It would seem that there are now grounds to keep every pol tied up in litigation for the rest of their lives. Mean Jean in particular.

It should be played every Thanksgiving because if you want to end war and stuff, you gotta sing loud! Peter B., thanks for saving Thanksgiving for me by playing Alices Restaurant.

I'm not sure what to believe about him as I came across this post at Ohio's best progressive blog: http://www.plunderbund.com/2009/11/24/oh-02-close-the-book-on-this-election-schmidt-is-likely-to-be-re-elected/ But hey, anyone other than Mean Jean would be an upgrade. She's a disgrace to the Buckeye state. btw Peter, you know politics inside and out, but isn't Cincy itself fairly Democratic? It's had many Dem mayors including Jerry Springer. Suburban Cincy is John Boehner country. I think Schmidt's district is the eastern Cincy suburbs and the counties along the Ohio River to Portsmouth. Speaking of Jerry Springer, I'd love for a progressive to challenge Gov. Strickland (D) for the Dem nomination next year. Strickland has taken his left flank for granted since taking office and has balanced budgets on the backs of the working and middle class. Ohio might as well have a Republican governor if the budget is going to be balanced with such cuts. It'll be difficult getting Ohio's Democratic base out in 2012 the way Strickland and Obama have been governing, IMHO. Here's a Daily Kos post that drafts Springer for Ohio governor that I authored: http://www.dailykos.com/story/2009/10/15/793599/-Jerry-Springer-for-Ohio-Governor-in-2010 I won't be holding my breath ;-) Happy Thanksgiving Just wanted to send a word of caution about David Kirkorian.

I admit that with lots of names and complex relationships, I get lost at times (can't really take notes from your bike), but the information is precisely what we need more of, not only in America but here in Japan as well.
