Editorial

This book is too awesome to describe to you other than just saying this - keep reading it until you think it sucks. Before you know it, you will have finished the entire book. I have never read a book that affected me as much as this one did.

This video changed me and affected me deeply. I recommend it to all Christians and to anyone ever hurt by people calling themselves Christian. Please give it a chance.

Has anyone heard anything about the Lima SWAT shooter who was supposed to go to trial on a misdemeanor charge in July? The incident occurred last January, he was indicted in April and was supposed to be tried this month, but I haven't heard a peep about it. Anybody heard any news?

IT WAS appropriate that the plane carrying Reps. Bob Latta, Jim Jordan, and eight of their Republican congressional colleagues never got to land at the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.

When will enough be enough, Carty?

Haven't you driven off enough tax revenue to benefit your neighbors? And you can't figure out why Toledo dosen't have any money to support your pet projects? And who are you to worry about what is going on in someone's bedroom?

WTF !

The city wants to tout their doubling recycling rates. I call bullshit. First off they extorted... errrr forced people into recycling. Through graduating fees and their automatic sign up for those involved in the automated trash program. So the stated numbers are teasing if not outright lies. Falsely reporting them on the week the Bloomers is very self serving.

Beating the Census Bureau a few days before the official number comes out. Carty announces that the City of Toledo has more than 300K people. That he magically found 4000 under estimated people. Then the bureau releases their claim. While I know getting an actually headcount is extremely difficult. Who is right ? And. Who cares ? Are we suppose to believe the number that came out first?

Some thoughts while reading Local pundits respond:

"Commissioner-turned-radio-talk-show-host Maggie Thurber said people are frustrated, but not necessarily with economic and social issues.

Last week in this publication, Maggie Thurber took the time to recognize the work I've done to try to make Lucas County more economically competitive and give our hard-working residents some opportunities for gainful employment (“Konopnomics,” June 22).

The Wall Street Journal has taken notice of what a trainwreck this state has become, especially in the past two years:

This is what happens when you get too high and mighty. This administration ignored basic human rights issues and tried to slip around the system and the courts. Eventually, they were caught up in their own arrogance. Here's what really happened.

By denying Gitmo detainees basic legal protections, the Bush administration forced the high court to act.

In an anti-gun editorial in today's Blade, an argument is made that property rights are violated by the new gun law. The Ohio Castle Doctrine will prevent landlords from forbidding tenents to have guns. The Blade says this is an abrogation of private property rights. How duplicitous of The Blade!

3 men can be found guilty of thinking planning and training to do harm. No where close do actually to acting on their desires. And now face years in jail. Then we have a celebrity in the news today. Acquitted. That was not him or her on the video tape. 22 people including the girl in questions own family testified that it was. What am i missing ?

Excellent op ed piece from the city paper.

Excerpt:

Maybe Karyn is just faking it again.

As some of you know and who are probably tired of reading my posts, I am a strong advocate of the American people's rights and of minimal government interference in our lives. But I believe the issue is serious and our freedoms are in jeopardy. Here is a timely article to think about.

The Fed is cranking up the printing presses to smooth over the rough edges in our economy. Meantime, prices go higher and higher. Gasoline is pegged to the dollar and that goes up along with everything else we buy. In 1920s Germany they took shopping bags full of money to the market to buy stuff. Is that where we're headed?

Whatever happened to Ron Paul's campaign, which seems to have disappeared? Here's one answer: the media in this country buried it. For a look at the power of media persuasion and its ability to focus our attention on whom they want us to look at, check out this clip of the relative popularity of the candidates from another perspective.

An Adrian man accused of killing five members of a Maryland family in a wrong-way crash on I-280 will enter a plea Friday in Lucas County Common Pleas Court.

Only in the Lucas County Judicial System can you kill an entire family, get caught red-handed at the scene and get a plea deal.

Another day more rights lost. Michigan's state senate voted to pass their own form of a smoking ban. All the bill needs is Granholm's signature. All those who thought they could escape Ohio's ban by hoping across the border will soon run out of options. Border bar owners rejoice, high gasoline prices may bring former customers back. Perhaps they will enforce the law as poorly as they do here.

Chris, I won't sign on this year 'till I see most of these 9 points implemented. I hope Rush will put the pressure on McCain now.
