The Marion Star
recently reported that Marion
County (Ohio) Commissioner Josh Daniels has filed for reelection.
If there is a
God in Heaven SOMEONE in this town will run against him and spare the community
another four years of Mr. Daniels. Personally, I'd vote for nearly anyone
else! Anybody know if Francis the talking mule is available?
You may remember, this is the same guy that
shot his wife and pretty much got away with it. More on that story
here.
But Wait, There's More!
Lo and behold, this morning at Marion's Perkins
Restaurant I learned that at least one person is filing to run against
Josh Daniels. While I can't divulge his name, this person is well known to
me and will make a terrific candidate and (hopefully) a good commissioner.
More as it becomes available!
Recyclin' Bin Blues
In
our smallish, rust belt little town of Marion, Ohio we've had always been
satisfied with the city services provided by the municipality. Since recycling
of trash came into vogue some many years back and we received our blue tub from
the city we've always been diligent in separating our paper, cardboard, metal,
plastic, and glass items into our little blue bin. The city owns at least one
special recycling truck with open bins in the back for collection from the blue
bins.
We've watched the recycling guy carefully cull
the different recyclable items from resident's bins into his vehicle's bins on
trash and recycle day. It seemed that we were all doing our part. The city and
it's employees appeared serious about their commitment to the environment. We
actually received a note of instruction on our door once when we did not
adequately separate out waste materials to their satisfaction.
Imagine our consternation this week when we
witnessed the trash men come down our street and dump BOTH trash cans and the
blue recycling bins into the back of their garbage trucks! What's going on here?
There was maybe 4 inches of snow on the ground. So, was it just too bad
out to recycle? Or, was this Obama's fault, or Al-Qaeda's, or worse?
Perhaps it's just that the City of Marion's
environmental commitment doesn't run quite as deep as we thought. Wow, another
bubble burst! Anyone from the City of Marion that cares to comment on this

In 2008,
half the people who watched the Fox News
Channel were over sixty-three, which is
the oldest demographic in the cable-news
business, and, according to a poll, the
majority of the ones who watched the
most strident programs, such as Sean
Hannity’s and Bill O’Reilly’s shows,
were men. All that chesty fulminating
apparently functions as political
Cialis. Fox News shows should probably
carry a warning: Contact your doctor if
you have rage lasting more than four
hours.

In eight
short years, conservatives have
effectivelybankrupted
many state governments and left the fed
in shambles. And now citizens have to
"make tough decisions" and share the
suffering equally across the land
(unless of course, you're part of that
lucky 1 percent who co-opted the
functions of government to serve their
own ends ... they'll be cozy with their
offshore bank accounts, golden
parachutes and permanent tax holidays).
You and I lived through it, now let's take a quick
review of the utter insanity that was the year 2009.
From Joe the Plumber to Joe Lieberman, Glenn Beck
and the Teabaggers! It's all here! More
Super Bowl Picture of the Game
Hate Glenn Beck?
You might
think so from the number of articles
and
videos posted on this site.
Fact
is, I don't hate the man. It's just
amazing to me that he actually has a TV
and radio show! Even more stunning
is that there are quite a few people in
the country that actually pay attention
to him. I post information about him for
the benefit of those that don't know
what a moron he is.
I read the
Columbus Dispatch daily and the
other day there was a letter to the
editor about guns, gun control, and the
lack of public outrage about gun deaths
in this country.

Ignore Fox Obama's right. It's time to stop
taking the network's skewed news
seriously!
By Jacob Weisberg from
Slate
Last
week, when White House communications
director Anita Dunn charged the Fox News
Channel with right-wing bias, Fox
responded the way it always does.
It denied
the accusation with a straight face
while proceeding to confirm it with its
coverage.
