamp to rub and wish upon. Costumes such as the one pictured can be ordered by way of the internet.
The pictured costume was inspired by the NBC television series “I Dream of Jeannie,” which originally aired from 1965 to 1970. The show began with an astronaut serendipitously finding a magic lamp from which a doting genie emerged who was eager to use her magic in an effort to please her new master, the astronaut, but which often led to comic mayhem in the course of doing so.
The series was comprised of a total of 139 episodes.
And on that note, Carnival of Ohio Politics now has 139 episodes of its own.

Carnival #136
Welcome to Carnival #136. Hard to believe. Although we aren’t quite to that point yet, temperatures in the Ohio blogosphere are sure to rise as we enter the homestretch of the election in this pivotal state. That is just how it goes. Well maybe not for everyone, but for some of us that will be the case. Which leads me to my numerical tie in. The hottest temperature ever recorded was back in September of 1922 in Al ‘Aziziyah, Libya. Of course, that record is 136 degrees. I don’t get hot easily, but that might be a tad too much for me.

Carnival of Ohio Politics #135
Some days, levity is the best we can do and so today, I give you 135 Ways to Ruin the Olympics with Techonology from the popular website, Gizmodo (you can browse through the full gallery of 135 from here). It’s a photo-collage of athletes being foiled not by foils but by technology-enhanced competitors in a variety of sports that saw competition in Beijing. I’ve included my favorite one to the right. I’m sure you’ll find one too.
Back to us mere mortal political bloggers.

I am going to cop out and not do a theme this week. I think I broke my hand punching my kitchen counter last night, so typing is painful. There were a ton of good posts this week across the blogosphere.

Carnival of Ohio Politics, #112
How about some musical imagery for this week’s edition from the group, 112? Now that you’re relaxed and mellow from that diversion, you can get all worked up again over Ohio politics.
Lisa Renee wasn’t the only one writing about capital punishment. Conservative Culture asks for volunteers for the firing squad. And on the topic of border security, CC asserts that the weakest link is at the border of Mexico (and not Lake Erie? 
that’s the inferred Ohio connection no doubt!).
