Thursday morning both Bob Latta and Lee Fisher will be guests on my show. Congressman Latta at 7:30, Mr. Fisher at 8:30. Should be fun.

According to a non-scientific, WTOL poll, 21% of those who responded believe President Obama is" living up to his campaign promises," while 79% do not believe he is doing so.

I'd like to see them continue the poll, or present a similar one, after State of the Union to see if there is a shift in sensibility after he has an opportunity to re-connect with his audience through some crafty use of language.

The second most-watched news clip on CNN this morning is headlined: "Daylight Rape on City Street."

Rick Sanchez mentions Toledo, three, four, five times or more....

As a follow up to yesterday's explosive news, check out today's an amazing - and hideous - interchange between CNN reporter Ed Henry and White House press secretary Robert Gibbs about new evidence that Tim Geithner's New York Fed instructed AIG to hide information from SEC regulators. (more)

Well tomorrow is Thanksgiving day. A very American holiday. A time to pause and give thanks for all we have been blessed with as Americans. For a strong and free government blessed with divine providence from God. So take a moment and be thankful.It could be worse. We could actually have a horrible economy and owe the nation to a Communist country. (Oh wait we do!) Well at least we have a President who puts his country before his own ego. One that will support his troops and let them know that , he has their back. (OH what?

I'm a bit of a junkie on all matters concerning the JFK assassination of almost 46 years ago (next month) and am interested in those Swampbubblers who are of an age (I'm sure there aren't many) where they might remember where they were and what they were doing when they learned of the assassination. Also, interested in theories/arguments in regards to single assassin (Oswald) or conspiracy debate.
Check current political debates/philosophies/arguments at the door. It isn't about that..

Toledo company is named as an example of inflated reporting of federal stimulus dollar jobs.

The Toledo, Ohio-based Koring Group also received two FCC contracts to help people make the switch to digital television. The company reported hiring 26 people for each of the two contracts, bringing its total jobs to 54 on the government's official count.

Here it is, the only objective, unbiased ranking system there is. Strictly driven by wins and losses period. This is much more fairer to the non-BCS schools.

Compared to BCS rankings:
-Iowa = underranked
-USC = way overranked
-TCU = slightly underranked
-Cincinnati and Boise State = slightly overranked.

Democratic Rep. Pete Visclosky’s taste in pork has changed considerably amid a federal investigation into his office’s earmarking and fundraising practices, and that’s just one sign that the shy appropriator is adjusting to his new life in the spotlight of a Washington scandal.

Visclosky once earmarked millions of Pentagon dollars a year for private companies outside his home state of Indiana but now seeks cash only for public works, educational institutions and the National Guard in the Hoosier State.

212 communities -- are
praying and fasting for an end to abortion.

Is the tide finally turning? I pray that it is!

More and more abortion centers seem to be
experiencing a decrease in customers. And I have to
think the reason is all that intense prayer!

Ann in Toledo, Ohio was surprised when the Center for
Choice, the location of Toledo's 40 Days for Life
vigil, was closed on Friday, one of the two days each
week when abortions are usually scheduled.

"It is extremely rare that the center is closed on a

"sport in America is at its best when it unifies, gives all of us reason to cheer, and when it transcends. Our sport does exactly that when it overcomes division and rejects discrimination and hatred."
