Apparently I’m not going to post anything but faux-salacious headlines today. But I thought a line in this comment from a Columbus Dispatch poll was too funny to pass up sharing:
Illegals also steal hard earned money in the form of taxes to take pay for their housing and health needs. I am a struggling [...]

“Crack-dealing piece of trash”

Cleveland Councilman Mike Polensek apparently makes a habit of writing letters to “troublemakers” in his neighborhood. The Cleveland Plain Dealer has an article up about one of those letters because a mother is calling it racist and claims the councilman is threatening to kill her son.
Winston’s mother, Tonya Lewis, said she plans to speak [...]
One more reason to ban all abortions in Ohio: Because rape babies are just too awesome!
Posted in Ohio on my Mind, Reproductive Rights, What the Fuck? on July 19, 2007 | 4 Comments »
Having a rapist’s baby is so empowering. I mean, imagine you’re raped, right? And then you find out you’re pregnant. Sure, you might feel hurt, angry, depressed, scared, worried about how to take care of the child, etc. You might even consider having an abortion. Or giving the baby up for adoption. But think [...]
strippers, gays, wingnuts, campaign finance corruption, trademark infringement … Ohio controversy has it all

Via As Ohio Goes, the Cincinnati-based (and Daddy Dobson affiliated) conservative christian group Citizens for Community Values (the driving force behind Ohio’s recent draconian strip club legislation and the perpetuators of Ohio’s 2004 amendment banning gay marriage) are now suing opposition group Citizens for Community Standards for copying their name.
Charles Allen, a Virginia attorney [...]
this is obviously completely about loving babies and not at all about attention-mongering

Oh dear god (meant in an extended eyeroll kind of way, not an exclamatory kind of way).
An Ohio legislator just introduced a bill that would ban ALL abortions in the state with absolutely no exceptions:
Less than three months after the U.S. Supreme Court upheld a ban on a controversial late-term abortion procedure, a [...]
Ohio: we hate fun, naked ladies, gay people, nicotine …

Oh goodness. My home state is banning-things-crazy these days. In 2004, it was gay marriage. 2005, smoking. 2006 — I don’t know, I think perhaps we were too temporarily consumed with the midterm elections to ban anything this year. We’re making up for it in 2007, though. The past few months, have been all about [...]

MPAA joins fight for strippers’ rights?
Posted in Ohio on my Mind, Strippers on May 22, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
The MPAA has joined the fight against an Ohio law (SB16) that would unfairly restrict strip club workers and owners (and possibly shut them down). I wrote about the bill a few weeks ago, when a group calling themselves Dancers for Democracy gathered in front of the Ohio Statehouse to protest the proposed legislation, which [...]
Dancers for Democracy
Posted in Nanny State, Ohio on my Mind, Strippers on May 2, 2007 | 1 Comment »
This is great. Ohio strippers gather in front of the statehouse in “Dancers for Democracy” t-shirts to protest proposed legislation that would require dancers to stay 6-feet from patrons at all times and some clubs to close at midnight.
Good for them. Fucking smarmy politicians, though … I don’t know why, but I find this [...]
wanna shut down strip clubs, do you? no bagels for you!!!!
Posted in Nanny State, Ohio on my Mind, Strippers on April 29, 2007 | 1 Comment »
I can’t believe this is still going on in the Ohio legislature: legislation to require strip clubs to shut down at midnight and customers to remain at least 6 feet from performers at all times.
It’s so ridiculous, because there’s no way it can even be plausibly explained as anything but an attempt to force [...]

I hope the Cavs keep him forever. As a former Ohioian, I am still a die hard Cavs fan (and Indians)!
This makes me giggle.
A first-floor master suite, which includes a two-story walk-in closet, will be about 40 feet wide and 56 feet long — bigger than half the houses in Bath Township.The house has [...]
smoke-easies, altoid tins, blue moon, janis joplin and vivid imaginations

Via To the People, a piece on Philly.com about “smoke-easies.”
Now “smoke-easies” are nothing new. When my former hometown of Columbus, OH, banned smoking last year, my favorite bars generally didn’t pay heed. One of my favorite neighborhood watering holes got rid of their tell-tale signs of being a smoking establishment, ashtrays, and replaced them [...]

After years of Gov. Taft and Ken Blackwell and all the other jackasses who were running the fine state of Ohio, it’s so nice to finally hear good news coming out of the state on a semi-regular basis. From NARAL Ohio:
On Tuesday the Cincinnati Enquirer reported that Governor Strickland is dropping his predecessor’s fight [...]

Capital Law School, in my old hometown, is holding an “Adoption and Father’s Rights” conference.
After a first glance at the title, I thought maybe the conference was about single father’s who wish to adopt children, or some other under-covered issue that might be sort of interesting. No! Of course not! It’s about how evil [...]

I see my former-home-city is still on its ridiculous street-car quest.
Mayor Michael Coleman last week announced his appointments to the city’s Streetcar Steering Committee which will determine whether a plan for constructing and operating streetcars in downtown Columbus is achievable given existing federal, state and local resources.
“Every expert we’ve spoken with has advised that [...]
